Wooly, In cetrain parts of England we have the last remaining wild populations of the pigmy sabre toothed tiger. Limited hunting is available to help protect livestock and fund conservation projects. Rgds, FB | |||

FB, would you ever keep quiet. Now we are going to have dozens of yanks wanting to come to Baldock to hunt the wee cats... Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you.... | |||

FB...seriously...delete the post about the PSTTs. You of all people should know how difficult it is to get a PAC permit for one of these. At least the price is still reasonable these days, if the yanks find out about them it will end up like some of those Asian sheep at 25K a pop. Count experiences, not possessions. | |||

Last I heard USF&G did not allow them to be imported hence the relatively cheap prices still. CITES situation may have changed since though. Would be interesting if someone stateside could find out for us. Rgds, FB | |||

Good observation FB. But,in fact, it is a wererabbit. Since the Chernobyl cloud passed over this land, we have noticed mutations in some creatures. So it has been very slight. Others it has been more noticeable. So much so that a new trophy scoring system has been developed to mark these abnormal heads. The judging takes place at the beginning of April each year. The highest scores are achieved by the degree of mutation. As most of the creatures have developed canine teeth, this is one of the factors. Also the degree of antler malformation is also taken into account. Here are 3 heads I entered last April.   | |||

Wooly, to answer your original question, the skull with the fangs is that of a Chinese Water Deer. An exotic import / escapee found in certain areas of south east England. The pigmy sabre tooth tiger is a much better story though. Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you.... | |||

Great trophies and a good camera, IMO!  I have recently gained an appreciation of what you have over there on that soggy/foggy island.  I do thank you for sharing with us. L2S | |||

Not just the SE of England where there are actually relatively few, the latest distribution maps show the largest area containing them to be Norfolk and with them present in much of the rest of East Anglia, and extending south west through Cambridgeshire into Buckinghamshire. They have been present in the area between Leighton Buzzard and Aylesbury for at least 10 years. | |||

I also think they are now in the region of the humber. No doubt they hitched a ride to establish a population there. | |||

There are new reported populations in quite a few areas of England that are not adjacent to previous records but in most cases they occupy just one ot two grid squares which suggests some hitching of rides as you mentioned. These include squares in the Swindon area, a couple around Gloucester, and quite a few in West Sussex or Hants. However the nearest current record of CWD to the Humber are two adjacent squares near Grantham in which CWD were reported in 2002 and one near York which had reports in 1972 but which may no longer be there. | |||

Would someone like to post of photo of one of these creatures alive? I can't even imagine a deer with fangs! Or are they an elusive creature, hard to spot in the wild - like a jackalope. | |||

Gidday Guys, Chinese Water Deer! That what happens when you feed the deer water instead of Famous Grouse or Chivas. They grow teeth like that. I have a couple of ex Mothers in Law that that happened to. Let this be a warning! Happy Hunting Hamish | |||

I quite capitolizing it when I realized that my adopted Alaska is twice as big as texas with enough room for Wyoming left over. Not everything is bigger in texas.  I actually love Texas, pretty girls, good Mexican food, lots of nice animals to shoot at, and they occasionally speak English. | |||
