It looks scary. Imagine it being alive. It looks vicious. Could it be the result of some secret experiment by some scientists?

Could it be that speculation will run rampant and overtake all reason in total disregard of all available facts?

Likely not a horse (an herbivore), due to the teeth and claws.

I'll wait for the necropsy report.

yeah, well horses don't tend to have fangs, had kind of the head shape of a horse, perhaps you know wild boars, thats a possiblity although dont know why its in wales.

I thought pigs had hooves, so how can that thing possibly be a wild boar? If it is real maybe they should test it's DNA or something and find out what the hell it is as now I am curious.

good point, im running out of ideas. they did test it as being a badger but im not sure what else they have tested, it really does not look like any one animal but more a mixture of many animals in one.

I can tell you what it is not:

- Its not a wolverine. The head shape does not match too small.

- Its not a badger, the head is way too small. And it have a snout.

- Its not a boar either. The boars i have seen have major protruding tusks on the lower jaw - and a snout.

It obviously had fur, look around its neck. So it were probably shaved by hunters that wanted to gut it or it could have had some sort of disease that caused its hair to fall off. Imagine it with hair.

Note: it does not have to be indigenous to the UK, it could be an animal from abroad, i remember reading an article in a Swedish newspaper about a wallaby that were found frozen in the snow up here. It had escaped a some farm where they raised them.

Finnish folklore knows a creature called mörkö. That's what it is, no doubt.
