Exotic Animal Newsflash:

A Kentucky man, Kenny Mahoney, has a motion sensor hunting camera in his backyard, which often picks up images of rabbits, turkeys and deer.

What he found was an unidentified mysterious animal (UMA) on the photo raiding his garden. Check out this video:

Skeptical that it could be bigfoot, but unable to rule it out completely, the investigation moves on in the woods of Kentucky for bigfoot.

They say the figure looked to be six feet tall and had black fur, but they can’t be certain it wasn’t a bear, although it didn’t appear to be one. The form looks like it has a gorilla like head and shoulders with it’s arms crossed.

What do you think it was mulling around his back garden? Let us know by leaving a comment below…

Bigfoot Sighting in Kentucky on Film is a post from: Exotic Animal Lover

If you haven’t already heard, there is a brand spankin’ new Bigfoot sighting!

Two Georgia trackers claim they found the corpse of the notoriously mysterious Bigfoot in the northern woods and brought it home to stash it in a freezer for the past month.

They have provided a photo of the beast in their freezer and apparently, have turned over DNA to researchers to prove that it is indeed the real bigfoot!

As of yet, the trackers have not revealed much, except the photo and 3 DNA samples. So far, one sample was clearly human, one was of an opossum, and one could not be identified due to technical difficulties. More tests will be underway immediately.

With all of the justified skepticism, the pair of men have changed their story significantly 3 times, apparently, but they still stick to the story that Bigfoot is in their freezer.

These newly titled Bigfoot trackers have started offering weekend Bigfoot search expeditions in the Northern Woods of Georgia for $499.00.

Mysterious Animals Pop Up In New York City Streets is a post from: Exotic Animal Lover

The Yeti has aroused the imaginations of 9 US-based TV producers of the show, “Destination Truth”. This show researches unexplained phenomenon and the world’s most notorious crypto-zoological animals.

Armed with a team, including local sherpa porters, they have gone into the Himalayas to seek the long-searched for Yeti.

It is reported that they have found a fresh set of footprints on the bank of the Manju River in the Khumbu Region, near Mount Everest. They appear to have been made about 24 hrs prior to the discovery. One of the 3 footprints found on Wednesday is about 1 foot long…

An archaeologist with the team reported that they do not appear to be the footprints of a bear, but it is somewhat of a mystery what animal made them…

Nonetheless, it was such a pristine footprint that the team felt it warranted more research into this subject to find the truth.

Local sherpas believe that the Himalayas are the home of these strange creatures, some describing it as a protector, and some as a destroyer. Even the chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association in Kathmandu, who is from the Khumbu region himself, states, “There is a kind of mysterious creature that lives in the Himalayas.”

The Yeti is an ape-like creature, “wild man” or “man beast”, and is in many legends of folklore in a number of different places in the world. Other names include Big Foot, Sasquatch, and the Abominable Snowman, among other names I cannot pronounce…LOL

Yet all of these creatures are said to walk upright on 2 legs…In other words, they are bipedal.

Photo Right: Typical depiction of what these creatures would look like

The Yeti’s habitat is the Mountains and it hails from Nepal. After centuries of sightings, expeditions and inconclusive evidence, people are still investigating the existence of this creature.

The status of this animal is unconfirmed as of yet, making the creature that people are seeing a UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal) studied by crypto-zoologists the world over!

Yeti – Alive And Well? is a post from: Exotic Animal Lover

On Saturday, it was reported from Cuero, Texas, about 80 miles southeast of San Antonio, that 3 40-lb strange beasts were discovered dead on the side of the road. As described by avid, long-time huntress, Phylis Canion, these were uglier and stranger beasts than she has ever seen.

Phylis lived in Africa for 4 yrs and hunted big game, but her greatest find yet has been roadkill on the side of the road near her ranch in Texas, along with other neighbors, believing that recent heavy rains may have driven them out of their dens.

Canion saved and froze the head of one of them, which she will have DNA-analyzed, and then mounted on her wall with her other game trophies.

Go see the rest of the news story here:

Has a mythical beast turned up in Texas?

Could this be the mythical chupacabra discovered?

See photos here:

Suspected Chupacabra Photos from Cuero, TX

This is an artist’s depiction of the mythical chupacabra derived from Latin American folklore, and the physical descriptions of the strange creature vary greatly.

The chupacabra is mostly associated with Puerto Rico, where it was first reported in about 1987, Mexico and Latin American communities of the United States. Eyewitness sightings have been documented as far back as 1990, and with a wide range from Maine, United States and as far south as Chile, South America, and even thought to have been seen in Russia.

Over the past 2 decades, livestock and pets have been killed inexplicably. Not eaten, or carried off, but drained of their blood. Of course, legend tells them that this could be the mythical chupacabra, literally translated from the Spanish as “goat sucker”.

From legend, the chupacabra preys upon livestock and pets, and drinks their blood. Animals reported have been chickens, goats, horses, sheep, pets, and birds, just to name a few. In most incidences, the livestock was exsanguinated, sometimes organs were also extracted, through 1 or 2 holes.

It is said that it is the size of a small bear, looks like a heavy creature, and has a spines or quills from the nape of the neck down to the base of the tail, and is hairless or has very sparse hair with scaly, leathery skin that is bluish-greenish-gray in color. It has large fangs and huge claws.

They have been reported to even be between 3-4 ft high, and hop around like a kangaroo, witnessed leaping as far as 20 ft in one jump. When alarmed, they screech and hiss, and leave a foul smell behind.

Basically, it seems to be a combination between 3 different animals: canine, rodent and lizard.

Contrary to how canine species’ eyes glow blue when light is shone on them at night, the chupacabra’s eyes have been reported to glow red.

Scientists that are considered “mainstream” believe this creature only to be a myth or urban legend. Some of these creatures that have turned up in traps, or on the side of the road have been tested, and either identified as being a strange and unidentified breed of dog with demodectic or sarcoptic mange or simply, an unknown species of animal.

Classification
Grouping: Cryptid or Extraterrestrial???

Personally, from the pictures Phylis Canion provided, it looks like a strange breed of dog (it resembles a boar to me as well, does it to you?).

Is it explicable with knowledge of known species, or is it really a myth come true? You decide.

Until next time…
