The "Panama Creature" (also variously referred to as the "Panama Monster",〔 "Panama ET" "Cerro Azul Monster", "Blue Stream Monster" or "Blue Hill Horror"〔) refers to a creature photographed near the town of Cerro Azul, Panama, in September 2009. After the creature was discovered and reputedly killed by a group of teenagers, photographs of the corpse were given to Telemetro, a Panamanian television station. The story and pictures circulated, and comparisons to the Montauk Monster were made. There was speculation about the identity of the creature, with suggestions including a hairless sloth, an alien species and a creature new to science. A biopsy performed by the National Environmental Authority of Panama on the remains a few days after the creature's discovery concluded that the corpse was in fact that of a male brown-throated sloth. The odd appearance had been caused by underwater decomposition, which had resulted in hair loss. Once identified, the corpse was buried. ==Events== A group of four or five teenagers aged between 14 and 16 claim to have been playing near a cave in Cerro Azul, Panama when the creature emerged.〔〔 They say that it approached them, and, fearing for their safety, they attacked the creature with sticks and rocks, killing it. They claim that they then threw its corpse into a pool of water before leaving the area. They later returned and took photographs of the creature's corpse, before sending the pictures to Telemetro, a Panamanian television station. Virginia Wheeler, writing for ''The Sun'', claimed that the discovery "sparked fear and confusion" in the town. According to some sources, subsequent photographs were taken of the creature after it had further decomposed; however, doubts have been expressed about whether the later photos were of the same specimen.〔 A few days after the photographs were taken, one of the teenagers gave a different account in an interview with ''Telemetro Reporta'', saying "I was in the river and I felt something grabbing my legs ... We took it out of the water and started throwing rocks and sticks at it. We had never seen anything like that."〔 The photographs show a pale creature that is mostly hairless, with a rubbery body. It has "revolting features"; a snub-nose and long arms.〔〔 Writers for the ''Huffington Post'' said that while the head is clearly animal, the torso is "strange", while the limbs are reminiscent of thin human arms.〔 Writers for WBALTV.com compared it to both a "small, portly" version of the alien in ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'' and ''The Lord of the Rings'''s Gollum's "long-lost cousin".
