Carbondale is 171 miles away, mostly north on I-81, from Red Lion in York County, Pennsylvania. It would seem they hardly are related. But stranger links have been made, of course.

Multiple Sightings of U.Md. Cougar
The Campus Cougar Alert of July 31st has been followed by more details of the sightings, through comments at Cryptomundo and media information. It couldn’t have wandered here on its own. And even if it could, they don’t come here….First we want to find and identify it, then get the proper people to trap and remove it. If it is a cougar, it doesn’t belong in our highly urbanized area. They’re not predatory, but it’s still not good to have a cougar running around. I have all my cameras pointed in that direction and all my officers looking for it. [...]
Unknown Fish Footage
Here is a new video of a strange, unidentified fish caught off Burgeo, Newfoundland ~ dated July 30, 2008: Appears to be some kind of deep sea species, such as the anglerfish. Humpback anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii) Krøyer’s deep sea angler fish (Ceratias holboelli), two images above. But actually, I think it may be a fish that is often mistaken for Ceratias holboelli.

Coleman vs Nickell: Round Two for Champ Week
Round One: In the otter competitive battle between the forces of good and evil, the following is the clip from CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now,” for June 1, 2007, on Nessie, which was run in the final moments of her program. It was originally scheduled to be five minutes long. At the time, my author friend Jerry Clark noted that what was operating here, in counterpoint to my view, was: The Nickell principle: “We will take up an existence by its otters.” Coincidentially, another good friend, Patrick Huyghe emailed me: “Joe was otterly ridiculous.” Round Two: Bigfoots and Yetis and Champ, [...]
Another Bigfoot Video
Let us move on to another Bigfoot YouTube video. Does anyone know anything about this one? Who or what is the SasquatchAlliance?
Steller’s Sea Ape
Steller’s Sea Ape, as drawn by Harry Trumbore, from The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates (2006: 64-65). A good overview of the expedition leading to the remarkable sighting of what has become known as Steller’s Sea Ape can be found in the November 17, 2005, article in the California Literary Review. The essay is by Peter Bridges, former U.S. ambassador to Somalia, and is about the animal discoveries made by naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller. Bridges writes that: In January 1738, Steller set out from St. Petersburg on a five-thousand mile journey across European Russia and Siberia to [...]
Stratton Thrush: A New Hybrid Bird?

The Vermont Center Of Ecostudies (VCE) files a new report, which could have implications for other studies of hybrids in high-elevation bird populations: The recent discovery atop Stratton Mountain (Vermont) of an apparent hybrid of a Bicknell’s thrush and veery, two closely related species in the genus Catharus, has generated some buzz in birding circles. The bird was discovered by field biologists with the Vermont Center for Ecostudies (VCE) in the course of their long-term research on high-elevation bird populations. The first clue to this individual’s possible [...]
Beautiful New Manta Video
The smaller manta. The larger manta, the new species. It truly is a tale of Beauty and the Beast. Dr. Andrea Marshall is shown on a beautiful new video, swimming with the recently discovered manta and discussing her discovery. The scenes remind me of the swimming ballet of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Dr. Marshall (pictured above & below) can be viewed on the video by clicking here. Quite compelling. Dr. Andrea Marshall is also pictured above. The photo accompanies her notice that she supports her work by conducting trips and tours related to manta research. In one planned [...]
35 Years Ago: Maine’s “Gorilla”
The Maine news media are warming up their stories on the Durham “gorilla.” I’ve been contacted, asking me if I heard the rumor that a zoo released an ape in 1973, in Maine. Of course, I have not and have not been able to track down any factual basis to such a rumor. Besides, Maine doesn’t have any zoos, in general, other than seasonal ones at York and on Mt. Desert Island, and certainly none that lost or released an ape in 1973. Also, one sheriff’s deputy was tracked down by another reporter, but refused to talk to the media. [...]
