[edit] Gibnot

14 Google results. This article depicts what is probably just a local legend at most, it contains hyperbole, and it has no sources. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you kidding. Our family has encountered these and have pics to post but do not know how. This is not a local ledgend but an animal that is exclusivly known as a Gibnot. Please advise how to add the picture to the artice start. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.194.170 (talk • contribs)

  • Weak keep. Google searches help but I saw a family's web page listing it as something they saw in a zoo. Maybe this has a more common name and should end up as a redirect but I wouldn't toss it without looking deeper. Ifnord 03:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Paca, per this page, which states "Ramon knew it to be a "gibnot", (aka paca) a beaver sized rodent that runs around in the brush." I realize that this isn't the most notable of all sources, but judging by the pictures and descriptions in the "paca" article, it seems very likely that they are one in the same. tmopkisn tlka 03:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Tmopkisn. --Metropolitan90 03:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect, nice catch tmopkisn. -- H·G (words/works) 05:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, worth mention that this paper refers to a gibnot as a "local bird." -- H·G (words/works) 05:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. I noticed that, actually, or if not that then something else similar to it. However, there seem to be more links describing it as a rodent, and those that describe it as bird don't mention any specifics in regard to species or other common names. tmopkisn tlka 06:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
