rashore Posted January 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Quote Chinese cultures have extensive folklore full of mythical animals, many of which are believed to have mystical powers. While most people are familiar with China’s iconic dragons, phoenixes, and guardian lions (or “foo dogs”), another enduring Chinese mythical animal is the qilin. http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2017/01/mythical-chinese-creature-spotted-on-camera/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodf3llow Posted January 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Fascinating, resembles an Elk to me.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted January 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It certainly looks like a deer family member to me. If this were a horse then it would be told apart by its footprints since deer leave 2 toe marks and a horse just one. What I thought was interesting was the view of the camera which seemed to show a very small area. It did not seem to overlook a trail or water source or even a food source. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmad1 Posted January 25, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I hate to burst somebody's bubble, but this appears to be a female Eld's Deer. Elk don't exist in China (Eurasian Elk and Moose do, but not North American Elk). They are endangered, so this is a very nice photograph of a rare animal. I just don't see this as a mythical creature. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
