The "Animal" (Or what the government wants us to think it is) may have just been modeled after the Grumman HU-16 Albatross all along...
 
Which subspecies would it then be you think? Considering wikipedia gives me quite the list!

Variants
  • XJR2F-1 - Prototype designation, two built.
  • HU-16A (originally SA-16A) - USAF version
  • HU-16A (originally UF-1) - Indonesian version
  • HU-16B (originally SA-16B) - USAF version (modified with long wing)
  • SHU-16B (modified HU-16B for Anti-Submarine Warfare) - export version
  • HU-16C (originally UF-1) - US Navy version
  • LU-16C (originally UF-1L) - US Navy version
  • TU-16C (originally UF-1T) - US Navy version
  • HU-16D (originally UF-1) - US Navy version (modified with long wing)
  • HU-16D (originally UF-2) - German version (built with long wing)
  • HU-16E (originally UF-2G) - US Coast Guard version (modified with long wing)
  • HU-16E (originally SA-16A) - USAF version (modified with long wing)
  • G-111 (originally SA-16A) - derived from USAF, JASDF, and German originals
  • CSR-110 - RCAF version
If you ask me, I would have no clue about this particular model of Albatross.
 
If this was a teal though......

No. If the Albatross would try to eat certain marine species it would get nasty toxins in its mouth, but no.
