A report of a second Montauk Monster washing up on a Southold beach has conjured memories of the strange finding on the East End last summer. (www.montauk-monster.com / May 13, 2009)

Just in time for summer, the Island's latest fad-slash-biological freak show is back in all of its bloated, pallid glory.

Reports of a Montauk Monster washing up on a Southold beach are circulating after the www.montauk-monster.com blog posted pictures and video on Sunday of what looks like a beaked, four-legged animal's carcass lying in sand.

Papers wrote he had been alerted by a couple who have since put the carcass on ice at an undisclosed Southold location.

The tale of the original Montauk Monster gripped the East End last summer as international attention seized upon the mysterious animal body that purportedly washed up on a local beach.

As the tale goes, three Montauk friends found the corpse last July on Ditch Plains Beach and snapped a picture of it.

Back then, rumors centered on stories about a dumped carcass from Plum Island's testing labs.

Some claimed there could be a shady back story: Perhaps the creature was planted to promote a movie?

Now, according to the montauk-monster.com blog, the latest Montauk Monster has been updated and has acquired new baggage suitable for 2009.

"I've thought about the possibilities that this carcass may be carrying H1N1 influenza (The Swine Flu)," Papers writes.

He did not respond immediately to an e-mail request for comment Wednesday morning.

Lol this is too funny.

But the only thing interesting is, how did the animal get to look like this? There has been no explanation to the one last year right?

The one last year actually looked as if the legs were bound with rope. Almost as if some owner got "tired" of their pet and murdered it - it's more common then you would think.

To me it looks like a pig that is partially decomposed and water logged. I think people are just looking for things to justify the crazy stories in the area. Call me cynical, call me a douche, it is a pig or I will eat leita's shorts.

I can certainly see where the pig idea comes in. Foot structure as well as the ears seem to point towards that. Regardless, I certainly don't believe it's a "Monster" in any way. Just a badly decomposed animal. Well known species can easily be disguised by some seaweed and decomposition.

Take this for example, I believe it was in Russia if I am not mistaken.

Looks like an alligator crocodile thing. It's actually a beluga whale.
