Strange Creature Spotted

www.gulf-times.com...

a weird lil creature spotted outside a newspaper parking lot and verified by several witnesses. I have no idea what it could be but kind of looks fake. Heres the pic.

I can't figure out the validity of it at all.

But I can say, like her if I saw it walking around I personally wouldn't go hmmm, maybe I can get close to it, no I would be the first person in the crowd to run like friggin hell away, don't care if it could hurt me or not, it's friggin creepy enough to tell me to stay as far away as possible.

Im the first to get excited over new creature sightings- but the eyes and fingers on this picture has no shadow or depth and I believe its a fake... Just my two cents.

“She was very soon surrounded by a large number of people who also attested to the fact of what she had seen . But it suddenly disappeared out of their sight when they tried to go near it,” the report added.

So there is a group of people that see this crazy looking creature laying on the ground and then it disappears when they go near it? I guess it had a magical invisibility cloak.

How did the women get close enough to take the picture?I guess she happened to have a nice telescopic lens in her pocket.

In the picture it looks the creature has advanced rigor mortis. It also looks as if the photo was cropped and rotated 90 degrees to make it look like it is standing up.

Looks like an Aye-Aye

have to agree. it looks totally fake. like a little rubber doll r something. plus it looks like the bottom half of the body is ripped off.

It looks like one of those old heavy duty rubber Gremlin dolls that has had some of the color modified.

Yep, no shadows on it at all. Ha.

It almost looks like the aye-aye, but its the fingers that tell me no, and spaces between the eyes ears and nose.

It's obviously fake, i'm just stuck wondering what exactly it is or what tv set its from.

If I had a plastic model of this, i'd totally stick it standing up in someones room when they were sleeping!!!

Well, I dunno -- I think its a dead ringer. The eyes are exactly the same, the ears sticking out, the gray skin, the fuzzy hair.
Only thing is the Nat. Geographic pic is of a baby. One wouldn't think a baby one could just take off so fast.

It has a slight resemblance to an aye-aye. Look at the hands. The fingers are very different from an aye-aye. An aye-aye has a very long and skinny middle finger. The arms are off, too. I could go on and on pointing out major differences. I'll just end with, not an aye-aye.

Looks like Chupacabra"Goat Sucker." Or fake or maybe just the mutant son or grandson of "Dubya" Bush. Either way one seriously ugly mother.
If it has a face only a mother can love that's gotta be one ugly mother. Also upon further picture review it's missing an important thing we all have namely a shadow.

I know I have seen this in a movie.....just cant remember which one at the moment. I'll try and figure it out tho.

It looks pretty fake, kinda looks like a toy.

The eyes look really weird, makes it look plastic.

The fingers on it's extended hand look like plastic too.

Going to have to say fake.

Yep, its a dead Aye Aye I always laugh at people that make claims that its OBVIOUSLY this or that without substantiating their argument without any kind of proof.

The appearance of one in the vicinity is thought by some people to signify the imminent death of a villager, with the only way of averting this being to kill the aye-aye. When loss of its forest habitat led the aye-aye to invade plantations, animals were killed when they raided villagers' crops.

I guess it could be a dead Aye-Aye but i dont think so. the imiage in the op that thing looks pretty dang fake to me. I have seen many many dead animals as a hunting guide and having had my fur bearer trapping permit, i made a living from dead animals. if anything that image in the op looks like hard rubber or plastic to me. But then again i guess i have never seen a dead Aye-Aye. i can see the simularities but to me they just dont match they are too diffrent some thing about it that screams TOY to me. the eyes look to small to be an AYE AYE


About the AYE-AYE though that thing is so ugly its cute. I want one for a pet.

edit to add. the eyes on the thing in the OP the just look painted on to me

i am no expert, and i agree i think its fake but i see shadows on the photo. i dont think its copied and pasted on there i just think some one set it on the ground and snapped a photo.

RED ARROW= shadow.

I was thinking the same thing.

It is most certainly not an aye-aye. But don't believe me, I only studied wildlife biology. I don't even think it is real, but I am not entering that arguement. All I will say is that it is not an aye-aye. Find any picture where you can fully see the hands of a real aye-aye and you too will know it is not.

Its a pic taken with a bad camera, look at this pic I took of a house centipede with my blackberry. It looks like it was just pasted on there but it's an actual picture.

that is one crappy looking photo. i dont think it is an aye-aye. it might be one, but if it is it was disfigured quite a bit. plus the fingers are all wrong.

i do agree though that it looks like it was shot lying down and just cropped up. if ur gunna fake a photo, try a little harder.
