Yes I Am Posting Again

As you've probably seen elsewhere, a rare white stag has been spotted (and photographed) in the Scottish Highlands. From the article:

In Celtic traditions, white stags represent messengers from the afterlife. Arthurian legend has it that the creature can never be caught -- King Arthur's pursuit of the animal represents mankind's spiritual quest.

It is also said that for those who set eyes on the animal, a momentous moment is near.

"They say their appearance is meant to herald some profound change in life for those who encounter them -- but I am still waiting," said Lockhart.

Her dog, though, stood transfixed for 45 minutes watching the white stag, instead of his usual scampering around.


My parents have a coyote living in their neighborhood, but all the dogs do is bark at it.

In other news of mysterious animals, scientists think a dinosaur found in Mexico (one Velafrons coahuilensis) may have been musically inclined. I mean, what else are you going to do with a resonating chamber on your head?

In the spirit of weird animals, I give you a poll:

Well, sure, if it's D&D style. I have a Helm of Resistance, +10 vs. extinct sharks.
