That's really weird... looks like E.T. didn't make it back home. :confuse3:

Looks like a sloth....just rotated the piccie to get a better view. May have lost all its hair for some reason.

Could be anything, but probably a hoax.

Reminds me of a similar thing that happened last year. Some bizarre looking creature washed up on a beach which made international headlines.

It turned out it was a hoax. A ploy set up by a marketing company or some such to advertise something or other.

It does indeed redemble a sloth. Could be a new species or suffering some ailment. Guess we'll never know as a bunch of ignorant a**holes killed it rather than finding someone smarter to deal with it.

[dpastern]

That is, unfortunately, the human way. What we do not understand, with mock, ridicule, torment and most times, kill.

Looks like he waited too long for Elliott to return on his bike!

If it on the Nine MSN site, then it's probably 5-year-old US college hoax. Nine MSN aren't known for their quality stories.
