– – Another Bigfoot sighting has been submitted from Utah’s Provo Canyon where two hikers saw from a safe distance on Sunday what they initially believed to have been a black bear; they stood there for some time fumbling with their camera before getting it to work. When the “bear” suddenly stood and stared directly at them, the hikers fled from the massive animal through the woods, abandoning their camping gear and heading to their car. The camera continued to run during their flight, with images unclear from that point but revealing something moving upright with massive arms (pictured)…
Now neither of the hikers were Bigfoot believers prior to the incident, and do not appear to be acting; they are not terribly vocal. They describe what they saw simply as a huge animal that they were positive wasn’t a bear. The reactions of the observers appear natural and unscripted, and the “blobsquatch” images, such as they are, are rather compelling…
– – A tragedy occurred at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium late Sunday morning when a young boy visiting the zoo with his mother and friends fell off an observation deck rail into the pit of an exhibit housing 11 African painted dogs.
– – We had earlier posted on how a Beluga whale had learned to imitate human speech, and now we may add the Asian elephant to the list of species capable of mimicking speech…in Korean, yet! 
– – Wild boars are attacking!–And please note that we are talking about the animal spelled “boar,” not “bore,” although lord knows we have an abundance of such creatures. Anyways, while Americans have been battling with Hurricane Sandy, China and Germany have been hit with wild boar attacks. In Berlin, Germany, a wild boar appeared out of the woods, and attacked four individuals before eventually being shot by a police officer. Then in Shantou, China, a boar broke into an office, in the process breaking down a glass window, smashing a water pipe, and attempting to get at a cook. The Chinese boar eventually escaped, and has yet to be found by investigators.
— I, for one, find the prospect of exploding reptiles both darkly amusing yet creepy and disturbing, one of those rare things that both captivates yet repels me at the same time. You don’t really want to see such a thing yet if you did, you couldn’t bear to look away, either! With that in mind, I offer the following true story to kindred spirits like myself who dearly love tales of the grotesquely fascinating.
– – A lone hiker was mauled to death by a grizzly bear on Friday in Alaska’s Denali National Park. It was the first fatality from a bear attack in the park’s nearly 100 year history. 
– – Talk about having a terrible, no good, really bad day! Wallace Weatherholt, a 63-year-old airboat captain in the Florida Everglades, was giving a tour of the area on June 12th to an Indiana family and hanging fish over the side of his boat when a nine-foot alligator sank its teeth into his wrist, severing his hand.
– – In yet another shark attack, fifty-year-old Christopher Myers was attacked Monday by what was believed to have been a great white shark while he and his son were swimming about 400 yards offshore at Ballston Beach in Truro, Massachusetts. He suffered four puncture wounds on each lower leg, and had surgery to repair torn tendons. Treated at a Boston hospital, Myers will be returning home with a cast on one leg and bandages on the other.
– – Perhaps Alfred Hitchcock was right; the birds are up to something! A United Airlines Boeing 737 struck a bird as it descended into Denver International airport Tuesday morning, leaving a gaping hole in the nose of the plane. An emergency was declared, and Flight 1475 was able to land safely.
