Your daily helping of the more, er, esoteric side of UFOs, government conspiracy, history, cryptozoology, biology, archaeology , astronomy, and suchlike. Take with a large chunk of salt, but there is some interesting stuff there :)

Thank you! Some only good for giggles, but the archaeology story was interesting. Although, reading the comparison between the indigenous people and the modern residents, my first thought was that at least the natives weren't dumb enough to pay a fortune to some real estate agent for wash-away land ***grin***

That archaeology story was fraught with mixed emotions for me - joy at what they've discovered, and distress at the weather destroying it before scientists have had a chance to take a good look at it.

I confess a fascination with cryptozoology - the "chupacabra" they found looks an awful lot like a mangy Mexican Hairless, but if there are dogs running around with infectious skin ailments, at least the locals know to bathe their pets regularly (??)

Finally got 'round to backtracking and reading this story (I'd only checked out a few of the links first time). An odd looking critter to be sure, but most shaved canids would have a similar appearance. unless/until evidence to the contrary appears, I'm inclined towards the congenital defect theory regarding the jaws and teeth ... having seen a large number of the anomalies that appear in humans, it's only reasonable to assume that other species have their survivable share as well (and a survivable defect can be transmitted to new generations, which would explain the fact that more than one animal like this has been encountered).
