Posted on 17. Sep, 2009 by admin in Offbeat, Science
Shocking photographs of certain creatures that has washed on the shoreline of Panama, the crature looks like a Sloth, a hairless sloth if I’m not mistaken.
What is Sloth?
The living sloths comprise six species of medium-sized mammals belonging to the families Megalonychidae and Bradypodidae, part of the order Pilosa. Wiki.
The photos was published this week Telemetro, a Panama news media. Here’s a rough translation made by Cryptomundo correspondents, because the news was written in Spanish…
“The finding of a strange Blue Hill creature has awaked controversial among the population, because while some assert that it is a being of another planet, others think simply that it is an animal. Four adolescents between 14 and 16 years of age, discovered it in the Blue Hill Spurt, this past Saturday [September 12, 2009], while they were amusing themselves in the area. According to what they related, one of them suddenly saw the creature leave a cave located behind the water spurt. When it saw their appearance, it began to climb on rocks towards them; one [of the teens] was scared, so he began to stone it and to throw sticks at it, causing it to be killed; then they threw it into the water and they fled.”
The creature on the pictures looks like another mundane animal washed ashore, but what species of animal could it be?
eso parece un peresoso
