Monster Update: The Bigfoot Corpse Is Still A Hoax, But Brooklyn Has A Two-Headed Turtle!

As we reported on Sunday, the guys from Georgia (USA) who claimed to have the frozen corpse of Bigfoot in their beer cooler failed to produce any convincing evidence at their press conference in Palo Alto on Saturday. But this sad monster tale doesn’t end there. The man who sponsored the press conference SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi, was bamboozled, too. Apparently he paid an “undisclosed sum” to Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer the two Georgia men who claimed to have possession of the body. Being nobody’s fool, (except Whitton and Dyer’s), Biscardi was smart enough to hire a private dick to check things out. Turns out the photograph made famous last week was nothing but a rubber suit. LAME. And Whitton and Dyer have disappeared with Biscardi’s money. Shit fire! But baby Jesus has smiled on the rest of us monster fans and sent Brooklyn a two-headed turtle. And the heads fight over food! And it’s been stolen! Aaaaah! After the jump!

According to the New York Daily News, some “cruel thief,” took the little, two-headed freak from a pet store window on Sunday between 11 am and noon on Sunday. The turtle came to store owner Sean Casey via Florida. It hatched from an egg that was rescued after its mom was hit by a car.

Two-headed turtles aren’t unheard of, but they’re very unusual, said Paul Sieswerda, curator of the New York Aquarium at Coney Island.

“I’ve never seen one,” he said. “It’s very similar to conjoined twins. Some kind of mutation takes place during the development process.”

In a human interest profile on the turtle published earlier this summer, the Daily News noted that many people had offered to take the little guy off Casey’s hands, but Casey declined noting that he takes special care:

He feeds each head by hand, because otherwise they fight over the little pellets. The water in the tank is shallow because if the turtle overturns, the two heads can’t always agree on the best way to flip back - a drowning hazard.

Whoever has this turtle: Whatever you do, don’t flush it down the toilet. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DIDN’T YOU SEE ALLIGATOR????
