–The Black Beast of Exmoor is a large, wild, cat-like creature held responsible for the killing of many farm animals in Devonshire, England. Report of the predator began in the early 1970’s. In the spring of 1983, one farmer lost over 100 sheep over 2-1/2 months of time. The slain animals were not killed in the fashion of a dog or fox (I didn’t do it!), having their throats ripped out. In 1987, the Beast was blamed for killing over 200 farm animals. More recent attacks occurred in August of 1995 and January of 2001. The Black Beast looks like a large panther, measuring almost 8 feet long from its nose to its tail. Some say that witnesses have exaggerated the size of a domestic or feral cat, or that the big feline escaped from a zoo and bred others. Still others contend that the Beast is from an alternative dimension, and can phase in and out of ours, thereby eluding hunters and capture!
Anyhow, what’s the big deal about The Black Beast of Exmoor? — I roam the countryside and mutilate livestock…alright, maybe I just rough them up real good…would you believe that I give them a good Dutch rub and wedgies…oh alright, I annoy them to tears!

—A centuries-old myth, a tall, hairy creature has been reported in Wisconsin and Michigan described as a dogman, also known as The Beast of Bray Road. A kind of American werewolf or possibly Bigfoot variant, witnesses of the Dogman have been found not to be lying under lie detector examination. Alledged hair samples of the beast, however, have been found to be from a bear or a housecat.–Watch the Dogman on Monster Quest, the most current new episode!

–A recent episode of Monster Quest concerned giant rats, and there has been considerable commentary on the same in other blogs. The Gambian Pouched Rat is known to extend upwards of three feet from nose to tail. As in their previous giant hogs episode, Monster Quest failed to produce video images of huge rats despite a “rat cam.” I did like an incident reported of rats who acted in concert to attack a woman. It’s easy to produce a few souls who have claimed to have seen rats as big as cats, however, and rats of this size probably do exist. Stephen King had a memorable short story in which the biggest rat was the size of a calf.
‘Ya know what makes most people abhor rats?–Their tails! The hairless tails of rats tap into an instinctual snake aversion. Remove the tails or make them hairy, and people don’t mind them nearly as much…consider the gerbil! One must respect rats; they’ve even survived nuclear testing at the Bikini Islands!

—Bigfoot is known by many names dependent on the region; Sasquatch, Yeti, even the Skunk Ape. In Ohio, MonsterQuest reports that he is known as The Grassman. No, he isn’t a pot smoker, and he does show some variations from the usual Bigfoot traits, such as a habit of building “nests” on the forest floor. These nests are crafted so well that two researchers trying to duplicate one could make only a pitiful simulation. Other Bigfoot traits seem almost universally reported; e.g., the bad odor and the abundant hair.
I profess a weakness for the JackLinks “Messing With Sasquatch” commercial series in which Bigfoot is portrayed sympathetically as more sinned against than sinning, and gets his revenge on his tormentors!

— MonsterQuest in a current new episode presented a story of a “vampire-beast” killing goats and dogs in the small North Carolina town of Bladenboro. In some cases, the dogs killed were pit bulls; no easy kill! Slain animals in some cases had their skulls crushed flat with blood pretty much extracted from the victim’s body. What’s additionally intriguing was that similar slayings occurred 50 years ago, drawing hunters from a wide area in search of the predator.
The episode came to the conclusion that the killings most likely resulted from a mountain lion relocated to the area, although this explanation didn’t seem to cover all of the incidentals of the cases reported…

— I found the season premier of Monster Quest rather disappointing. It was about monster hogs, giant pigs supposedly a growing problem in certain southern states like Texas. Investigative techniques were used like attaching a camera to a wild pig and releasing it in the hopes that it would lead to these giant pigs…that’s right, a hog cam! Despite amusing close-ups of pig bristles and bouncing countryside, no giant hogs were found.
And what about the people who investigate and capture wild hogs, the so-called hog wranglers? Would you like a job like that, or would you eventually get boared?

— A giant squid currently being thawed out and examined in New Zealand has the world’s largest eye with a lens the size of an orange; the eye itself in total is about the size of a dinner plate. The squid measured about 26 feet long when caught accidentally by fishermen off Antarctica last February; it weighs in excess of 1,000 pounds!
Giant squids are mollusks, cephalopods to be more specific that are related to the octopus. Specimens larger than this one are regarded to exist in the ocean depths!

— Was it poet Carl Sandburg who described the fog as creeping in on “little cat feet?”–How about cougar paws? A 150-pound cougar was shot dead by police in a residential neighborhood of Chicago’s North Side, ending a series of recent sightings reported in recent times. The cougar will be checked for tags and implanted chips which might reveal if the cougar was someone’s pet.
As reported in a recent Monster Quest episode, however, large predacious animals have recently been reported in areas assumed to be devoid of them…intrusions which will probably become increasingly common as the natural habitats and prey of those animals are whittled away by man…

–In India about 25 miles from New Delhi, a baby was born to impoverished parents that has two faces on a single head…two sets of eyes, two noses, and two mouths. The child is in no acute danger, and there is no talk of separation, which would likely be impossible.
Now about a month old, the baby is revered by many as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, and is visited by throngs offering money or other gifts and wishing to touch the baby’s feet in search of blessings…

–Hehe!–Just when you think that they couldn’t find Jesus or Elvis in any more places, a Houston youth minister has found an image of Christ in…a cheeto! He is said to have outstretched arms, and everything…and they shall call His name, “Cheezus!”–Remember when someone saw the Virgin Mary in a cheese sandwich?
Someone paid over a thousand bucks on eBay for a cornflake shaped like the state of Illinois…it will be part of a traveling collection.– Yep, I’d pay to see that! They are picking the Illinois cornflake up in person so it doesn’t suffer the fate of the world’s biggest cornflake, which broke into three pieces in the mail…
