The Fen Werewolf -With Pictures!

[gordi]

Love cryptozoology but this?
They need to eat so I figure a trail of death, livestock, that sort of thing should be an obvious issue.
Additionally it wouldn’t be just a single animal, at least a mate, offspring, expect it to live in a pack. So,stay, maybe at the least two, killing at least two sheep,,cows, whatever a week to feed on. A farmer would notice that and go hunting

That and the photo, just seems a bit off, ankles, feet, very thin and small for a large body.

Also the standing up thing, just not natural enough for me

I know what you mean, such a small country and even though over sixty percent of the land isn't 'inhabited',
the idea that  such a creature could remain unnoticed is doubtful. Paul Sinclair -a researcher from that area,
has reported many of the livestock being slain and it seems that farmers in that location just take it as part
of the life.

But the image does look suspect.

I think the images in this case, whilst a bit creepy, do look suspiciously fake to me.

I'm not 100% sure about this particular case, but the vast majority of ones that I've looked at, seem to occur in areas with a very high natural wild population of deer, rabbit, hare, etc.

If these creatures do exist, they may have quite a large range to hunt over...
If their territory includes, let's say 20 small farms? and half of their diet is from the wild animals...
Then an average of 2 kills a week would equate to 1 domestic (non-wild) kill a week... and so might only hit each individual farmer's stock once every 20 weeks (5 months) or so?

Obviously, if the bulk of their diet is actually wild deer etc, then those numbers could reduce quite significantly.

Just FYI... I live in the rural part of west-central Scotland, and I can count at least 12 farms within just 2 miles of my home here!
If I extended that range out to even just 5 miles there would be literally hundreds of farms...

Most farmers wouldn't even bother to report a missing sheep here, especially if it only happened once in a blue moon.
Given that... I wouldn't be too surprised that a large predator(s) could go undiscovered for years.

(*I've seen with my own eyes, on two separate occasions, what I believe looked like a puma/mountain lion near here. And... We don't have any puma/mountain lion in the wild here!)
