Sorry no - I had to suspend my popup blocker to get it to work

Iv\'e heard similar things about a wild dog with mange.
The pics of this I havn\'t seen, but the dog did look freaky as all hell.

Eagerly awaiting the DNA evidence. If it turns out to be a Chupacabra then it\'s proof that the mangy-foxes are evolving. If it\'s just a mangy fox, then it\'s proof that the Chupacabra was not fit and is subsequently extinct.

nice one. for some reason my pop up blocker wasn\'t making a noise (as it normally does). freaky looking but a dog nevertheless imo

Don\'t have the plugin to watch the video

Scabby mutt / Chupacabra

Hairy wild boar???

I thought there WERE no boar left in the wild ???
We killed them, bears and wolves years ago. I say \"we\", but I blame Highbulp Billy and his secret research into boars, bears and wolves.
My children have gone without furs for 3 winters you swine! ... You\'re lucky we have a nice cave.

IIRC it only takes one generation for pigs to turn feral when reintroduced to the wild. I have read such things before, but cannot attest to the accuracy.

I can - they go feral fast. Damn things (hogs) are the most dangerous thing domesticated and are worse when they go feral.

At the risk of a beating here, arent women the same?

 

[Torn blue sky]

Aw crap...now I have idea and they won\'t go away :twisted:
I suppose i\'d better just get on with it to put my tormented mind at rest :innocent:

@WP - sorry have no fear of women and that time of the month - I spent to long in a combat zone with heavily armed PMS\'ing women - and survived with my smart mouth intact. lol

PMSing + feminine hygiene products + over 100 heat + sand + armed to the teeth = some poor sod\'s demise
