The law of tooth and claw

Although we live in a suburban development, it is hemmed in on all sides by forests and marsh land. Danger lurks in the shadows of the woods. Just yesterday, while walking to the mailboxes, we narrowly escaped being mauled by this unidentified, but obviously savage, beast (click to enlarge - if you dare).

The picture isn't very clear, but it looks like you've been invaded by a jackelope.

Must be the female of the species; I don't see any antlers.

If you see a larger, lankier version, it's a jabambi.

Steve: If you saw the same critter then we know one thing for sure...you're not in Australia.

Paco said...

I imagine pythons have to wear a really long sock to survive those Canadian winters, eh?
