Daily Mail doesn't believe it, but stops short of calling them bare faced liars. But wait, one of its readers says she saw it too (fifth message down). Meanwhile Fortean Times members are all a fluster, but also a bit sceptical.

There's been talk about the possibility of a Nessie like creature to be dwelling in Lake Windermere for years. I'll say it's drummed up for the tourism trade

"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."

A new study shows that the brains of female tufted capuchins become more active when they smell the urine of sexually mature adult males.
That suggests males wash with their urine to signal their availability and attractiveness to females.

Not so lucky owl
"Panamanian defender Luis Moreno could get up to three months in prison for kicking an opposing team's lucky owl which was struck by a ball after landing on the field. A veterinarian, Camilo Tapia, said the owl went into shock on Wednesday, after having been taken in for treatment two days earlier. It died in a local veterinary clinic in Barranquilla after Tapia was unable to save it."
Video included, not suitable for owl lovers.

Apparently he was experiencing some behavourial problems before he died. http://www.bbc.co.uk...gazine-12805534
Experts think he may have been bi-polar.

Hi all.
Just a thought, I had a quick look at the brief rules, and can see nuffink which excludes animals being included on the 2012 list.
O.K. It would have to be a 'special, celebrity' animal to get an obit in the press, but sure I've seen 1 or 2 in the distant past.
What ya think?
Mitzi.

This is true my form is something odd,
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.
