That is one ugly looking thing. Looks like a mutated Mexican hairless rat.
The only thing strange in the photo I noticed was that it seemed to be flipping off the camera.

Yeah, after reading about that area it all sounds odd.
Is anyone going to independently test the creature?

Here are some news stories The East Hampton Star and Newsday that cover the story.
Some of my favorite quote from the first story
The best part of the second one.
Some of my favorite quote from the first story
“. . . but unless the government is trying to design horrible Montauk Monsters that will eat I.E.D.s and fart fire at bad Iraqis, we’re not sure why they would create such an unthinkable beast,” a blogger for the Web site wrote. “Our guess is it’s viral marketing for something.”
The best part of the second one.
He knows what it isn't.
A raccoon. ("The legs appear to be too long in proportion to the body.")
A sea turtle. ("Sea turtles do not have teeth.")
A rodent. ("Rodents have two huge, curved incisor teeth in front of their mouths.")
He said the general body shape looks like a dog or other canine ("Coyote?"). But that the "prominent eye ridge and the feet" don't match.
He said the feet and face look "somewhat ovine" -- that would be like a sheep -- but sheep don't have sharp teeth.
Wise's best, educated guess: "A talented someone who got very creative with latex."

Looks my my return from Tibet was just in time.
Of course its a latex model... would else would it be? I see that a few years experience for you all has left you none the wiser.
Nothing's changed here while I was away it seems.

Have you examined the remains personally to make that conclusion?
Welcome back Debunker, a lot more than you expect has changed.
How was the visit with the monks?

I cannot believe my eyes. Debunker has returned. 
Man have I missed your willingness to take up the other side of the debate.
I just hope they will publish the evidence that back up whatever official view they pick. Personally, I am still holding out a little bit of hope that they are government designed I.E.D. eating and fire farting monsters just for my own amusement.
If it is latex, that should have been fairly easy to identify by any skilled professional. However, some idiot supposedly ran off with the thing so we may never really know.

There is always a convenient excuse for a lack of evidence... ALWAYS.

Welcome back Debunker.
Actually until either I see the remains, or someone I trust examines the remains I will take this story with a very large grain of salt.
