tb4me Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 An Ontario First Nations community has released pictures of a strange, rat-like creature that a dog pulled from a local creek earlier this month. http://news.sympatico.ctv.ca/home/contentposting?feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20100521%2fmystery-creature-ontario-100521 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 A quick check of the dentition should clear it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsTheBassMan Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hmmm, Looks a little suspect, but I guess it could be from cross breeding. I'm not sure if an otter can breed with a possum, but I suspect that's what it'd look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeyangler Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 just looks like a muskrat or something and the hair from its face has worn away in the water...like what happens to any other creature thats been floating around the lake for a week or two.

jimmer Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 It's decomposition on the face, bacteria gets into the skin and the hair slips off. The face is usually the first place this happens or around other body openings. No whiskers! Probably a muskrat or baby otter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bailey Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I'm not sure if an otter can breed with a possum,... Not possible. Opossums are marsupials, otters are placentals, two entirely different classes. You would have a better chance of mating a deer with a dog, which is still impossible.

bassman87 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) It's an Atlantic. Edited May 21, 2010 by riverfisher22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 More than 10 responses and no one has call "Atlantic". Come on what is this board coming to? Easy to identify, that doesn't create buzz however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb4me Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 ya there is no way thats a muskrat..If it were rotted it would look rotted.Decomposition looks one hell of allot worse that that. The flesh wouldn't be left intact the way it is. I'm not sure what it is but I do know its not a muskrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Local Cree know this creature as an Omajinaakoos, which roughly translates to “ugly one”. Kinda like the local girl I "dated" very briefly when I was living in Kapuskasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
