New Creature Found- "Oriental Yeti"
A bizarre creature, dubbed the “oriental yeti”, has baffled scientists after emerging from ancient woodlands in remote central China. The hairless beast was trapped by hunters in Sichuan province after locals reported spotting what they thought was a bear. One hunter, Lu Chin, said: “It looks a bit like a bear but it doesn’t have any fur and it has a tail like a kangaroo. “It also does not sound like a bear — it has a voice like a cat and it is calling all the time — perhaps it is looking for the rest of its kind or maybe it's the last one. "There are local legends of a bear that used to be a man and some people think that’s what we caught," he added. Now stumped local animal experts have shipped the mystery beast to scientists in Beijing for DNA tests. |

Re: New Creature Found- "Oriental Yeti"
It has a long tail and the hindquarters of an animal other than a bear. But yeah, probably just some ordinary critter with a disease. I thought "wallaby" when I read about the tail but the feet aren't right. It's so hard to tell when it's hairless - all hairless mammals look the same!! Maybe a member of the weasel family (which also includes otters, badgers and the wolverine)? Wish there was footage of it in an enclosure large enough for it to move around, or at least see the tail!
