Strange creature discovered in Ontario Creek

Ever since the Montauk Monster controversy, I'm more skeptical of this sort of thing than I used to be (which probably brings me to a normal level of skepticism, overall). Nevertheless, if this isn't a hoax, it's certainly quite creepy. From AolNews:

TORONTO - A First Nations community in northern Ontario may be giving Loch Ness a run for its money.

Reports from the remote community a few hundred kilometres south of Hudson Bay say a strange creature was pulled from a local creek earlier this month - a creature some are calling a monster.

According to the website, two local nurses were hiking near the creek when they noticed their dog Sam sniffing something in the water.

The dog pulled the 30-centimetre-long dead creature from the water and the two women snapped some photos of it.
