Default Montauk Monster - What is it?

Here's the video link - http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/0...auk.monster.cnn



Some people think it's a turtle without a shell...

I think the animal disease testing facility that's nearby may have some explaining to do...

No really...its a dog. It is not a monster. Its a dead, bloated dog that was probably ditched overboard in the water.

It's not a dog, it's a racoon.

Look at the forelegs - clearly it's been skinned and dumped (note the clean cut and the pulled pelt). Also note the fingers on the forelegs - those aren't remotely close to dog paws. A raccoon has long, thin fingers for dexterity.
