What do You Think This Alleged Monster is?

What do You Think This Alleged Monster is?
My News Limerick:
New York's East River washed up a  beast, 
It is quite the mystery, to say the least,
Quite undeniable, 
It's undefinable,
Let's bury it and thank God it's deceased!

Quote of the Day:
"When he is best, he is a little worse than a man; and when he is worst, he is a little better than a beast." William Shakespeare (1564-1610), The Merchant of Venice, Act I, sc. 2

Commentary:
Oh my goodness! What the heck is this thing? The popular "Rivers Monsters" star Jeremy Wade said this:

What do You Think This Alleged Monster is?
"From my previous incarnation as a biology teacher I can say it's not a pig: pigs have characteristic cloven feet, which this animal hasn't got. The teeth also look wrong for a pig. From the picture it's hard to get a sense of scale — some kind of rodent would be my guess, and it's common for dead bodies to swell in water, which can give them a grotesque appearance, not to mention crabs etc. Partially eating soft parts of the face. Not to be ruled out, but unlikely in this case, is the assembly of hybrid animals by taxidermists, from bits of several unrelated creatures. This practice used to be popular in Japan, and I once saw a shrine dedicated to such an animal, not that I'm suggesting that should be the fate of this unfortunate beast."
