Strange Creature Found?

telemetro.com...

I can not read spanish

So here is a rough google trans:

The discovery of a strange creature in Cerro Azul has aroused controversy among the people, for while some say it may be a being from another planet, others simply believe that is an animal.
Four teenagers aged between 14 and 16 years, met him at the Jet Blue Hill, on Saturday, while having fun in the place.
As recounted one of them, they suddenly saw the creature emerging from a cave located behind the water jet. At her appearance and it began to climb over the rocks to one of them panicked and began to thrash him and throw sticks, getting killed, after which they threw into the water and ran.

Sounds like the kids saw the creature and stoned it to death and ran to tell adults. I think after the pictures were taken, it was thrown into the sea.

Sorry if this turns out to be a hoax or some movie thing.

I wish we could see its legs THANX ANYWAY THREADSTER GOOD 1.

Looks plastic but if it isn't it could be a deformed seal pup.
I guess we'll never know. Dumb kids. Where is this place anyway?

looks freaky....almost looks like a naked sloth in a way...

Of course they threw it in the ocean after they took pics of it, isnt that always how it goes? If it was important enough to photograph, it was important enough to keep around until someone qualified could analyze it!!

I ran the page through babelfish. It looks like it is from Panama. The page is some type of news site for Panama from what I can tell. The rest of the site basically gives news from and about Panama.

Wow. Not anything from my frame of reference!

Afterthought: Actually - it could be a sloth that has been in the water for some time... (I.e. the kids didn't see it alive, nor did they kill it.)



Sadly, we only get to see the mouth and torso. What does the "hands" and "feet" look like? From the bit we can see in the right hand corner it looks like a single digit claw?

And there appear to be some fur on the lower body (see top left).

Interestingly enough they call it a "her"?

They killed her with rocks and sticks - but not a single visible wound?

And why does it look bloated? Was the picture taken some time after its death?

Why throw it in the ocean?

Very intriguing find!

I think the shadows on the rocks cast by the creature are much harsher than shadows elsewhere in the picture. I am voting for fake computer generated picture.

That, my friends, shows a disturbing closeness to the Montauk monsters that have turned up on the beachs of Montauk in the past few years.

A very disturbing closeness. This was in Panama you say? Perhaps those corpses weren't coming from Plum Island after all...

Looks like a harless sloth or rubber pig-man to me. Sloths have similar arms and claws to whats in the photo but sloths have differently shaped and colored faces. So I'm leaning towards hoax, but who knows, maybe a mangy sloth, or undiscovered waterfall dwelling pig man.

The by-line is Panama. I googled "Cerro Azul Panama". It appears to be a mountian area. Kind of a retirement/tourist/eco spot. It looks to be a good distance from the coast. I think that may rule out a seal if I'm looking at the right place.

Interesting. If it's indeed some distance from the ocean, did they drive with the body all the way to the ocean to throw it in the ocean as they claim?

Sounds like there are a couple of holes in their story.

If it's real, I would put a good deal of money on it being a sloth.

Arm structure and facial features remind me of a sloth. I can't think of anything else it would be.

Hmmm - the translation in the OP and the one I did with babelfish gave the translation just as they threw it "in the water". It didn't specify the ocean. From google maps it looks like there are some lakes in the area.

Google Maps - cerro azul panama

This is from the same area in.

Looks like a baby sheep.

Hmmm...it may very well be a sloth. I found some pics taken in the same area. Think about this without hair....

Panama Sloths

The greater mystery..

Who shaved it?
