The Montauk Monster is a creature with a "dinosaur beak" which allegedly washed ashore dead in Ditch Plains, near Montauk, New York in late July 2008. Speculation in published reports included theories that the Montauk Monster may be a turtle without its shell—even though the shell of a turtle cannot be removed without damaging the turtle—a dog, a raccoon, or perhaps a science experiment from the nearby government animal testing facility, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. The "monster" may also be a decomposed pig carcass. The creature's appearance may have been altered through immersion in water for a extended period before coming to rest on the shore, making it difficult to identify.
