CERRO AZUL, Panama -- It looks a bit like a small, portly alien from the movie "E.T." or Gollum's long-lost cousin, but officials haven't the slightest idea what a creature found just east of Panama City really is.
The creature was first found by four teenagers playing near a creek in the community of Cerro Azul.
According to a local TV station, Telemetro, the teenagers spotted the creature crawling out from a cave. They said it started moving toward them. Fearing for their safety, they pelted the beast with sticks and rocks.
After the barrage killed the creature, the teenagers tossed its lifeless body into the water. But they later returned to take pictures of their strange find.
Zoologists in Panama said they're not sure what the creature is, but said it resembles a dead fetus.
As soon as video of the monstrous creature was released, speculations began swirling.

Cue the banjo music...
It was a tree sloth but they didn’t kill it. Looks like its been in the water for a while.

yep...one look at the head pretty much confirms that.
That and the claws. (There was a thread last night)
If there is life on other planets, do you wonder why they don’t drop in for a chat?
Tree sloth = environmentalist
Our Firewall blocked the video, but the picture of it looks pretty creepy.
Sounds more like the kids intentionally killed something that meant them no harm. They had time to gather sticks and rocks to beat it to death but they didn’t have time to run if they were truly afraid.
They may already have. Dennis Rodman, Nancy Pelosi, Obie...
What does this thread have to do with James Carville.
Nah, just kidding. That thing (Golem) is much cuter than Carville.
Naw, they were just lying. From the swollen abdomen and facial features, you can tell that thing has been dead for some time. The kids just thought they’d make up a cool story and get lots of attention; it worked beyond their wildest dreams, apparently.

No. Pelosi didn't come from above. Pelosi crawled up from below.
