I agree with Nikki, I am not qualified to say what it is but it does look like a tapir skeleton.

I’m not a scientist but the structure does seem to resemble a taper/pig with claws. I must also say that the jaws are sharp and point to more of a predator than prey. just a thought.

I’m not a wildlife rehabber, but I,ve trapped dozens of raccoons, and the original Montauk monster is not a raccoon. It’s way too big (though bloated) but the head shape is all wrong. Raccoon are built almost like a cat/small dog. Their faces and jaws are small. This looks more like a dog to me, but for sure not a raccoon or possum.

My name is Joseph Soto I live in P.R. Aguadilla I have looked closely at the picture and lets go back to greek mythology we have a 4 legged animal with a beak in the front its very close to a description of a Gryphon an animal considered to be a myth may very well prove to be real. Now im not a scientist im just giving my opinion. If you do try to find one of these creatures dont go empty handed we dont know how they will react in contact with humans be very careful. maybe they will run from you or try and kill you. Im not trying to scare you just be careful.

I’m also a former rehabber of wildife, and before I saw the episode in stranger than nature, I thought maybe the raccoon theory was right. But looking at all the different angles, I to must say this is NOT a raccoon or oppossom body. matter if fact, if you look up some pictures on The net, there is a huge differance in the skulls. and, why would the upper teeth be missing, when lowers are fully intake, and much longer than uppers? however, a couple of the pictures here do look like. seals, otters, and a badger? hmmmm possible attempts at making new monsters? who knows? I cant wait until someone is bold enough to snag some DNA off of one of these beaked looking creatures like the original montauk monster instead of just photos. until then, we wait.
