So what is it? Real monster or publicity stunt?

It must be real... I'm afraid, very afraid. quivering in my shoes

[cindy]

Totally gross... whatever it might or might not be.

[webfoo]

I think its a half pig half 'koon.

[Marcia]

IMHO it's a turtle

[eelixduppy]

>> turtle

That's what I thought, too, when I first saw it. If it's not, I'd say it's a close relative.

A homeless turtle, he's lost his roof

Looks like a photoshopped picture to me. Why does it have a cloth band around one "arm" and one index finger extended in the universal rude greeting.

If it is a turtle how did it get out of it's shell and why didn't a shark or something similar eat it when it was unprotected.

Hoax.
