New 'Montauk Monster' Likely Same Species as Old One

It's hard to dispute some family resemblances, even after death. The new Montauk Monster, found on a Southold, N.Y., beach earlier this month, probably is closely related to last year's edition, and was likely a stealthy, intelligent, night-ranging creature that may roam alarmingly close to human settlements. The flesh of the new monster's skull has mostly rotted off, but the beak-like snout, wide back teeth and large eye sockets indicate that it may be of the same species as the original monster, which startled beachgoers in the chic resort town of Montauk, N.Y., last summer.
Then, as now, speculation was rampant that the strange beast was a the product of genetic experimenting on Plum Island, a government biological-research facility located off Long Island's North Fork, where this year's animal was found. The still photo of the new creature released by Montauk-Monster.com shows a strange aquiline double-rowed skull, almost like that of a rodent. But the accompanying video footage features definite canine features, even if the larger cutting teeth appear to have fallen out.

I’m sure there’s a scientific explanation for this creature, like it’s a decomposing pig, dog or something else. BUT if I knew these were roaming around a beach near me, I’d probably stay just stay indoors.
... gives me the heeby jeebies...

I photographed this two nights ago as I was taking our garbage out, it scared the crap out of me, by the time the police got there it was gone. I'm still having nightmares over it.
