Perhaps it could be an unknown, mara-like relative of Ceratogaulus, better adapted to running than to burrowing? Is possible, that Ceratogaulus had whiteish, silky fur resembling african mole-rat Heliophobius argenteocinereus. Abbé's pseudogoat is most likely a hoax, but the Ceratogaulus seems to be more plausible explanation than South American clawed Notungulate Homalodotherium ot even a Chalicotherid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-37381317003320677462023-06-15T13:38:26.249+01:002023-06-15T13:38:26.249+01:00The little rose-horned creature has always fascina...The little rose-horned creature has always fascinated me. I thought I'd have a little look for uninhabited places not too far from Fredericksburg. 150-200 miles SW of the town lies a sparsely populated area in the Mexican state of Coahiula. It looks to be the south side of a mountain and its foothills. The area is all ridges and valleys, quite green, and several rivers flow from it. On a map of Comanche territory c. 1840, it's just outside Comancheria but well within the area labelled Comanche Raiding Zone. A little further SW (but still within the raiding zone) are seemingly taller ridges, sparsely populated on their peaks, green especially on the NE side.<br /><br />On Google Maps, the names El Durazno, El Granizl, and Burroel appear near the center of the first-mentioned region, but there doesn't seem to be any habitation associated with them. In satelite view, I can't see so much as a farmhouse. <br /><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fredericksburg,+TX+78624,+USA/@28.8311791,-101.6632468,58886m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x865bc054afb26a77:0xc4af3bb05f31c29b!8m2!3d30.2752011!4d-98.8719843!16zL20vMDEwMXJ0?entry=ttu" rel="nofollow">map link</a><br /><br />Some aspersions have been cast on the accuracy of the Comanche territor map I used, (<a href="https://i.imgur.com/gyUirlp.jpg" rel="nofollow">link</a>,) but it seems close enough. The Comanche were expanding southward in the first half of the 19th century, and if I understand right, it looks like they raided to the southeast in preference to fighting the heavily defended white settlers.Ethan Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477704222423568933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-41392629231560576882011-03-22T21:41:33.434+00:002011-03-22T21:41:33.434+00:00The first two creatures seem suspiciously like a h...The first two creatures seem suspiciously like a hoax. The last one I recall you mentioned in the article on Malagasy living giant lemurs, like the tratratratra. Unfortunately, the tokandia is probably on the verge of extinction. It seems a shame that in this fascinating article, the only creature that happens to exist may be one of the rarest cryptids on the planet. But otherwise, good work on this page. A very good article as all your articles are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-47266313654965171582011-02-25T16:46:35.591+00:002011-02-25T16:46:35.591+00:00The Indian Tygomelia seems to be a late surviving ...The Indian Tygomelia seems to be a late surviving Sivathere while the American one some sort of Antilocaprid. I believe a young Sivathere may have really looked like a Pronghorn-like animal, hence the wrong connection made between those two cryptids. I would like to add both Antilocaprid and Sivathere are closely related to Giraffes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-86853587086776947012011-02-25T14:10:09.012+00:002011-02-25T14:10:09.012+00:00Very interesting creatures.
