The Maine Tree Creature...What Is It?




Enhanced (SW)


Click for video

Well, this photo showed up on the 'Coast to Coast AM' website the night before last. Loren Coleman at Cryptomundo asks if this is the 'First Blobsquatch of 2010?'

There has also been some suggestion that this may be a North American Porcupine, which is the second largest of all rodents. It has a small head, a large, chunky body with a high arching back and short legs. Its head and body are 25 to 40 inches long, with a long, thick, muscular tail growing as long as 8 inches. It weighs from 10 to 40 pounds. In the winter, they mainly eat conifer needles and tree bark. They do not hibernate but sleep a lot and stay close to their dens in winter.

Anyway, IMO, it is most likely a North American porcupine unless someone can come up with more definitive evidence that it is not. Declaring it as a primate of any species in the order cannot be substantiated just with the video. On the other, if it is a porcupine, it is one of the largest examples I have seen...Lon
