East River ‘Monster’: Grotesque Carcass Washes up in NYC and Residents Can’t Figure Out What It Is

New York City is notorious for dangerously large rats — at least if you watch the movies, that’s what they would have you to believe. But an unidentified monstrous animal that was found dead on the shoreline of the East River has locals and officials scratching their heads.

On Monday, Gothamist posted a photo taken by Denise Ginley of the East River creature. You can view all of Ginley’s photos here (Note: You may need to login to a Yahoo account to view all 18 of her photos), but below are a few of them.
