Fortunately their are still huge swaths of undeveloped swamp and forest in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi where the IBWP could still be living. Most people wouldnt know one if they saw it.
There is still a lot of swamp and forests in Alabama too. There are critters in there that are not there according to the experts. Large cats for example. Another non existent animal that’s not here is the fisher cat. Big weasel looking animal. My Great Dane killed one right in front of me. By the time I got a camera, the dogs had run off with it. I found out what it was years later.
