This sentence from the original article made me laugh out loud:

”In this instance, the family that owned the house's large dogs would bark at it, but cried and whimpered when they were brought closer to the beast.“

Shouldn't these two be merged http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmendorf_Creature

This article gave me chills. Is there any Wikipedia guideline that says articles should not be totally spooky?

More information, including the name of a zoo expert (John Gramieri, Mammal Curator at the San Antonio Zoo) who examined the bones: http://www.woai.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=4E470718-F7B0-48AB-AC65-C5A1108E62B0

[edit] Another found/killed?

I believe another was killed this Friday in Texas. Can somebody confirm this?Punk18

[edit] Pictures?

Any pictures of this thing? --clpo13 14:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I think this page had one, originally, but there were copyright issues and it was removed. - TexasAndroid 17:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

There are pictures of it here: http://www.unknowncountry.com/lufkin_images.phtml Nsign 14:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beast has long ago been IDed

This article is a mess and could be much shorter. A UT professor named Pamela Owen who is an expert in canine bones identified the skull as a normal coyote. This article is grossly misleading, there's no mystery here. I'm going to make some changes to reflect this this weekend. Capeo 18:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Please be sure to reference your changes well, and there should be no problem, IMHO. - TexasAndroid 18:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Will do. Capeo 19:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
