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:

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.

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

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