Trail Cam Photo Of Louisiana Swamp Monster (Hyrax IMO)

It's a fantastic photo which I can't believe anyone has gone to the trouble of faking. Here's a link to the The Honey Island Swamp Monster and here's another The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry - Swamp Monsters of Louisiana. Compare the tracks to the feet of this animal: Hyrax skeleton showing 4 front toes and 3 back toes.

Everything's a hyrax with you. The description in the article doesn't even come close..plus the creature in the article was a carnivore.

ZOMG!
I had a theory that giant hyraces are carnivorous and you've just proved it!

No, there is no evidence of the swamp monster being a meat-eater. There IS evidence of their tracks though, 3 toed and some 4 toed:

 

How many herbavores kill by biting the throat?

 

That would be their unique survival strategie then wouldn't it! Only way to keep wolves from killing your offspring, then so be it!

 

Funny how CSS can find a quote to "disprove" anyone else's comments that don't agree with his contentions, yet ignores the ones in his own links that also go against his particular "hypothesis":

So hyraces have human-like shoulder joints CSS?

Oh wait, of course they do, but only the giant non-carnivorous ones. (It helps them with air travel when they want to visit Dartmoor, putting luggage in the overhead rack is such a pain if your shoulders don't work right).

 

This should be merged with CSS's other hyrax thread, imo:

Does that look like anything like a feline or primate? No, it looks like a rodent.

 

Sneaky little sods.
I didn't realise they had such good camouflage skills.

 

But what you don't realize is that they can grow into giant monsters at night. Apparently to scare off their predators!

I wonder.. This can't be a coincidence. Right?

 

I think it is Orleander taking an after dinner stroll.

tell me WTF that thing is

 

LOL! That thread reads exactly like this one. They all make the same points we are, and CSS answers with the same crap.

 

Yep. And it must be him because one of them mentioned that he (Smugfish) also has a thread on Flying Rays on there

So get this, he is even too woowoo for www.unexplained-mysteries.com! lol

 

A baby Giant Hyrax! What else??

 

My guess is if this creature only has 2 or 3 toes it is most likely a Moonshiner that is bad with an Axe.

 

I would say it is dead that is what it is.

 

The conclusions of the swamp monster are:

Sounds exactly like the European sightings imo. The swimming arm-over-arm instead of doggy paddle is interesting. More independent witnesses of this behaviour is needed though to confirm it.
