you guys that think its a turtle have obviously never seen a turtle in real life, much less cleaned and eaten one.
It's not a turtle. Turtles don't have teethe and a turtle does not look like that without the shell.
Whatever it has been skinned, you can still see see some fur on its neck as well as its pelt rolled inside out on its leg where it has been skinned.
Tail is too long for a turtle. Legs are too long and its not wide enough.
The beak is what throws me off and makes me think this is a photoshop.Comment

http://courses.science.fau.edu/~jwyneken/sta/ ---> skull anatomy -->
search for the premaxilla & maxilla bone structures, compare with the picture. the premaxilla bone is the pointed nosebone of the turtle. then scroll lower down until you hit the section on the rhampothecal structure. the rhamphtheci is the actual beak, like you have on a bird, see how they go on about the lower rhamphotheci as being serrated in certain species of sea turlte. compare the diagram to the picture... ..
http://courses.science.fau.edu/~jwyneken/sta/ ---> skelatal anatomy --> flip through the skeletal diagrams, and check out the bone structure of the front and rear flippers, compare. also look at the tail bone in the skeletal diagrams.
it's been dead for a while, and probably floated a long ways in the ocean to make it that far, but i'm still riding with sea turtle on this one....Last edited by Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life; 07-31-2008, 01:23 PM.Comment

Unquestionably a sea turtle. The tail looks longer because the shell normally covers way more of its ass end.
Male Sea turtle.
2. Adult males have longer, thicker tails, because the male reproductive organ is housed in the base of the tail. In males, the tail may extend beyond the hind flippers.
3. On some species, the claws on the foreflippers of males are elongated and curved, which may help in grasping the females' shells during mating.Comment

See, I have seen dead turtles before... I guess without a shell, the basic body shape is pretty much right, though I would expect to see gashes or areas ripped away where the shell came off. It's really the skin that doesn't seem right. Dead turtle skin doesn't really look like that in my lifetime of experience exploring lakes, rivers, ponds, etc. I guess maybe the saltwater would have done something weird but I just can't see that as a turtle.gone. long gone.

Look, people, it's obviously an infant elephant that was being transported via cargo ship to the Central Park Zoo. This video article shows Mayor Bloomberg specifically citing a financial package for the Central Park Zoo that includes, and he quotes, "a baby elephant" to be purchased and added to their existing lineup of animals.

those are not teeth
its part of his "beak"
just because that particular turtle in the diagram has a serrated beak does not mean it has teethe
look how many serrations your pic from the pdf you just googled has. then look at what washed up (see the difference?)
it's a photoshopComment

A turtle born (would be hatched, actually) without a shell wouldn't last long. There's no way it would have reached that size. They are hatched on the beach and walk down to the ocean. Tons of them get eaten before they make it, one without a shell wouldn't stand a chance.gone. long gone.

I see turtles all the time fishing in the Atlantic. I have accidentally caught and released them. I have eaten fresh water as well as Gopher land turtles and have cleaned them. There is no way to remove a turtle shell clean like that. It's not how it works.
Here is a dead Sea Turtle washed up on the beach that I took a picture of. See the difference? That thing on the beach is a photo shop!

Sticky, wana put your money where your mouth is?
If you are so sure that is a turtle, let's bet. I can take the photochopped picture right over to the marine institute 5 mins from my house or we can just wait and see what the news sources say.Last edited by BV; 07-31-2008, 03:34 PM.Comment

BV, what you showed is a turtle rotting to the point where you can see its skeleton. That thing that above is a turtle without the shell and hard skin but still intact. I bet if they left it there longer it would look like your pic. A skeleton but without the shell.Comment

when did gfy become marine detectives lol .. ill believe BV he's the only one to shed some real light about the picComment

I would have taken dozens of pixs and carted it home and made a million bucks on Ebay and I am convinced it is a turtle who died and after it decomposed enough it's shell fell apart and the turtle washed up on shore and started to rot even more.Comment

Dude, you posted the pics for comparison and you STILL think it's a turtle? LOL... how fucking ridiculous... doesn't even need explanation.
The body on the "monster" is NOTHING like a fucking turtle... open your damn eyes... it has legs and feet like a goddamn dog, not big flappers like a sea turtle...Comment

Compare the front "arms," they don't even bend the same way at the joint!!!
lmao...Comment

Here is the anwser
This is an actual monster, some sort of rodent-like creature with a dinosaur beak. A tipster says that there is "a government animal testing facility very close by in Long Island," but unless the government is trying to design horrible Montauk monsters that will eat IEDs and fart fire at bad Iraqis, we're not sure why they would create such an unthinkable beast. Our guess is that it's viral marketing for something. Ali Lohan's new album perhaps.

gopher turtle yes it is the best! delicious!
and yes this is about 1980'ish
I was in highschool and packed fern after school along with a few older black dudes.
They had a wooden pole with a long flexible steel rod about 3/8 ths inch in diameter and they would bend a hook in the end about 2 inches.
They then would feed the rod down in the gopher hole and hook him under the shell. Lots of rattlesnakes in those holes also. (they live together)
softshell and alligator turtle is also good.
had it in a stew and battered and deep fried cooked by older country black mommas
they are endangered now, but not from people hunting them but from man in general inhabiting their spaceComment

did you see that documentary too?
it was interesting how much higher the tortoises shells rose and how much longer their necks were on the one island where all the vegetation they ate was up higher
and a few miles away where the island had no trees their necks and shells were shaped different
mother nature is amazingComment
