I'm going with hairless sloth.

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

Wow, poor thing.. (if it's a sloth)

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

Right. If it's an invading alien, it's more like "Ha! Take that, Martian!"

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

EXACTLY.

Cause if it was an alien, that pitiful expression can be interpreted as an evil last smile in their culture..

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

Looks like a Baby dino...

I do feel bad for our species that the first thing we do on encountering something we don't understand is beat it to death.

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

Looks like a shaved/albino/mutated sloth to me, you can even see the big claws on the big picture in the first link...
Probably a hoax...

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

I agree. Pictures then run. No need to kill it.

If it was a sloth then I can't imagine them having to run - those guys are sloooow.

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

Very sad... Looks like a sloth to me

Ya know, I wonder about this. There's been lots of stuff like this come up lately in the news, and a lot of it has gone viral. It's been suggested that some director somewhere is creating a lot of viral hype for his movie by suckering the sensationalist press into getting everyone worked up just prior to announcing his flick. It'd be funny if that's what it turned out to be.

"Revenge of the shaved sloth" in theaters starting november 2nd

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

Unlucky day for ET...

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

There will be no phoning home today...

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

I don't own a gun, but I might throw a rock if that thing waddled in my direction. It's freaking odd :confused:


More than likely I would run my a55 off

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

In this modern day and age, where video cameras exist on cell phones, it's freakin' "amazing" that no one bothered to shoot video of this "creature". ;)

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

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.

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

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:

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.

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

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

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

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.

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

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

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

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

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

Not only. There are places where no man has gone before. :D

Re: What the $%#^!&? is this creature???
 

I for one welcome our hairless sloth overlords :)
