Tasmanian Devil. The body build, some aspects of the coloration. Oddly similar.

“Now after 121 years, the taxidermy mount has been found. “

This has always bothered me about state run museums. That phrase “has been found.”

My friend was a curator of oriental art at a state museum. He took me to the backroom where there were drawer after drawer, and case after case, stacked to the ceiling, of oriental artifacts that couldn’t be displayed because of lack of display space in the oriental art section.

Some of the artifacts were crumbling from age and lack of proper climate control.

Artifacts like these need to be auctioned off to private collectors where they will be cared for.

I was thinking Tasmanian something too. Didnt they have a striped wolflike animal? This looks bigger than the Tasmanian Devil to me.

“Thylacine” or “Tasmanian Tiger,” not “Tasmanian Devil,” although I know what you mean because I had the same reaction. But Thylacines’ hindquarters are higher than the withers.

I suspect it’s really a variant Jackalope.

A neighbor lady relates the story of back in the 60’s she looked out in her back yard and saw a monkey dressed in clothes with a parrot on his shoulders. It scampered off but she called the police, who of course laughed at her.

Also in the 60's, in Oakland, CA, a man called police to report that a pig had fallen into his swimming pool.

They came out, along with animal control; looked, and told him that it wasn't a pig; it was a baby hippo.

He told them, "I know that, but if I called and said there was a hippopotamus in my pool, you wouldn't have come."

"The main prey of the shunka warak’in was jackalopes."

More specifically, jackalope bucks. Shunka warak’ini clearly werent built for speed but they didnt need it. Jackalope bucks are so territorial and protective of their harems that they charge anything entering their territory with their antlers. In fact, thats why jackalopes are endangered (especially the rare "cedar shoe"). When the rail was first run through the plains, the jackalope bucks charged the steam engines. From the Appalachians to the Rockies they run under the engines one after another, and thats why the tie beds are so deep in some areas.

When the jackalope population was no longer plentiful enough to feed the species, the age of the Shunka warak’ini came to an end.

The white man destroyed and only the Democrats care enough to save.

Its too late for the Shunka warak’ini but you can still save the jackalope.

...this book is reference to one of the most obscure creatures to grace North America's cryptozoological landscape.

You forget the specific reference.

That’s a terrible thing to do! I was calmly perusing the posts and suddenly, without warning you post a picture of Helen. Not Helen of Troy “whose face launched a thousand ships,” but Helen Thomas “whose face sunk a thousand ships!” Now, I have to go clean up my keyboard. (Who needs a rail gun when we have Helen?)

Not a Tasmanina devil. Goggle it, they have photos of them before they were wiped out by idiots in Tasmania.

The hardest thing to swallow about these cryptozoological stories is that in order for an unknwon species to exist, it needs a large enough breeding colony to sustain genetic diversity. The larger the critter, the larger the range it needs to occupy, and in today’s shrinking world, the less likely such a large critter could possibly go unnoticed.

The idea of an unknown species population existing before the closing of the West and densified settlements is completely believable. The enviro-lefties rave all the time about lost plant species but a native Dingo/Hyena-like creature is even more believable.
