Personally, to reiterate what I said above, I am of the opinion that they are, oh, just a tad smarter than us…

Cryptozoology is one of the things that gets me heart all a flutter.
“Mommy, What Happens Inside An Animal Shelter?”

The last thread here concerned the absolutely horrific treatment and misuse of bears by the Chinese for their collective medicinal superstitions.
This thread concerns the absolutely horrific treatment and misuse of dogs and cats by Americans for their collective fantasies of being ‘loving, caring’ pet owners.

I had, dear readers, for all these years I have lived, thought that we human beings were the only creatures who committed suicide.

Wow, man, that’s one hell of a claw! I’m diggin’ it. It reminds one of a precision instrument that some technician might wield for maximum tweakage of something obscure and specialized.
“He’s Got The Cutest Little Feet!”

What this actually is caught me by surprise when I read the description below. Always pictured an adhesive pad as, well, an adhesive pad. I would never have imagined that at least this species of beetle is perched on a large array of extremely tiny feet. Wicked! The things we learn…

Well, well now… this creature is certainly unusual… it’s half animal… and it’s half plant… and according to this article in LiveScience, the only one known to possess a certain unique quality – making it’s own chlorophyll and it’s own food – from light! How weird is that?
Bigfoot in Texas? New At L.O.W.F.I
Posted: September 10th, 2009 in cryptozoology, L.O.W.F.I.Tags: animals, bigfoot, Craig Woolheater, cryptozoology, East Texas Pine Belt, L.O.W.F.I., Native American legend, Piney Woods, sighting, Texas, Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy, The Legends of Texas, The Wild Woman Of The Navidad
A common misconception among the general public is that the Bigfoot phenomenon is limited strictly to the Pacific Northwest. Many people think of Texas terrain as being nothing but prairies and deserts filled with “tumbling tumbleweeds” to quote the famous song. [...]
Aftermath Of The Dogman
Posted: July 23rd, 2009 in cryptozoology, Forteana, natureTags: animals, cryptozoology, Ghost Theory, Javier Ortega, Linda Godfrey, Michigan Dogman, nature, photos, The Beast of Bray Road, videos
Michigan’s Dogman is still tearing up the internet and fortunately lots more info is coming to light. I find myself fascinated with this animal. It’s clearly not a bear, as I’ve seen bears, in fact, one calls my Dad’s backyard home. That’d be People’s State Forest in upper Connecticut, mere miles as it happens from the 19th century haunts of the Winsted Wildman. I’ve seen Dad’s neighbor from a distance of perhaps 100 feet for extended periods of time. I don’t think this Dogman chap has anything to do with dogs, as it moves more like a cat to these eyes, but, as I said, it ain’t no bear either. [...]

[...] Above we have my enhancement of the Temple photo, snapped just last winter by a teenage girl babysitting in Temple, Michigan – just as our pal was leaving the building. Said building being the barn on the right. It’s a straight crop down the middle. [...]
Goodhue’s Friendly Hairless Cryptid.
Posted: July 11th, 2009 in cryptozoology, Forteana, natureTags: animals, bizarre, Cryptomundo, cryptozoology, enhanced, Forteana, Goodhue, hairless raccoon, Loren Coleman, Minnesota, nature, photos
This is pretty cool… Loren Coleman’s posted four photos of a strange hairless animal that supposedly jumped into the trunk of a vehicle in Goodhue, Minnesota, near Minneapolis… now that’s rather odd behavior for a wild animal, but, hey, what do I know? The consensus of the commentators at Cryptomundo seems to be that this is a hairless raccoon, with several authoritative links that seem to show that that is probably the case. [...]
Confusion In The Sewers!

[...] The hapless stars of the bayou video also didn’t sport the bizarre spiky appendage that the third critter wields menacingly at the camera… indeed, that third fella is the one… the one that gets me to thinking that these are not your typical assemblies of worms… it’s stranger than the first two… much stranger… [...]
Cameron Village Infested! Unknown Life Form.

[...] These creatures were found in the sewer lines under Cameron Village in Raleigh, North Carolina. I don’t have knowledge of sewer-dwelling lifeforms, so I really can’t say, as it does in the description, that this is an unknown lifeform, but, it looks like it could qualify as such; and the operators of the camera certainly seem fascinated by it… [...]
[High Strangeness] Arnold Wants To Kill Defenseless California Animals
Posted: June 25th, 2009 in criminals, government, human behavior, wackosTags: animal shelter, animals, Arnold Schwarzenegger, balance the CA budget, California, cats, dogs, government criminality, Governor, human behavior, kill
Help stop the murder for money scheme of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who wants to balance the CA budget by killing shelter dogs and cats after only 3 days. While all shelters should be no kill, the new 3 day kill rule isn’t enough time for owners to find lost pets or animals to find new homes. You don’t have to live in CA to help.

[...] Spotted long ago by Tim Beech, one of the original investigators of Martian photographic anomalies, it shows an object that resembles for all the world the classic spout of an English teapot, ready to pour a little cheer into our lives. This particular teapot spout, however… I am currently thinking… is another in a series of Martian critters [...]
Mars. Spirit. Do We Have… A Live One?
Posted: May 27th, 2009 in exobiology, Forteana, Mars, Mars science, NASATags: animals, life on Mars, lifeform, Mars, NASA, nature, photos, science, space
This “rock” is what caught my eye. As Skipper intimates with his writing; and after looking so closely and so extensively into the wee hours… I am of the opinion that this rock… ain’t no rock. No, I think we’ve got a live one here.
