but thats just a guess.

Answer 8

Monster, schmonster, some people really need to lay off the conspiracy c**p. It's a dead bloated raccoon, hair has sloughed off the body, nasal cartilage is gone, and missing upper front teeth. Closeup comparison to a raccoon skull clearly shows the recognizable dental pattern, as well as the characteristic paw configuration and relative size (approx. 2 1/2 feet). I've seen enough skinned animals to know that they look strikingly different without fur. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Answer 9

It's a dead, bloated, partially decayed raccoon.

It looks like it has a beak only because the upper teeth are missing and the angle of the particular photo is from the side.

Answer 10

Decomposed raccoon:

Answer 11

Lol it's got that beak mouth so I'd say it looks like a grffin from mythology... haha, maybe they were more common back in the days of the mythos. XD

Next thing you know we'll have dragons being unearthed in the mountains and unicorns being hunted in the forests.
