A creature discovered by two nurses in Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug has a lot of people baffled. Pictures of a dead animal with a long hairy body, but with a bald head, feet and face, have many wondering what it could be.
The body appears to look like an otter, but the hair looks like beaver fur and the hairless head and feet leaves much to the imagination.
Chief Donny Morris is as baffled as everyone else.
“What it is, I don’t know,” Morris said.
The creature was first spotted when two nurses walking around the community noticed a dog sniffing something in a creek. As they got closer, the dog jumped in the water and pulled the animal out. The nurses then took some pictures of the animal but left the body alone. When community members eventually saw the pictures they went to the location but the body was gone.
With people wondering what it could be, Morris said he’s asked some people to try and find the body.
“I’m just as curious,” Morris said of the mystery around the animal.
Pictures of the creature have been circulating by email and through social networking sites such as Facebook.
