Mystery, fish-shaped creature found close to the wetlands this morning. Is this the Montauk Monster's cousin? Will we now have TV cameras and bloggers and tourists all coming to Mastic Beach for the summer, hoping for another sighting? And seeing what a beautiful place it is while they are here?
This monster is about two feet long. It's lower jaw is missing, and gill, and it's rather monstrous. Suggestions so far have been a shark, a baracuda, and a monster.
with out a doubt thats a shortnosed sturgeon
