Remember the bizarre animal post from years back....

[Debbi801]

what was his name? I want to say Oscar, but I could be wrong. But, maybe he really existed. LOL

But Loren Coleman, considered by some to be the leading cryptozoologist in the world, said one thing is clear: the creature found in Turner is not likely somebody's pet. Cryptozoologists study animals that science does not recognize as existing.

Since 1991, residents across Androscoggin County have reported seeing and hearing a beast that defies classical description. Theories have ranged from a fisher, a coy dog, a hyena or a dingo to more fanciful ideas: some believe the local creature is Maine's own Chupacabra, a legendary predator in the American southwest and Mexico.

6. Has anyone here ever heard a fox bark?

I tell you,it's more a scream than a bark and will bring you wide awake at 2AM. I'm wondering if this poor beast was some kind of unfortunate mongrel; maybe the result of a Great Dane meeting a Chihuahua. How about an Irish wolf hound and an English shepherd?

8. Damn Poetic Genius, this is!

Oscar

Can animals have sex with different animals?
My Uncle Leonard was a hermit that lived alone
in the woods in the mountains for many years. He
had a little money that he left to my sister and
left me a bicycle and drums and this animal that is
part wild and looks and acts like several type
of animals. I would say part dog, part cat and
the way it climbs part monkey. There is some kind
of wolverine or that kind of animal too in my opinion.
I am afraid to take it to the pound if it is illegal
and they take it. Leonard was a scary man to me and
I just don't want to immediately let it go even
though he is dead I just have this funny feeling
I would be in for bad things if I got rid of it.
I don't know why he left me it except that one time
I listened to him tell me the story of his life.
My sister and I were his only relatives. He didn't
have a will but told a neighbor what he wanted
left to who. I don't want to keep it in the house. I am
afraid if I left it outside it would climb over
this big wall we have around the house and hurt
somebody or even eat something. It weighs about
25 or 30 pounds, has stiff fur that is different
colors and lengths, makes sounds kind of like a
digging badger and if you pulled a rope or something
through a cardboard box. It has claws more like a
rodent. The tail is short and furry, but it could
have been broken off or cut off, it doesn't look right.
It doesn't really play, but it looks at you and then
looks away when you look at it. It likes to root around
in the garden but it is winter and there's not too much
damage it can do out there.

11. It would probably be going still but for the lock

but it was much more fun when the skeptics came after him :)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

12. We demand Pitchers!

Funny thing is, I'm the one asked for the lock because
I was having a nervous breakdown dreaming things up.
Naw, my dial-up kept crashing.... BTW, hi NSMA!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. Ahhh...that wasn't apparent

and hello back to you.

14. It just looks like a really ugly mutt to me.

I don't see what the big deal is.

[Jamastiene]

15. Sounds like a bona fide Oscar sighting to me.

Maybe we should start a virtual map with push pins to locate the sightings.
