Did anybody around the Baltimore and DC area see the motion detection camera stuff on the strange animal roaming around in broad daylight? Looks like a cross between a hyena and a zebra or somesuch!. Friendly to cats n dogs, it's snooping garbage cans for food.

??? Got a link?

I wanna see that too!

I just happened to see that today on that page.

Thanks wlemonds,

Living fossil or did my dog groomer over medicate? :rolleyes:

It is kind'a freaky looking.

In Florida we're kinda used to exotic pets escaping and thriving, but what the hell kinda exotic pet was that originally? Definately freaky looking!

Looks like a really bad case of the mange.

I think it's a targ.

It's either an Andrewsaurchus, or somebody shaved a dog.

It looks like a dog that might have been part of animal testing. It sad if you ask me.
I am really ashamed of some people.

I saw the clip on my local news last night.

I agree with Xacto - it looks like something that was once a dog. Very unsettling thing to see.

A mad scientist genetically altered canine?

HORRENDOUS! They could have at least made him look more attractive!

I don't mean he was genetically altered!!! I meant like when cosmetic companies and drug companies use animals for testing like skin burns and eye damage etc. IF someone in Baltimore had half a brain and half a heart they would call the SPCA and have the collect the dog and put it out of it's misery. It is NOT a rare species or Baltimore's prize in CryptoZoology. Give me a break, get that poor dog to a vet!!!!!

It might even be a Golden Retriever or maybe a golden Lab. I am disappointed in all human beings rightnow!

At least find out if the local zoo is missing a runt Hyena.

Travis

Come to think of it.......it looked like one of the Killer Shrews.

It's the rarely seen - but frequently smelled - creature that can only be called: Yamadog!

You don't usually see Rodents of Unusual Size outside the Fire Swamps.
InconTHEEVable!!!

I just saw the video on CNN. Odd! Maybe some adolescent hyena escaped from a zoo?

It didn't have "Property of the Zoo" stamped on it!

How would they stamp a huge lion?

Very carefully.

old joke.

It didn't have "Property of the Zoo" stamped on it!Ah, I see the discussion involving Monty Python comedy bits has crept into other threads!
BTW, we live near Baltimore County and haven't heard a thing about it...

I sure hope somebody follows up on this. I'm dyin to find out what it is.

Ohhhh, intercourse the penguin.

I checked out the local TV website - http://www.thewbalchannel.com/index.html - and they have some more images of it (or something very sililar to it!) that were taken closer to home last year. A rep of the state DNR thought it may have been a fox with mange, but that head is definitely un-foxlike. Point of interest to you John, the folks who took the pictures last year moved here from NJ, and he said that being from New Jersey he immediately thought it was the Jersey Devil!

Cryptozoology is alive and well! And speaking of cryptozoology, has anybody read about Incident At Loch Ness? If not, do a web search...

Ohhhh, intercourse the penguin.

"Here on BBC2, it's 9 o'clock and time for the penguin on top of your television to explode."

Another animal was spotted LAST YEAR near Joppa Md.

Here is the link:

http://www.nbc4.com/news/3558739/detail.html

Apparently, it's a red fox with BAAAAAD mange.

Here's a link:

http://www.nbc4.com/news/3604803/detail.html

I still think it's a rodent of unusual size

t.

Saw it on the Baltimore news - poor thing looked scared to death in the cage...

Haven't seen my ex in awhile....hmmm.....:devil:

You gotta love human's... talking Cryptozoology when a very rare, um fox running around in broad daylight. I can't wait till the Jersey Devil sees this poor fox and reinstates his terror in South Jersey.

Travis

It doesn't look like the same animal in the earlier photos?!! "we were told to believe a lie!!"

That's ok, Howard Dean will probably blame the fox hoax on the Bush Administration...

Travis

Or Blame the whole affair on FOX news.... LOL or is that FAUX?

"They determined it was a fox with sarcoptic mange.

"It is a skin parasite that looks -- under the microscope -- like spiders," said Dr. Herko."

A fox bitten by a radioactive spider. It's Spiderfox!

Spiderfox,
Spiderfox,
you can't keep him in a box.
spins a web any size,
got the mange,
'probly die.
Look Out !
here comes the spiderfox.

That's just...wrong. On SO many levels...

But what about Frets ex Wife......should we worry?

We should...if she's with Dr. Herko....

Look! Up on the Building!
It's Spiderwoman!
Da dadaDAAA.
and this frets ex-wife.
who. while visiting Dr. Herkos' laboratory
was forced to try an untested Spider serum.
Dr. Herko unknowingly gave her spider-like powers!
Dedicated to fighting evil, while weaving her web of justice.
It's Spiderwoman!!
bang, crash!
roar!
Star Wars blaster!
Da..dada DADA ...DADA!!

...not as catchy.

But what about Frets ex Wife......should we worry?

Be afraid...be VERY afraid...:lol:

:lol: FAR OUT!!!
