I am not one of those people who go around trying to prove that big foot exists or anything like that... but I do believe there are things out there that we do not know about... Anyway, something I posted over at www.reptileadvice.com . http://www.reptileadvice.com/viewtop...6d6cd215c9062b
I'm really curious as to what this guy I know has around his place. I'm hoping if I can't get up there myself to look around I can convince him to set up some video camera to find out what's killing his animals. Anyway, if any of you have any thoughts on this or any other unexplained mysterious type thing, feel free to share...
Hey, Millipede! I read your post - maybe the reptilian creature your friend saw is a snapping turtle? But, don't they spend their entire life in water? You would know better than I.
I think whatever is killing the livestock is something else entirely. Perhaps gray wolves (they're making quite a comeback in the lower 48 ), or wild dogs.
On the other hand, tell your friend to rent "Tremors"......
It does sound like a big cat that is doing in the livestock, and the short black hairs are inconsequential, as any scavanger that happened upon the carcass wcould have left them.
As for the lizard...who knows, could be a caimen someoen let go, or some type of monitor lizard.

I am. :P Well, not bigfoot per se.

Weird stuff... I had to do a google to see what that was... interesting to say the least.
I don't know this guy very well but I still might see if I can look around his place.
