Here it is in Puerto Rico with Nick Redfern drinking cervesa.

BIG CAT NEWS: And the beat goes on (for 'beat' substitute 'The Beast of Copthorne')

Karl Shuker writes re the latest episode of the Beast of Smallthorne saga:

Hi Jon,

Looks like someone's spoofed you again.

Check out the photo of a black panther cub at the following link: http://ultimate-wallpaper.com/wallpaper/black-panther-cub-1nngm6/This photo has been used as the basis of the Smallthorne cub photo, by having been darkened, and tilted very slightly to the left. Also the outline of the cub's head has been changed, and leaves etc overlain, but if you check the eyes of that cub and those of the Smallthorne cub, you will see that except for having been darkened a little they are identical in every smallest detail, as is the upper edge of the nose and the distance between eyes and nose.

To show you what I mean, I've mocked up a rough comparison (darkening the panther cub photo but without the tilt and outline changes), which I'm attaching here.

All the best, Karl

Admittedly I thought it was a moggy rather than a panther...

VIDEO OF CHUPACABRAS VICTIMS

My Spanish is nowhere near good enough to translate this. I acn only do it if I am face to face with someone and waving my arms about. Is there anyone out there in bloggoland who can translate this for us?

Scott Corrales has covered this news story:

Michoacán's Diario ABC reported the strange deaths of 35 sheep in the town of Parácuaro. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of 1 March 2012. The boides presented claw and tooth injuries; the majority of the injuries were under the neck, as if sliced by a razor. The person who looked after the sheep pens stated that he saw the entity that attacked the animals: it had fangs, claws and wings, and moved very quickly.

I think that this is highly unlikely to be real, but it is rather well done. File under: intriguing...

RSPB: Tell George to Wake Up

Tell George to wake up! Dear Supporter As well as telling us how much more we'll have to pay for a pint of beer or a litre of petrol, the UK Budget provides a test of the Government's commitment to the environment. Last November, the Chancellor described hard-won legal protections for our most precious wildlife sites as a 'ridiculous cost on British business'. Smart growth Watch our Wake Up George animation to see what things could be like if he takes a different view later this month. The current economic crisis means the Chancellor needs to deliver economic growth and create jobs. But we don't believe that the environment is a barrier to success. It is crucial to our well-being and our economic performance. We want smart growth that does no environmental harm. Help George do the right thing Please step up for nature and e-mail George Osborne today - it only takes a couple of minutes. Urge him to use his Budget statement on 21 March to put the environment at the heart of the UK's economic recovery. Thank you for your support. Martin Harper Conservation Director PS We'll be in touch again at the end of the month to let you know what effect our efforts had on the budget. Let's hope the Chancellor listens and decides to step up for nature too! E-mail George Osborne
