Since I started this blog last summer, I’ve dedicated quite a bit of time to debunking all theories presented regarding the Montauk Monster. Was it a dog? Was it a pig? A viral marketing ploy? Honestly, it really doesn’t matter at this point as the original carcass was stolen and later disintegrated into a “ball of goo”.
On Wednesday May 5th 2009, I was contacted by a couple that sent a message to the general e-mail box on this website claiming they think they’ve found what appears to be the Montauk Monster. Naturally, I questioned it thinking it was BS, but they seemed credible enough (after a phone conversation of course) to take an hour drive to Southold and see it for myself up close and personal.
Upon discovery, it resembled what everyone saw last summer. This monster was located in Southold, NY on the Bay Area. For those who are unfamiliar with the area, this is the North Fork of Long Island. The beast smelled like a mix of low-tide and rotten garbage. It really smelled horrific. I couldn’t help but take numerous pictures of it and video clips.
The couple who tipped me off loaded the carcass into a garbage bag and took it home with them. We’ve been in correspondence numerous times and have agreed that for the remainder of the week, we’d keep this matter to ourselves. The remains are currently located in Southold in a cooler full of ice.
I wanted to think about the best way to expose this to the public. Since I own this medium, and have a genuine interest in the subject matter, I’d like to be the first to share this you. We did not contact any authorities as from previous experiences; the carcass has been taken from the finders or mysteriously “stolen”. If this is a genetic mishap from Plum Island, we’d like to sell the remains to an independent lab for study. It has become a race against the clock as the couple who originally found “Beastie” are diligently putting more ice into the cooler to keep the carcass fresh.
Also, I’ve thought about the possibilities that this carcass may be carrying H1N1 influenza. (The Swine Flu) Sorry, my mind is racing now, but I haven’t ruled out biological warfare on this yet. A diseased carcass floating in waterways around Long Island could be infecting the water, fish, etc. We still need to remember that Plum Island is where Lyme Disease originated, it’s really not too far fetched to believe that this carcass (if from Plum Island) could be carrying bacteria or disease.
Here is a video clip of our discovery:
After viewing this video above, please keep in mind that my intentions are not waste your time with a recreation of the Blair Witch Project. This video was taken at night on the beach where the monster was found. (Founder’s Landing Park, Southold NY)
I would like your honest opinion even you tell me “it’s a dog!” My intentions from the beginning have been to inform my readers of “The Truth, The Legend, and The Mystery” behind The Montauk Monster, a 2008 phenomenon. Additionally, I’m not interested in going on the Geraldo Rivera show like my buddy Mike did last summer as an eyewitness. It’s a tempting offer taking a limousine full of champagne sent by Geraldo to a TV studio, but I’ll take this time now to politely decline.
Here’s the deal:
I’m only interested in dealing with publications who have a genuine interest in this story, or have previously covered the Montauk Monster. I’m not looking to waste my time or the media’s. I have over 70 high quality pictures that I took personally from a Lumix digital camera (14.7 megapixels) which includes close-ups and multiple angles of The Montauk Monster.
If your publication is interested in obtaining exclusive pictures of The Montauk Monster or would like to interview Nicky Papers (yours truly!) please e-mail us. Local laboratories and independent research firms I encourage to contact us as well as we’d like to receive conclusive results as to what the Montauk Monster really is.
What do you think this monster is? Comment here.
Kind regards and best wishes,
Nicky Papers

its a bear, maybe like a young one or something that fell into the ocean, got washed up at NY
It’s a dead dog/pig with a goat skull installed in it. Faul Play.
I strongly recommend the discussion at
http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2009/05/montauk_monster_take_2_sigh.php
for its no-nonsense approach and zoological knowledge. (The tone of the discussion… Darren Naish, the author, is a serious cryptozoologist and offended by what he sees as ignorance and laziness in media comments.)
Most mammals have fur, and we aren’t usually familiar with the profile of the de-furred body– remember the to-do last year when a mangy bear cub was thought to be Bigfoot! In addition, rotten corpses bloat up. So it’s best to go be skeleton features rather than overall appearance. Several people here have said “bear,” and others have pointed out that the molars suggest an omnivorous animal like a pig. Raccoons are similar, in skull and tooth features, to small bears, and have molars as omnivorous as pigs: so the suggestion that this is a raccoon is actually in line with what a lot of people have already suggested!
PIG+HUMAN+BIRD??
swine flu anyone? look at the hoofs and human like qualities of the face with swine body. Sick.
Its a pig…seriously. Look at the bone structure of a pig and it matches the skull and fat body.
tapir, said it yesterday. still think its a tapir.
Is there a large garbage barge in the area? ive heard rumors, from friends who worked at landfills in staten island, that there are gigantic rodents that live off of the garbage. They are supposedly huge. Could beastie be a gigantic rat/other rodent?
1. the first picture looks like a dog with Mange that has rotted.
2. Both animals have legs so the news report is off in saying that it is a sea creature
3. The secong one looks like a cow with a mutation
4. If it is some new breed, who cares, it hasen’t harmed anyone
5. It is probibly an animal that has a birth defect and coulden’t survive, and ended up walling in the water, then was washed up on shore hotting and torn up by the surf
cant be a turtle.well not a sea turtle anyway because it doesnt have the flippers
ok,i think there were actually three sightings,(none of which could’ve been of the same animal) the first of course of the red Monty. i dont know what that was, and i highly doubt it, but if any of the theorists are right, then its a raccoon. the secong, was of a blue animal, that is almost certainly a dog(you can see the ears and everything!). the last one, this new one that came out. at first glance i thought it was a pig, but, if you look at it, it looks… stupid. if its a pig, then it looks like the nostrils are in the wrong place and the tail is bent straight instead of curly
hmmmm….. it looks like a dog crossed with a pig….. and a beak??Its wierd…..
It has ”fingers”… and a type of neck….
Canines…..
We are polluting the oceans a LOT so… a mutated animal?
Or an animal no one has ever seen……
Or like someone else said, it could be a prehistoric animal that got frozen in a glacier, but then we would hav found more…. or at least their skeletons…..
I belive this was a science experement gone wrong and some how fell into the ocean
looks like a really dead capybara to me. I mean, same feet, rodent skull and about the right size. The only thing I don’t get is the tail. It’s like a pittbull capybara combo.
Has any university jumped at researching the carcass? Where is the carcass presently?
Just from glancing at the skull, it looks like some sort of carnivore. There seem to be empty tooth sockets where canines would go (in my experience teeth fall out rather early in the decaying process if it’s in water).
Probably a dog, but still a cool find.
Umm, The Skull looks like a Seals , but the body in way more Quadruped than I have ever seen a Seal Carcass , also , A seal Skull has pretty big Foward Canines , very interesting
i think its probably some kind of mutated animal from plum island. it has a beak (i think it does) and it has the body of a pig, it looks pretty big. i cant think of any other animal that this might be.
I think about four possibilities regarding the Montauk-Monster. First I consider the depth of the ocean and the undiscovered wilds all over the world and think this could be an animal that no one has ever seen. Second, I take into consideration the polution dumped into our environment, so this could be a mutation of sorts. Third, with science being the way it is, this could be a creation of scientific experiement that escaped captivity and died or never lived long and the carcass was recklessly disposed. And the final, this is a hoax. Only time and testing with proper documentation will tell. But, I do keep an open mind and I am totally curious aabout the results of the Montauk-Monster.
From a skeptical angle, it can be viewed as many things: a dog, a pig, a sheep, a bear, a sea turtle with the shell taken off. I have also heard some people think of it as a horse, which I know it has no resemblence to at all(I grew up with horses and study them). I, of course, have a hope that it is some type of new species or something crazy, just because I sometimes jump to conclusions. But, it definetly should be sent somewhere to get tested. I also can see how the theory that it could be some pre-historic animal that was frozen in a glacier that melted, what with global warming and all that, would make some sense. Scientits have found stranger things. It could also be some deep-sea creature, that lives in a place inaccesible to humans. But whatever it is, the answer is quite simple: to just get the DNA tested.
I’m leaning towards some kind of canine. The snout has no beak so I’m reluctant to call it a turtle out of his shell, and the nose is too short for a bear. The simple fact is the only way of knowing will be autopsy and some study. Don’t let the naysayers get you down. I am currently heavily involved with a prominent group that dedicated to the search for bigfoot, so I understand the ridicule that you can incure. Keep up the good work, it’s dedicated people like us that do the most for cryptozoology.
Paleontologist Darren Naish has discussed both of these critters based on the available photos and video:

…and…
http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2009/05/montauk_monster_take_2_sigh.php#more ( For the beastie in this post )
He builds a pretty good case for both being rotten Raccoons.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A PIG AND A DOG COW AND SOMETHING WITH FANGS AND MY FRIEND ROLAND SAID IT LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE BCUZ THA OTHER ONE WAS A MALE………………WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE DONT KNOW Y PPLP ARE INTERESTED IN THIS WEIRD ANIMAL THAT HAS SWINE FLU……….RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO THIS VERY DIGUSTING WHO WOULD KEEP THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks like roland
i think its a camodo dragon
It’s man, bear, pig. Half man, half bear, half pig.
The original looked like a wingless; maybe a baby, gryphon. At least that is what it looked like to me.
Coypu rodent (wiki search it) is small-ish in size and is abundant in Louisiana. If one wandered a little east, died, and the current drove it north this is entirely possible. Because there are no size or visual references to guess size, I would also postulate that this could have been a capybara. Southamerican – HUGE. Some people in the States keep them as pets. If one went swimming (they love to swim) and was attacked by a marine predator it could have washed ashore. The only areas of doubt are in the shape of the ears and if what I am seeing are rodent like teeth or tusks from the head of the “creature”. The second find shows patches of mammallian hair/fur. The salinity of ocean water would contribute to hair loss of a decomposing carcass.
hey wat is up my peeps? (sorry just had 2 say that) i hope u find more about that monster-thing. good luck!! <3 =0)
i think that that thing is just FREAKY looking lol, but it looks a deformed seal or somethin like that…
put 2gether da peaces!!! <3 =0)
For all thouse brilliant people grasping for sheep straws i’ll give you credit for originality not every one would notice the skulls kinda like a sheep. seriously though dude come on sheep have cleft feet like hoves. (points at a corny bible sheep picture which seem to have an ample supply of poorly drawn sheep but are observant enough to draw the hoves they have)
I’m all for the bloated dead animal card, i’ll merit the fact that cloneing a DNA altering is pretty advanced now, but still very unlikely if it was a freak science experiment it would have never been so easily leaked from it’s facility unless it could fly which it obviously can not. personaly though I’d like my on bio-engineared cat like a liger half lion and tiger unfortunatly they die off because their DNA is so F$%^ed it can no longer reproduce. beautifull cat though. huge you gotta feed it a fricken horse a day.
So once again dead animal thats snout fur and fingers rubbed off with the friction of the tide and decay
A sea turtle without it’s shell?? I don’t know what they look like without their shell but it’s “nose” kind of resembles some of those big sea turtle’s…with all the polution that’s gone into the world’s waters it could be a mutation of just about anything really. I would really like to see someone with a real scientific background analyze and dissect it to get to the answer. Or is this all part of some elaborate hoax? If it doesn’t get looked at by someone with actual scientific credentials then to me it’s suspicious – especially with the other one going “missing”…
This is clearly one of two things. It’s either a giant hoax like the loch ness monster or some sick scientists genetically mutating animals and/or cross breeding and the new beasts don’t have what it takes to survive or they are so monstrous that they are killing them and throwing them into the sea.
I believe this is a sea turtle that has lost its shell. It’s face has a beak shape like a turtle, and the arms and legs are shaped like fins.
It almost looks like it belongs to the family Talpidae (moles, if you prefer)
but it’s too large to be placed in that family…
anyway, my first thought was it looks like an inflated naked mole rat. lol
Look at the tail, far too large to be a sea turtle or bear.
The skull is a good indicator as well.
I’d say do some research on Order Soricomorpha as a starting point..
~Man, this takes me back to biology class years ago!
Keep us updated on your progress of determining what this is…
this thing could possibly be a mix of dog/pig DNA to creat a genetic cycle of a different speices from a lab on plum island, who knows i am only 12.
OBVIOUSLY AN ENGLISH BULLDOG SOMEONE TOSSED INTO THE SEA
it’s a pig. the hooves are a dead give away.
its a pig-dog fish and its all the militarys fault
Cool blog, like what I read. Will be back to read more. Adding to RSS feeder. Bob
me and my friends were looking at this and we could mix and match animals to get the different features, but something i noticed i thought it looked familure from some fairy tale and sure enough it looks like a griffin, you have the beak the hair along the face, the hands and feet match the tail, but it doesnt have wings however the wings could have been removed, healed, and then burnt, the animals skin reminded us of the way pig skin looks when you cook it
i dont see how you get dog out of that dogs dont have beaks, or teeth like that, or paws,
I’d say, having looked at several animal skull photos, it’s a coyote.
I dont think either of these carcasses are dogs. The first one that washed up was extremely disturbing. you can see short arms, a pig like body and a beaked face? Sounds like someone or some group might have been trying to make a new species? And how the authorities misplaced or stole the first one should worry people.
The carcass that just washed up, looks like an experiment gone more awry. You can see vertebrae more in the neck area, although a missing head or whatever is left is a little creepy.
If I were you, I would personally contact reputable sciencentists in the world of anthropology at Columbia or SUNY, send them pics to start if they want. I wouldnt sell anything to anyone if you are really concerned over this. People, do not rule out Plum Island…We have no idea what our government does behind closed doors!
It’s just a big OPOSSUM! Look at the skeleton pics on wikipedia. No mystery here!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opossum
I hate to rain on everyone’s parade. But it honestly looks like a half eaten seal.
Do a simple google search for images of seals’ anatomy and bone structure. The fins, tail, beak-like mouth all match.
I imagine that with the melting icecaps and changing water currents, some seals might be heading out further into the ocean than normal. Either their bodies can’t handle the different environment and they’re washing ashore. Or they’ve become prey for something larger, but for whatever reason are being regurgitated.
Cheers
It looks to me like a “nibbled on” turtle without his shell. My grandfather used to catch turtles for soup. Yup,Yup, that is what it looks like alright.
Hi
who comes frosted from old ice. looks like a “Achelousaurus” after a fight without horns 
..or a “Agujaceratops !!!!!” think thats the right answer!
i really think is a dinosaurier
search the Dinos, and see the affinity
I GOOGLE A SEA LOIN SKELETON AND TO ME FROM YOUR PICTURE THAT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
It is probably a walrus or seal
What’s really disturbing is that this animal has a mother and a father somewhere. Although genetic anomalies can and do exist in nature, the fact that TWO of these things washed up on the beach in the same local within a relatively short lifespan, that they both are of very similar appearance and NOT aquatic creatures indicates that this is definitely NOT a natural occurrence.
So how were they both discovered near the same locale washed up on beaches so near each other? The writing is on the wall people: THE SO-CALLED PLUM ISLAND DISEASE RESEARCH FACILITY MUST BE INVESTIGATED BY INDEPENDENT COMMISSION. Period. Apparently there could be some very illegal, very immoral and downright terrifying genetic experiments happening somewhere close to where these carcasses were found.
It’s a dead pig, bloated from being in the seawater. It has the same facial and feet structure of a pig. I can’t understand why it’s not obvious to everyone else.
