Hi,
This story is now going around the world:
The discovery of a strange creature in Cerro Azul has aroused controversy among the people, for while some say it may be a being from another planet, others simply believe that is an animal.
Four teenagers aged between 14 and 16 years, met him at the Jet Blue Hill, on Saturday, while having fun in the place.
According to one of them told the program code 4, they suddenly saw the creature emerging from a cave located behind the water jet. At her appearance and it began to climb over the rocks to one of them panicked and began to thrash him and throw sticks, getting killed, after which they threw into the water and ran.

Looks like a deformed Sloth :o
this is not sloth.
sloths have several distinct features that are simply not present in this creature.
for instance, sloths have a protruding nose, much like primates.
this animal in the photos here more resembles a shellless turtle than a hairless sloth.
My first impression went for the sloth as well, and then the next to an albino shell-less turtle. A turtle expert should be involved in the investigation.
Of course, not the least bit of DNA was recovered at the scene? That's how it usually goes.
Poor creature. Teens having fun.
Hmm,
this sloth streches his tongue out,
but it looks different than the Panama creature:

Definetly a sloth with no hair! The mystery.....wheres the hair ;D
mutated sloth, you can clearly see one of its large claws on 'its' right front leg.
possibly a genetic throw back that had a weak immune system and died.
sometimes animals are born with a disease that produces hairlessness in animals, it a rare disease.
Jerry :)
Perhaps it just discovered shaving, then cut itself and bled to death ;D
New video of the creature:

I wonder, why they don´t show it better in the video ?
So, is it just a dead sloth ?

Tree sloths are native to that part of the world.
But:1) The teenagers said it wasn't in a tree? Why not? Was it like a prehistoric giant ground sloth on a very small scale?
2) It was killed recently? It naturally has no fur? And it's albino? It's native to caves for many generations? Was the cave explored for more live or fossil animals?
3) Tree sloths have curved claws to hang upside down in trees. This animal's claws are fairly straight. Prehistoric giant sloths could use their claws as weapons against saber-tooth cats and bears. Same shape of claws as this animal's.
4) The head is so strange, it can't be fiction. Normal sloths don't look like that.
What is it? A
way mutated sloth with a common ancestor that was a sloth, maybe. Otherwise, I never saw anything like it.
Accurate DNA analysis should settle the question.

I wonder why they have removed that video so quickly ?... Check that link again and you will see what I mean !
"This video has been removed due to terms of use violation. "
Animal cruelty perhaps? Wasn't the report that the youngsters killed the poor creature by throwing rocks at it? I could be wrong.
Dna tests should determine what it is and kids have always been cruel to certain creatures.Back in the early sixties I recall a group of kids throwing rocks at a snapping turtle in a creek.Triffid

At least I saw the video in its entirety before it was deleted. If I didn't know better, I'd call it a conspiracy. That critter wasn't
anything normal compared to ordinary sloths.

Well. what was strange was that the story changed so much... First they told that the alien came from a cave and attacked the kids...THEN it was told that the alien came from the water and attacked a leg of one kid.... Hmmmm probably a few kids joking with a dead sloth with whom they removed its fur and made it look this way very alien like... I always wonder with these kind of stories why there are no better pictures and videos to document it sufficiently...cause they wanna hide the truth...

Yeah...sounds like disinformation to me. Not surprising.

That would take a lot of time and effort to do, yes? A professional taxidermist might be able to pull off such a stunt?

That crossed my mind. There are several books in American, and also,
Ripley's Believe it or Not!, which expound upon these kinds of happenings. Charles Fort in England was famous for this kind of thing.
Hide the truth? Possibly. Someone didn't want the thing preserved and have its DNA analyzed, right?

Could be the reason, thanks for pointing that out ;)

I don't know, I never got to see the video that Stefan posted... Anyone got a duplicate ? ;D

Sorry, I hadn't looked. The video and pictures were a worldwide hit, right?
Try this:

NOTE:Keep in mind: I'm on a borrowed computer with a software blocking 'Net Nannie' and this video may or may not last.
(Okay, it loaded and ran on this computer. 57-second commercial network news clip. Hope it works for you.)
Re-edit:
The hind claws are curved reasonably normal for a tree sloth, but the rest of the animal is unknown to me.
--Lee
Thanks for the linkage Lee ;)
That thing is definitely Sloth-like. I have a strong feeling that it's a mutated Sloth, probably an escaped lab experiment, like a cloning experiment gone-wrong or something !

Well, maybe: It's highly mutated, if it's actually a sloth.
Or, maybe not? Why would such a strange animal be way out in the jungle somewhere? Was it near a large town? Are there Gov't facilities nearby to do the research? Did they let it go on purpose to scare people? Conspiracy is a possibility.
--Lee
Mammals feed their young with milk.This thing looked like it had teats(two of them).So I would say its some sort of mammal just by looking at the picture. It doesn't look like anything that lays eggs to me, reptiles come to mind,then birds.triffid
Just a thought...
Did someone actually recover a body and turn it in? If not, why? The news story posted earlier in the thread only states that a university person couldn't identify it, probably referring to just seeing the video.
I've noticed more of these 'creature' stories popping up on the net lately. I'm more inclined to think someone is having fun with video editing software and 3D Studio Max (or other 3D software).
I've got one thing on my mind...
If it was an alien, then why is it naked ?. Surely a being that has the ability to travel this far would at least be able to invent clothing, unless it escaped from a government building of course, kinky bunch of weirdo's them lot ! :P

Simple, it's an Alien's best friend broken loose.

I remember reading in a UFO book years ago that a man in rural America, some 100 years ago, saw the human occupants of a UFO who were naked. They were grinning like it was a joke or merely to upset the man by their nude appearance. Otherwise they were human-looking.

Well, most reported UFO crewmembers have worn clothing whenever seen. But not all. Some were nonhuman and also a few were more like robots or otherwise machine-looking.
An animal wouldn't be so civilized as to were clothing, would it?
I remind myself that a few tribes in the Amazon River Basin don't were clothing as such.
I think clothing really dates back to about 75,000 years ago.Body lice gene testing indictates that body lice split off from gorilla lice about that time ago.So what are humans doing with body lice that came from gorilla lice?So body lice came with the clothing.Triffid
There is some evidence that a super volcano exploded about the same time(75,000 years ago) and plunged the whole world into a prolonged winter which nearly wiped humans off of the earth.Maybe a thousand adults survived.So the clothing was for protection first?Then fashion came later.Triffid

I had my DNA checked with FamilyTreeDNA. My Dad's male ancestors *wintered over* south of the Pyrenees as Basques' ancestors.
They had to have clothing to survive the the last Ice Age. Practicality works. They may have even invented trousers? Just speculating.
--Lee
Well if you find out they did I know who to come to. Now it's time to invent trousers that fit. I think Harty is right, poor video to cover up flaws in the fake. The video itself seems untouched. Waste of time to take the shake out to figure that out.
If you notice the images on page 1 the film was flipped and inserted. There are other ways to manipulate videos without using Photoshop. I think this is clear enough to everyone this is a fake. The 2 in the left column are the same. One is re-sized. The rock in the background of the extremity is the same one.
Things to watch for, photographs have a steady progression of light. They have the same speed blur all the way across the picture. Learn to see these 2 things and it will help you in analysis of data from other sources.
If you are analyzing audio get Truster's Lie Detector if you can afford it. Video any good photo editing software will do, inspect the frames.
