• a raccoon (the legs are too long in proportion to the body);
• a sea turtle (sea turtles do not have teeth);
• a rodent (rodents have two big teeth in front of their mouths).

Wise also said that the shape of the weird creature’s body looked like a dog or another canine. However, its prominent eye ridges and the feet do not match, the scientist said. He also said that the feet and the face look ovine, but sheep do not have sharp teeth.

Many people said that the photograph was a fake Adobe PhotoShop(ed) picture.

However, there were a number of witnesses who confirmed the presence of the strange creature on the Montauk beach.

New York Magazine published an interview with a 22-year-old woman, who personally saw the monster. The woman said that she was walking along the beach when she saw a crowd of people looking at something on the sand.

Unfortunately, the Long Island find will not result in another sensational discovery. The corpse of the animal vanished and can no longer be available to scientists. The Montauk Monster will most likely go down in history like Nessie and Big Foot did.

Biologists need to have the body of an unknown animal to make the statement of fact. If the body disappears, skepticism remains the only reasonable reaction.
