    It requires a comprehension of the power of evolution over the many millenia since 40 million years ago!

    The only way to tell the size of an object in an image is if there is somehting to compare it to.

    I cant view the images because i am too lazy to register, the link did work but i dont recall any images that would prove its size.

    Even still camera have a focal lenght, depth of field, f-stops, distortions of the parallax etc. Most of the time it is hard to judge the distance between two objects and that distorts the ability to accurateyl determine the size of the object further away.

    So there's a large mammal living in the UK which, despite thousands of years of recorded human habitation, large scale deforestation and one of the most densely packed populations in the world, this 'dog sized hyrax species' has managed to avoid detection by everyone, including leaving behind no bones or tracks or droppings or anything.

    So not only does an entire species of animal behave completely the opposite to all other documented animals (ie avoiding large food sources in population centres, as I mentioned in my last post) but it manages to hide all reference and evidence of its dead from the soil record and has done this for millenia despite the south of England being stripped of most forest, all other British native animals of that size being wiped out in the wild (bear, boar etc) and the human population exploding to tens of millions?!

    Please explain to me how an entire large mammal species can not only avoid 30 million people, throughout history, but also leaves no bones or any other record of its existence which every other mammal in Britain has left in the soil.

    Common sense would say you are wrong. But you don't have any common sense!

    I was on Dartmoor just last summer. I saw ponies, sheep, cows and horses. And all of their faeces. A colony of them would be easy to spot, therefore.

    Hey, CSS, why don't you try to get a satellite image of the area, and try and spot one! :lol:

    OK, I registered at the FT and checked out the other pictures. This definitely just another 'shaggy dog' story!

    It's not a freakin' dog, it's a Hyrax!
    I've found a picture of one which is even opposed to global warming.

    Seeker, this is outside your usual territory.

    Do you as a matter of principle agree with anything which is plainly nonsense,
    or are you just winding us up?

    LOL! :roflmao: nice photo.

    No, I'm serious. It's the best fit of the evidence imo. Remember what Sherlock Holmes used to say..

    It was a dog/wolf hybrid though, as Werewolves are creatures of myth and legend, and not actually real?

    I'll highlight the simlarities between the legends of the Welsh Werewolf and the legends of the Wisht Hounds:

    Here's proof that Phlog was probably lying about the photos which show climbers in the background of the Dartmoor beast pictures. Demon of Dartmoor: Mystery beast seen at hell hound's haunt. See for yourself how she twists the evidence and hides important photographs..

    I'm pretty sure it's the former. It's somewhat of a trend with him..
