The Cerro Azul animal is a blend of sloth traits (claws, pelvic bone) and non-typical traits, so it’s most probably not a sloth but a sloth crossbreed. There are substantial differences from a regular sloth:

- Certainly the “pencil” thin arms of the Cerro Azul being ("2." of www.abovetopsecret.com...).




- Rather certainly its nose. Sloths (at least seem to) have dark noses, somehow similar to dogs'. No way such a nose could change its dark color just by dwelling in water for a relatively short time (the original close ups of the Cerro Azul being's head depict no advanced decomposition). Regular sloth:



- Rather certainly its (genuinely?) naked skin (unless someone finds a really convincing explanation for any allegedly lost fur). Drowned bodies usually DON'T lose their hair/fur ("4." of www.abovetopsecret.com...). Photo of a bloated drowned dog, still has its fur:


- Possibly the chest (suspiciously narrow especially in comparison with regular three toed sloths). This VIDEO shows the find has three toes/claws. Three toed sloths do not have the very narrow chest of the two toed sloths. Something doesn't add up.


- Possibly the size. The Cerro Azul animal seems pretty big for a three toed sloth (en.wikipedia.org...: "Three-toed sloths are about the size of a small dog or large cats, with the head and body having a combined length of around 45 centimeters, and the animal having a weight of 3.5-4.5 kg (or between 7 and 10 lbs). Unlike the two-toed sloths, they also have a short (6-7 cm) tail, and they have three clawed toes on all front feet of their limbs.") Why no data about the size, or footage allowing a comparison?


- Finally the said insufficient footage. Why not a single still/video close up of the skull and the chest of the latter carcass - although a whole crew was present?? They did provide numerous skull close ups in this case (hoax): “Alien caught in rat trap? " (for instance: translate.google.com...). Why no more close ups of the Cerro Azul animal especially in view of the public attention it received?

This is exactly what I was leading to say, only I couldn't remember the name of the place the monster was from. They do have a strikingly similar appearance.

Good link. I was looking for a picture of the full body!!

My god, everything about this story is so annoying and unsettling and definitely fishy:

1. There is only ONE picture of it before it's completely picked apart.

Why would you only take one picture of something so strange looking? Were there more pictures taken but only one released by the media? The only thing they've done with it is rotate it and zoom in on certain parts as if to make it seem like they took more pictures.

However, the picture of its half-eaten remains lends credibility to the fact that it's NOT a fabrication.

2. The story doesn't add up with the picture and begs a few questions. Like some of you said already, if they beat it to DEATH with rocks, why is it completely unscathed?

And why would the creature be moving TOWARD the people from a CAVE where it's safe? Animals are normally afraid of humans unless the humans are intruding on their territory. Since the creature "clambered over the rocks", it was far away and the children weren't intruding on anything. There is no logical reason for the animal to run out of a safe area and attack a group of people (where it's clearly outnumbered).

It sounds like the kids made up the story to either 1) justify killing the animal or 2) make it sound sensational. I just don't buy the monster chasing after the innocent kids and the kids retaliating in self-defense.

So far, I think the best explanation would be a mutated sloth, but even that seems a far stretch. :/

What about the kind of split lip? The eyebrows also seem a little off.
