I suspect the kids are lying and it was already dead.

Again, very likely a partially hairless dead sloth. You can see hair on the lower body in some shots.

So after reading this, and then doing a few google searches I ended up on wikipedia looking over a long list of reported "criptids". I think my favorite is Trunko. I mean, how can you beat a description like this:

Quote:
Some people who have never been identified were reported to have described the animal as possessing snowy-white fur, an elephantine trunk, a lobster-like tail, and a carcass devoid of blood.
And it was first spotted battling two killer whales to boot. How is that not awesome?

There are a lot of species here on Earth that we still haven't discovered.

Yes, indeed. Except that most of them are insects =)

No, we find all kinds of stuff all the time. Like here for example a whole new ecosystem: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0909124129.htm
There are still a lot of unexplored places here on Earth.

Well... "unexplored" by Westerners with notebooks anyway... ;)

Or wait for someone like Apple to make an idiotproof version of it. :p
