Answer 4

It is not a raccoon.

It is not a turtle. Turtles don't have EARS that look like that, and turtles don't have LEGS like that, they have flippers.

It is a pig, bound like its about to be roasted. It is partially decomposed and its snout is missing.

Answer 5

no.. not to me it dont>>maybe a dog!! mmm thats freaky.

Answer 6

I don't believe it's a raccoon. Looks more to me like a turtle missing it's shell. And people are saying it's photoshopped. I don't believe that either. The way they would have to blend textures and all is far too complicated. If you ask me,I think the media is blowing this way out of proportion.
