A creature found in Panama, equivalent of the Montauk Monster was reportedly beaten to death by teenagers. The strange creature has been suggested to be a sloth that somehow lost its hair; the hairless creature has a rubbery looking body as well as a large hooked claw.
According to reports in Panama, the teenagers spotted the creature crawling out of a cave while playing in the town of Cerro Azul north of Panama City.
Fearing for the safety as it moved towards them, the youths claim they attacked the beast with sticks before throwing its lifeless body into a pool of water.
They returned later to take pictures of the corpse which were then posted on the website of the Central American country's Telemetro television station.
Check out the photos for yourself and decide if it really is a cryptozoological find or merely a hoax.

Basically three scumbag kids kill a harmless sloth. They are scum! What goes around comes around.

you're an idiot, it's so typical humans that if they fear something they'll kill it, patethic.

I agree looks like a sloth...we had a racoon body wash down our creek after a storm...most of it's hair was gone and it looked "weird" too...the tail still had fur and that gave it away. The kids probably found the body and made up the story..

so i guess some of you would just pet or feed it a snack. get real. If that thing is coming for you, it is either fight or flight.

That is just Cold Blooded beat that thing like that. IF Elliot had beaten E.T. like that where would be today. They should have fed it Reeses Peices and waited for it to becoem freindly that's what Elliot did. Kid's these day's are dumb.

"Fortunately" this story was very likeky a hoax as some news website have updated their page on the subject observers.france24.com/fr/content/20090921-strange-unidentified-creature-found-panama, as speculated the kids just found a dead decomposing sloth and basicaly said themselfs, hey let's turn it into an alien story, therefore there was no killing, all the comments you read with people asking for the punishement or even the death of those kids are very sadenning... let's Hope they didn't really mean it.

Thank you lorharat for being a reasonable, thoughtful person who doesn't immediately take the most reactionary stance and say that we need to beat kids before all the details of a story are in. I also read it suggested that the whole "it was coming for us" angle was just part of the tall tale. It would be sad IF the kids had beat an animal to death that "was coming for them," - and sloths are SO fast you know, so they wouldn't have had a choice. But people really need to examine their thought process before demanding someone get beaten. This whole reactionary and online bad etiquette thing starts with people checking themselves!

Many people are of the opinion that this is a sloth sans hair. I, however, know the real identity of this odd creature. It is the product of mating of one Vermin French and one of his cousins from a small shithole town in new hampster.
