Alleged Montauk Monster Washes up on New York Beach

A bloated, hairless creature washed up on New York’s coast, sparking speculation that it may be the alleged ‘Montauk Monster.’

The unidentified animal washed up on the North Fork on Long Island May 5. A couple found the animal and contacted Nicky Papers, who runs a Web site dedicated to the creature. “The beast smelled like a mix of low-tide and rotten garbage. It really smelled horrific. I couldn’t help but take numerous pictures and video clips,” Papers wrote on his Web site, Montauk-Monster.com.

Papers says the carcass is being kept in a cooler of ice. Some speculate that the animal may be linked to the nearby Plum Island Animal Disease Center; and if that’s the case, Papers wants to sell the animal to an independent lab.

“If this is a genetic mishap from Plum Island, we’d like to sell the remains to an independent lab for study,” he wrote. “I haven't ruled out biological warfare on this yet. A diseased carcass floating in waterways around Long Island could be infecting the water.”

Last July, a similar situation arose near Montauk, New York after a strange animal washed up on a beach. Scientists later identified the animal as a dog, which may have fallen off a family boat. It’s nose was apparently bitten off by a snapping turtle.
