TORONTO - A First Nations community in northern Ontario may be giving Loch Ness a run for its money. Reports from the remote community a few hundred kilometres south of Hudson Bay say a strange creature was pulled from a local creek earlier this month — a creature some are calling a monster. Photos of the furry, bald-faced creature were posted on the official website of the Big Trout Lake community and have since caused a flurry of speculation on the Internet.


According to the website, two local nurses were hiking near the creek when they noticed their dog sniffing something in the water. The dog pulled the 30-centimetre-long dead creature from the water and the two women snapped some photos of it. Its strange appearance has led to speculation it may be the mythical Ogopogo, the Chupacabra or some other marine monster, like the Loch Ness Monster. Others have pointed out it could be a water-logged bear cub or otter.

Here's some pictures from the Globe And Mail. Looks like it would make a cute little feisty pet ;)

LOL it pretty much looks like an otter or a ferret, being dead. All of these "monsters" are just animals with mutations, photoshops or just animals being there dead selves. Some do look kinda cool though.

Mr. G,
Does this also remind you of certain concepts in your theory? :D

It actually didn't and I've thought about it after you said that, but no ringing bells. Why do you think that?

I don't know. You like this kind of stuff and you like to put some footnotes on them. :D
I thought this was another one of those.

Ah, I see. Well, if you really want to know how this fits in with my overall theory, you must know that as far as I'm concerned, there are three mechanisms affecting evolution - rather than the two commonly accepted mechanisms being genetic drift and natural selection. The lack of the third mechanism is the main reason the human evolution theory has some obvious holes in it. This third mechanism we can call the "God factor" for the sake of the argument! It introduces a seeminly "random" and geographically localized likeliness for a population to survive.

This is different from both Genetic Drift and Natural Selection in that the exact geographical location of a population with the exact same genes (resulting from either or both of the above mechanisms) determines their "chances" of survival. For all intents and purposes, this mechanism is negligible within the 12500 year cycles, but over 100's and thousands of these cycles it becomes the most significant force/mechanism affecting evolution. The fact that the human evolution shows a significant jump around 50,000 years ago is a perfect example of this since the period over which it occured is too short for either of those mechanism to explain what happened.

In essence, what lead to our evolutionary jump in that time period is a simple matter of geography and was in the making for 10's of thousands of years before that point. We had already evolved to that point at various points on earth through the two main evolutionary mechanisms. The only thing that detarmined this particular group in Africa making it through was their seemingly random geographical location. Of course, there is nothing random about it.

As related to our furry friend here and if the find is authentic, this is obvioulsy a major genetic mutation that is happening right now in species all over the earth including our own. These fast mutations are primarity caused by an increase in gamma radiation, If the specie in which this mutation occured is not one limited to that locality, then we can expect similar mutations to take place within that specie within the next few decades or even years. That mutation is not necessarily what determines their survival through the next catastrophic cycle end/beginning, but it's their dispersion through the planet that will ultimately make it or break it as a new specie.
