It's a shame these leeches can't be brought up on charges of some kind for perpetrating a hoax. I can guarantee if they could be, there would be whole lot less of people like Greer and Maussan contaminating the UFO field of research as a whole.
More importantly, Urso Ruíz apparently confessed in an Internet forum he indeed hoaxed the creature, which is indeed just a squirrel-monkey:
“It’s just the corpse of a skinned squirrel-monkey. I took its ears out and involved it with all the hair and fluids of all animals I could find, then I dried it. All samples they take of it will come out as being of different animals.”
The story is still incomplete, and many questions remain, but here is what I have so far:
Sometime around May 11, 2007, a wealthy Mexican rancher named Marao Lopez (* )f ound this creature, less than one foot tall, in a steel trap.The property was in Metepec, a suburb of Toluca, the state capital of State in Mexico.
There was no vast wilderness or jungle nearby, making the find even stranger. The creature was alive, shrieking and scared. A small group of men took it back to the ranch. They marveled over it and took many photographs. The creature was found around 5pm in the evening, and (for reasons not yet made clear) the ranchers decided to kill and preserve it the morning of the third day, approx 36 hours later. They dunked it in water for a few minutes, but it emerged alive, still screaming. still screaming.
They dunked it a second time--longer, but it again regained consciousness. They dunked it a They dunked it a third time, for many hours, and it finally drowned. It's ability to survive so long
underwater has made many feel it was amphibious. Within days, word about the strange creature had gotten to Jaime.As it turns out, one of the two best witnesses who observed the creature alive was
a man Jaime knew well and trusted. In fact, James had known the man since the man was a child.
I don't think Jaime Maussan is a hoaxer. I just think it's a case of his enthusiasm for uncovering the truth getting in the way of common sense and good reasoning

That and his unwillingness to do even basic research on something, before jumping the gun... I remember Jaime's "UFO fleets" (aka balloon releases) all too well...

This also puts into question the DNA testers on Monster Quest who claimed it was an unknown. Maussan's name has never been a good one in ufology, and this evidence puts the final nail in his coffin. I apologize if I ever used him or this creature as evidence of an unknown.
Thank you for this post, as it teaches us all to remain diligent.

If Maussan's name is attached to it, you can be guaranteed it's a hoax! Did we ever think any differently? LOL!
