I think that the chances of this so called "monster" being a new species are very low, it's much more likely it to be a simple known species with some kind of malformation.

Another picture of some dead, decayed animal we're supposed to think is a new species? :rolleyes: It's been dragged, dead, from the water, and they're surprised it isn't recognizable, or think all those patches of missing fur were always bald like that?
