Monster just appeared in America?

Last week, while skiing in the Pacific coast area of ​​San Diego, a 19-year-old tourist suddenly found a monster looking very ferocious.

The photos show the unidentified animal's body part longer than 60cm. It has a mohawk 'head' style (crest style) with bleached yellow fur, sunburned skin and a pair of extremely fierce fangs, much larger than the rest of the teeth. Body shape is like a pig, the abdomen is quite fat.

'I'm from Massachusetts and I've never seen an animal like this before,' said the guest.

The image of the strange animal (named San Diego Demonoid ) immediately became a feverish topic on websites with a debate between 3 different streams of opinions. While some believe it to be the corpse of the Chupacabra - the legendary vampire - many others claim it to be 'Montauk monster' - animals also have fangs and nearly hairless bodies, times first drifted to the Montauk coast, New York in 2008 caused a stir. The other group said that in fact, the 'Montauk monster' turned out to be just an ordinary American panda.

However, scientists later corrected that it was most likely the Virginia Opossum (also known as the Virginia marsupial, Virginia - the mammal of the Phalangeridae family).

'Virginia Opossum is a mammal with a long muzzle-like muzzle, many small front teeth, sharp jaws, and especially long fangs , ' said paleontologist Darren Naish. from the University of Southampton.

'When I looked at the picture, I immediately imagined the Virginia Opossum. Partly because I have studied this animal skull and are quite familiar with its big fangs and incisors. They are similar to other mammals, the fur usually peels off after the body stays under water for a while and decomposes. In fact, Virginia Opossum is a popular mammal in California , "said Darren Naish.

'It is not surprising that people cannot identify this decayed identity because the mammalian body is often covered with hair. However, we are still not sure about the identity of Diego San Demonoid. And so it's still a temporary mystery , 'added Darren Naish.
