A photo posted by Gothamist's Jen Carlson on Monday of a scary-looking carcass found along the East River had everyone rehashing memories of the "Montauk Monster," another unidentified mutant animal that washed up on a Long Island beach in 2008.

The latest pictures were taken by Denise Ginley, who spotted the dead animal under the Brooklyn Bridge over the weekend.
So far, the best guess of what the creature might be include: a giant rat, a cooked pig or a small, bloated dog.
Will we ever really know?
Even Ginley told Joe Coscarelli of the The Daily Intel that the animal's feet are "not pig-like at all." She speculates that it could be a "monstrously huge rat."

Ginley told Gothamist that the deformed creature was about two feet from head to tail.
Some parts of the animal's skin were grey, blue or green and others were red, the photographer told WABC's Kemberly Richardson. "It sort of had a raccoon face and was bloated and didn't smell," she said.

Ginley first speculated that the animal carcass was a giant rat.
