Looks a lot like a kid I went to grammer school with.
ReplyDeleteLOL, where is that kid now eloh?
ReplyDeleteThey really think that man drove this animal to extinction? I would have to read a lot more to believe that.
ReplyDeleteThat is one fugly looking critter. I love the funny looking teeth they gave it in the drawing.
Yep, that is one ugly lookin' creature, lol. I'm not sure that early man did kill off these critters, but the article did raise the question. I just like finding whacky stuff that is above the norm to post here, and this one fits the bill.

That is so cool! I hear about people looking for the camels let loose in the desert in the early 1900s, but I'd rather hunt for one of these to still exist. Cool!
ReplyDeleteCrazy wild! I had never heard of such a beast, nor seen any renderings of it. Cool to see something new!
