That’s incredible. After looking at this, in my own personal opinion, I think it’s some kind of dog. The only reason that I say that, is because it had that cloth looking bracelet piece on it’s wrist. If someone did fake this, they sure did a pretty good job. My official guess would be that it was a dog though. Fantastic site, by the way!

Photo 1, the most frequently used photo by the media, shows it with a head too small for it's body and a small lower jaw. Also, it clearly has a beak. The 2nd photo looks like a boiled dog. It has a large lower jaw and a weird nose, but it doesn't look like a beak. It's head is much larger and more in proportion with the body, than in photo 1, and it's teeth are less prominent. the coloring on both animals is different as well. I see a conspiracy here. Someone took away the mutant and then took a photo of a dog to throw people off the track of what is really going on. But what is going on?

That collar of furlike substance around its neck belies this, though, and turtles don't have carnassial teeth like that. The "beak": I think that's a septum, it just looks like a beak from the angle in the picture. Eh, well. If it's viral marketing, no skin off my nose.

Drowned animals in that advanced state of decomposition can look even more bizarre. It's basic animal anatomy, folks. Do some research on the internet, or hang around a beach for the summer. The "beak" is the front part of the racoon's snout minus the actual nose. The bloated carcass is very typical of a drowned mammal. You guys wouldn't want to see what happens when that splits open.

First, why do ads have sounds? The smiley faces at the top started screaming "HELLO?!?!" when my mouse accidentally passed over it. And then I made the mistake of moving my mouse again, which hovered me over one of six fake ad links, which played an irrelevant and unwanted video. Seriously, it detracts from any potential legitimacy this blog might have had. And it's enough for me to never want to come back here. There are better ways to advertise without pissing off your potential readers. Piss us off, and not even the most annoying ads will get you revenue.
