Montauk Monster II Conspiracy Theories! Did the Montauk Monster Kill JFK?
One of my favorite little things people do on these reports is they never give you any scale. The original press reports about the animal said it was 3 feet long. That’s about how big a raccoon is. This particular raccoon was fatter than the original one, and its skin was much more decomposed. The original animal was most likely a juvenile. In August, young raccoons begin to disperse from their natal territories, and many of them die within their first year of life.
This new decomposing raccoon is fat. In the winter months raccoons put on the pounds to keep warm and to have reserves in case of hard times. However, a raccoon living in the region where this beast was found would never experience hard times. It would have plenty of easy to access food all the time. We humans leave more than enough things for raccoons to eat, and some people even feed them, which is a very good way to create a colony of nasty nuisance raccoons. Keep in mind that a raccoon can kill a small dog or cat, and they are more than capable of seriously injuring people or larger dogs. And they are a vector for rabies, which could easily reach epidemic proportions again in New York State.
Now, if you think that either of these animals are anything more than decomposing raccoons, I’m sorry, you’re just wrong.
This animal most likely doesn’t have anything to do with the swine flu, biological warfare, or other government conspiracies. The government might be interested in controlling raccoon numbers. After all, I don’t think there are too many people on Long Island with coonhounds.
I mean we all love conspiracy theories, and nobody trusts the US government.
In doing some research on the Montauk Monster, some “naturalist” said that the original couldn’t a raccoon. The legs were too long.
That’s nonsense. Raccoons have rather long legs– especially young ones. They can easily outrun a person or even a hard-running coonhound. Further, North American raccoons get rather shaggy, and this long hair covers up their physique. Juveniles that haven’t spent the winter gorging on garbage and those dear poor country ‘coons that have to hunt for their own food have much lighter frames.
However, if you look at the Second Montauk Monster, you can see that this is definitely a fat raccoon. The descripting of the digits on its front paws are exactly we would expect from a raccoon. Raccoons have “fingers.” In fact, I can take to some mud puddles right now that have what look like baby hand prints with long claws on them. Those are the tracks of a raccoon’s front paws. The raccoons use those front paws to catch things like tad poles, frogs, and crayfish. Their digits are rather sensitive and can feel the prey
I can’t believe that so many “experts” can’t figure this out.
Here’s the photo of the original second animal. It is only 3 feet long, and it has a tail.
The skull is really what gives it away. Look at the dentition. The first three top and bottom premolars are exactly the same as this raccoon skull.
Now, dogs have carnassial teeth and premolars that are the same shape, but they are spaced rather differently. And in a dog like a boxer, the carnassials and premolars are don’t line up at all. That’s why neither Montauk Monster was a brachycephalic dog. A brachycephalic dog will have very unusual spacing with its teeth, not near perfect alignment. The spposed misaligned jaw in the first monster does not correspond with a boxer or bulldog’s jaw structure. Typically, the lower jaw juts too far foward in these dogs. When dogs have the upper jaw jutting forward it is usually in doliocephalic breed, like a greyhound, rough collie, or a borzoi.
It is also probably not a cat. The carnassials of a cat are much more robust than that of any dog or raccoon. Even a small cat has relatively large carnassials.
To me, the skull is the dead diagnostic feature that says this animal, like the last one was nothing more than a decomposing raccoon.
Whether it has anything to do with the “swine flu”– well, I think the Montauk Monster probably had more to do with the JFK assassination than the swine flu.
