Don't get your hopes up too high before viewing the short video included in this report from Luke Baumgarten. Despite using valuable webspace to post his report concerning a YouTube video posted by user Samantha13950, Baumgarten gives little credence to the brief view of the "creature" in question. Elsewhere, Dr. Karl Shuker visits the work of an imminent 19th century artist in the search for information about a possible linking of "two entirely separate taxonomic orders - the perissodactyls with the artiodactyls!" You may not know what Dr. Shuker is talking about without reading his report of the claim English artist Sir Edwin Landseer drew what was "reputed to be a cross between a New Forest pony and a red deer," as explained in Landseer and the Horse-Deer. With artwork. Meanwhile, Scott Corrales translates a report from Cryptozoology in Spainin which Javier Resines includes a photograph to show a relic that was the central piece of an episode of a television documentary, entitled "Isles of Legend," about the Balearic Islands, revealed in Spain: Demon or Spanish "Jenny Haniver"? And Sharon Hill uses a famous cryptozoologist's response to criticism from a Boing Boing contributor to piece together some advice for cryptozoology, in general, as seen in Want to Shed the Pseudoscience Label? Try Harder.
