The "Montauk Monster" - Identified!

I first caught news of the "Montauk Monster" via Gawker last Tuesday.


Along with many others, I've been biting my lips in anticipation - just what the hell is this thing? (And why do we want to know so badly?)

Finding out is a matter of patience, and counting on the omniscience of the internet. I told my partner, "It's probably not a hoax, and eventually a savvy biologist will surface and tell us exactly what this thing is and what happened to it."

That biologist is Darren Naish of Tetrapod Zoology.

He's written an excellent article with new photographs, skull comparisons and decayed details photoshopped in.

Check him out to discover the true identify of the Montauk Monster!

It is the most strange thing that I have ever seen. It is even weirder than deep sea animals

I was in the first grade of the school when I watched the news about "Montauk Monster" , I felt afraid because I lived just 2 km from this beach!!
