Or is it a felid, like the caracal above? Or canid, like that dog running across your road? Is this photograph the "Mystery Animal" seen for decades in West Virginia’s Potomac Highlands? This picture was taken by an automatic digital camera set on private property in a 3000 acre wilderness in which no human inhabitants live. It was caught on film on August 8, 2006 at 0700 Hours.

Mystery Hills Spider
September 13, 2006 Student Says He’s Found Spider Species ASSOCIATED PRESS ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A previously unknown creature has been roaming the Kenai Peninsula’s Mystery Hills – or at least its alpine rock crevices.

Bowser is writing a journal article on the spider with a national arachnid expert that will undergo peer review. Bowser was collecting bugs 13 months ago when he found the spider north of the Sterling Highway and [...]

Sumatran Rhinos Are Living Fossils
Zoologist Darren Naish has written a thoughtful essay on “Are Sumatran Rhinos Really Living Fossil?” His blog is in response to my comments on the “living fossil” issue, discussed here. I disagree with Naish’s restrictive parameters, of course, as I see this more an issue of educational semantics influenced by zoology, not ruled by it. Darren Naish’s approach is worthy of your attention and he has every right to his very informed point of view. Needless to say, in this case, I was employing the “living fossil” definition that this rhino species is “a living species/clade with many ‘primitive’ characteristics [...]

Athreya, who found the bird, named it after the Bugun tribe, which lives in the area. The bird has a black [...]
Flatwoods: September 12th
It looked worse than Frankenstein. It couldn’t have been human. Kathleen May. The smell was like oil on hot metal. You know, that greasy, sweet, slippery odor, slightly burnt and perhaps even appealing. But then more and more of it seemed to be saturating the molecules all around. It filled your nose. It permeated your pores. It made you sick to your stomach. It wouldn’t go away. The creepy feeling was close, something beyond the knowing, beyond understanding. The dog was sick; the boys ran down the hill. In two days, the dog was dead, and no one thereabouts would [...]
