Mystery animal photographed on Dartmoor

[UM-Bot]

A photograph of an animal taken on Dartmoor is "almost certainly" not a big cat, according to a local expert. The picture was taken by falconer Martin Whitley, who stumbled across the creature by accident near Hound Tor.

The area inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Hound of the Baskervilles, but Mr Whitley said there was "definitely nothing supernatural" about the animal.

I'm thinking the same for the wild boar. Could be a fox too. It's something with stubby legs.

Crypto? You guys got bored with werewolves so turned to actual animals?

I think it looks like a boar,but whatever it is it,s having a really bad hair day! Strange.

It looks as though it's a humanoid, but on its hands and knees. Though I believe it to be a new type of "shaggy wild boar".

Been proven to be a dog being walked on the Moor and confirmed in the UK press by it's owner last week. Case solved.

No, been claimed to be a dog... the photos clearly do not depict a fully-grown Newfy

I'm wondering the same thing. I don't want to make any conclusions untill I can see it better. But it does look like a wild boar in those pictures.
