Curious as to what your take on the tale of the Wolverhampton hoofprints is.  Was it as freaky as it is made out to be, or has the original report been distorted?

The first thing is that Wolverhampton is in the Midlands of England! The reported footprints were in Devon on the south
coast... the tail-bit on the left of the country. (Sorry!)


(The upper circle is Wolverhampton,. The lower oval is where the tracks were found)

At a guess, I'd go with a bird's print due to the marks travelling across roofs, but it's the total distance of the tracks that's
confounding me. If we take it that no prank was performed, no alteration due to thawing or refreezing occurred and the
standard animal that would make 'hoof prints' hadn't enjoyed clambering on cottage roofs, it limits our possibilities.


Weird!

Wallabies have been in Britain for over a century, but that's a weak suggestion, but most of the other indigenous culprits
might be out of their winter sleep by February -if the date is correct. A cat would be my best-bet.
