To the best of our knowledge, the infamous photo was taken on July 12, 2008. Then and now, the story of the Montauk Monster is a slippery one to try and make sense of it is like trying to hold a cupful of sand in your fist. At the time, all that I cared to know was What in tarnation is this thing ? And then, later: Where is it ? I don’t remember doubting for a second that the creature in the photo existed whatever it might be, it was real. Like most of us, I first saw the photo by way of the Gawker story. All anyone could agree on was that they had never seen anything like the Montauk Monster before. Was it a pitbull mercilessly defeated in an illicit dogfight? An escaped mutant from a mysterious animal disease research center on nearby Plum Island? A raccoon robbed of its fur in a postmortem tumble through the sea? A turtle without its shell? But turtles don’t have teeth, and dogs don’t have dinosaur beaks.
