New 'Montauk Monster' Crawls Out Of Cave In Panama, Freaks Everyone Out

Where: Panama

Last summer, the world was fascinated by the mysterious corpse of the Montauk Monster, a scraggly-looking creature whose body washed up on the shores of Montauk, Long Island. it was unidentifiable as any certain species, but boy did it put Montauk back on the map.

This summer had almost ended without such a grisly discovery, until some children playing outside of Panama City came upon an odd, hairless creature crawling out from a cave. As the ugly thing crawled towards them, they "feared for their safety" and beat it to death with "sticks." They then returned shortly after to take pictures of the (now dead) creature, which of course hit the internet like gangbusters. Kids are so cruel these days, jeez.

Now the question is if Panama City, or Panama in general will become the new hotspot for cryptozoologists looking to find and famously identify this thing. It is thought, from the presence of the hooked claw in the photo, that it's just a bald sloth, but we really like the idea of discovering a whole new creature to go see at the zoo. Anyone for a little safari trip to Panama?
