TERRIFIED locals in a South American town are running scared after a strange creature they describe as "Gollum" crawled out of a lake and charged schoolkids.

The beast — which has "sparked fear and confusion" in the small town of Cerro Azul, Panama — was spotted on Saturday when four 14 to 16-year-olds were playing by the waterfront.

According to their account, reported by Panamanian news service Telemetro, the youngsters "screamed" when the five-foot creature emerged from a cave and started clambouring over rocks towards them "as if to attack them".

Its likely some evolved/devolved creature derived from either sloths or primates, given the physical structure. The elongated, yet very thin arms suggest little actual strength to the poor thing. The kids were probably disturbing its sleep, so it tried to see what was going on. They might even have been disturbing its nesting area. Thinking it a monster, they killed the creature without caring and decided that it must have been coming to attack them, because it looked scary.

I was thinking the same thing, poor thing was probably just curious and got killed for being an ugly sucker......very sad.

Fisrt of all that article is from the Sun - british tabloid.

Looks like it may be an amphibian.
related to a salamander perhaps

I believe you are correct. Note that the photographs do not show the feet (which would likely be definitive in identification). This sounds a lot like the "strange animals" which washed up on beaches on Long Island, New York which were Racoons the fur of which was missing likely do to emersion or mange.

I think it may be a seal . sea lion, or a walrus, maybe a stillborn aquatic mammal. I have see dead seals in the st. Lawrence river that look like that.

This part reminded me of the movie, "STRANGE WILDERNESS" the part where BIGFOOT stepped out of the cave, looked confused and said, "HUH?" When all the guys panicked, they opened fire and killed him on the spot. Later on, at the campfire..they agreed unanimously that BIGFOOT threatened violently to kill them (which obviously was not the case).

So is this story and picture real or a bunch of shit????
