Update: "Black Tiger" Found in Sri Lanka Cryptomundo

A 2009 report from Sri Lanka off the southern tip of India claimed the discovery of the carcass of a female black tiger, but new evidence indicates that despite the claims in Sri Lankan press releases that the carcass was a tiger, there was a translation problem involved in identifying the melanistic cat. There "are no tigers in Sri Lanka", according to this report, and the 2009 carcass was a black leopard. Loren Coleman has the report, with photographs. There's also news of out-of-place (OOP) creatures turning up with increasing regularity in the Land of the Rising Sun, as seen in the reports Alligator Gar Sighted in Tokyo River and OOP Gators in Japan. And, although it's been nearly a century since the newspaper article included here was written, no further identification has been forthcoming for the Red-Headed Monster of Sylvia Lake. Elsewhere, a skull from an Australian university's celebrated collection forms the centerpiece of the report It's a Horse, of Course.
