Will Carothers Posted June 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Last year I produced this documentary focusing on the beast of Gevaudan. (This was created for National History Day and I made it to state with this video) Let me know what you think... (Please forgive the overdramatism) And here is the video I produced this year, with which I placed 4th at nationals in Washington DC (I know that its content does not fit into the context of the forum, but I hope you enjoy either way. I prefer this to my one from last year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-C Posted June 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I liked the Shakespeare video. It's engaging, kept my interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummug Posted June 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks for "La Bete de Gevaudan". It's awesome imo that you produced that yourself. I always wondered who or what the beast was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gevaudanneightbour Posted July 26, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Some rumors said it rested on the edge of windows to peep inside and some people had heard it swearing, I know. But these affirmations had been more probably invented to prove the beast was the devil in person, in the disguise of a huge wolf. People didn't really think it could be a "garou". The beast had been dissecated and then stuffed after Jean Chastel sent the body to versailles , if I remember well. The studies of its skeletton showed some diiferences from a wolf (shorter snout, larger jaws, teeth at different places than a wolf's ones,...) but we were closer from a dog than a beast of brayroad skelleton. Sciences actually admited it was probably a wolf-dog breed. Your documentary is pretty cool, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafterman Posted July 26, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Will, you should check out the Monster Talk podcast. They did a couple of episodes last year on the BOG and wolf predation in general. It was really fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they said it could have been a kind of hyena although it wasn't known how he came into possession of a hyena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS_UK Posted July 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Slightly off topic, but i guess having a tamed Hyena isn't totally out of the question in certain terms...In this age anyways maybe not back then http://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz=1W4CHBA_enGB542&q=can+hyenas+domesticated&bav=on.2,or.&bvm=bv.49784469,d.Yms,pv.xjs.s.en_US.MpiVkF51mpA.O&biw=1280&bih=855&wrapid=tljp137511206698720&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=g4v2UYZy0fSyBsiygPAF#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=KzqtNFBkXcWKrM%3A%3Bn4WBsuqv0AwllM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi632.photobucket.com%252Falbums%252Fuu41%252FBullet_album%252Frandoms%2525201%252F633806773807241595-PetHyena.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.defensivecarry.com%252Fforum%252Fcarry-defensive-scenarios%252F167613-pit-bulls-kill-jogger-2.html%3B512%3B640 lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DystOpt Posted July 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 29, 2013 It begs the question can you really domesticate a wild animal or just tame them To me, and I could be way off, domestication is the work of generations. You breed an animal to have certain traits that make it an ideal pet or stock animal. Taming is taking a wild creature and through punishment and rewards making that animal more tolerant of humans, but it does not have those inbred traits of say a dog which are the product of generations of selective breeding. Could you tame a wolf? Yes. Could you tame a wild sheep? Yes. Are they domesticated like a dog or farm sheep? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
