Actually it's an American mink that died floating with the head and feet below water long enough to strip the fur. That's not news, and it's pretty pathetic that it even was reported. It's a common native species, and calling something a little over 20 cm "big" is also a ridiculous overstatement. Then again, people made a fabulous monster out of a dead raccoon (the so-called Montauk Monster), so if the local natives want to be freaked out by a dead mink I suppose it's their business. Personally I think people need to spend more time outside, and maybe visit the zoo.
