'Wolf-like' creature terrifies motorists

The Beast of Cannock Chase is back - and on the hard-shoulder. Motorists on Junction 10A of the M6, near Cannock, jammed Highways Agency helplines on Wednesday morning, with reports of a 'wolf-like creature' racing between lanes at rush hour.

Motorists looked on in disbelief as the three-foot long creature, described as 'greyish black', raced between lanes, dodging stunned motorists before diving for cover in nearby trees.

I know they said that wolves are extinct in the area but perhaps(here's a shocker) IT WAS A STRAY WOLF OR DOG

Who in the heck said it was a monster?

these people think they've seen a wolf."

A wolf is hardly a monster... just not native to the area in the article.

Probably a stray dog though.

The last wild wolf in Britain was tracked and shot dead in something like 1777... If it was a wolf ,it certainly wasn't an indigenous specimen.. There are plans mooted to re-introduce wolves in parts of Scotland, but Cannock is many many miles from there...

One interesting point about Cannock Chase is that, it has it's own micro climate, and is the most dangerous place weather wise in Britain..It might only be 20 miles from the centre of the second largest city in the country but its exposed nature means that it suffers from wild climatic changes in a very short time period.. As such it is actually still , in some places a very wild area, despite it being so close to the West Mids connurbation...
