Scientists Yet to Identify "Monster of Montauk"

Scientists have yet to identify what type of animal the "Monster of Montauk" truly is, according to reports on Thursday.

The "Montauk Monster" washed up onshore of a New York beach in Montauk, Long Island. Several onlookers took pictures of it, sending it via e-mail on Wednesday.

According to Newsday, Alanna Navitski, an employee for Los Angeles' Evolutionary Media Group, was behind the media frenzy. Navitski sent the picture of the "monster" to Anna Holmes, the managing editor at Jezebel, who then sent it to Gawker.

Gawker published the photo with the headline "Dead Monster Washes Ashore in Montauk".

"I got this e-mail and opened it from my girlfriend who works at Harris Publications, which has nothing to do with anything," says Navitski as she retells the story. "Anyway, my girlfriend's sister was there with her friends and one of them took the picture. And we were like, 'This is the scariest shit we've ever seen.'"

Navitski discredits the rumor that this picture is apart of a viral marketing scheme. "And so — I'm in marketing — were like, 'Maybe we should send it to a few blogs and see if anyone else is as freaked out as we are,'" said Navitski. "We had no idea that it would turn into this. Now it's literally a beast of its own. But it has nothing to do with any kind of campaign."

Many believe that it is a sea turtle without a shell or the remnants of a government animal-testing facility nearby. However, no scientific specialist has yet to identify what animal or creature this "Montauk Monster" truly is.
