I see we've got a few other
comedians on this Stage, like
whoever posted the craw-catfish !

Here's one who's reputation and/or legend goes WAY back to the Civil
War - the Vermont Beaver Trout !

They say it only grows fur in the very deep, cold northern lakes along the Canadian border - stories about this legendary trout go all the way back
to the early Civil War, and this was
an article printed about it in 1927, nearly a hundred years ago ! This
one was supposedly caught out of Lake Memphremagog, right on the Canadian border with Vermont !

Looks like s**mmers and/or funny taxidermists (or both ?) have been around for quite a while !

I've seen lots of jackelope but never one that big. That's got to be a record some place.

What’s up with the speed bump (armadillo)?

Definitely a Boone & Crockett jackalope!

OJ I'm from Indiana, a bit south of you. Lived there for about 20 years, then joined the Navy and went off to see the world. And I saw a lot of it. Been to a lot of places and I've seen a lot of things, runnin and walkin, crawlin , slitherin, swimmin and flyin. Been all over Texas from one side to the other, Texarkana and Houston to El Paso and down to Austin and San Antone. I saw prairie dogs in East Texas and rattle snakes and Gila monsters in West Texas. But I have never seen an armadillo. Pictures. You bet. Just like the jackalope. I've seen jackalopes mounted on a plaque and hung on a wall. And I've see "armadillo shells" sittin on a coffee table being used for a ashtray. But I have never in my 74 years seen an actual armadillo. And until that happens, I'm a skeptic. I put em in the same category as fur bearing trout and the Loch Ness monster. Crypto critters. Sasquatches. Have you actually seen one? I will also add that I lived in San Diego California for almost 30 years and I was a member of the Zoological Society and I used to practically live at the San Diego Zoo, which if ain't the best damn zoo in the whole world can't be very far behind. Guess what they don't have there? Armadillos. Why you suppose that is?

We had armadillos in Oklahoma when I was in The Army. They’re real👍

Blackdog loves Armadillos.

That particular one you have pictured is known as a "9 Banded Dillo'. They also have "7 Banded Dillos"
Armadillos mainly come out in the very early morning hours in the dark. They tear up lawns (think golf course) and gardens digging up grubs. They can't run very fast and often roll into a ball we caught by a predator.

Armadillos are also carriers of Leprosy. One is six armadillos have it.

Back in the last century when an armadillo was struck by a car people in Texas would would lay them on their backs on the side of the road. They would then place a beer bottle on the dead critters feet. The natural shape of the dillo would make it appear that the animal was laying on his back downing a cold brewski. Hilarious indeed if you ever see one.

Says you. Show me one. Who's gonna step up here and say there's no such a thing as a Sasquatch? Or that there is?

My dog Terri loves chupacabras.

There are 4 fanged chupas and 2 fanged chupas. Chupas generally come out very late at night to steal chickens and geese and of course to attack goats and suck their blood. They are able to run very fast and are very rarely attacked by predators. I don't have a photo, they are very elusive.

Hi Spirit,
I actually had an encounter with one outside of Orlando in 1981. My buddy and I visited his Aunt and Uncle for a day or two. They let us crash on their sun porch. We went out bar hopping and played pool against the locals for cocktails for a few too many Tanqueray and tonics and as we tried to sneak into the porch after bar time I had an armadillo walk right between my feet in the moonlight. I had to ask Uncle Si if I actually saw what I thought I did and he confirmed they had one living under their porch. I believe they do their stuff at night as there were a few napping on the side of the highways as we drove around. 😉

We may or may not have Sasquatches around, but we have the Hodag Up North…many after bar time sightings!

Reminds of the jackalope here in NM

I saw a Sasquatch Crossing sign this morning. I din't have my phone with me or I would have snapped a pic. (Which I guess that means the sign didn't exist!)

Still it begs the question, if such an animal doesn't exist, then why would they put up a crossing sign?
Nah, you don't reckon the parks and wildlife Dept. was just foolin' with folks do ya?
Can't Be true.
