Cave monster killed in Panama!

It definitely looks like a sloth, judging by the hands.
 
The only good cave monster is a dead one. :mad: Kudos to those couraegous kids.
 
If a sloth ever gets close enough to injure you with its claws, you deserve to be cut with a knife two more times for being that ****ing lazy.
I don't think sloths are aggressive.
It looks like a cat to me.
What kind of f***ing cat would that be!?

It looks like a sloth, most of these are fake. If it was real, I would of heard of it before now.
 
So...they feared for their lives...and instead of RUNNING, they BEAT IT TO DEATH?

Kids.
 
Where is the picture of the hands that everyone is using to say it's a sloth?
 
Its funny how we can go in this day and age to go back and act like caveman. Scared and thinking that primitively bummeling it death is the way to solve it.

Makes you wonder thou how we would act in a situation that frightened us.

If you follow the right arm you can see what looks like a big claw. I think that's what is being referenced.

I am no sloth connosieur, but aren't Sloths entirely tree based? Why would one be in a cave in the first place? Maybe it's a new species, the hairless cave sloth. But I think pretty much their whole subsistence is based around slowly eating leaves and crapping. It has no reason to get into caves. Still, I would like to se a pic of the creatures lower legs to confirm whether it is or it is not. Why would no one would take a full picture?

"not in mexico. everything is backwards down there"

Except h means the creature was found in Panama. It's further south. You know, where Ruben Blades comes from? That guy in Predator 2?

Sloths are actually fairly good swimmers and aren't entirely arboreal, and they descend from huge land sloths so a cave variety isn't entirely out of the question.

Also, anything south of Oklahoma is pretty much Mexico.
 
Found these pics off our local newspaper's website. Looks like a sloth's feet to me. No doubt in my mind this was a sloth. Either it had a disease that made it hairless, or it was already dead when they found it. It looks a little bloated to me, so I'm guessing it was already dead (drowned).

Looks very slothlike, but I'm not a zoologist, yet.
