"beast" news and stories

Yes, really. Folks in the town of Felton, England, near Newcastle, claim that a giant rabbit has been tearing through their vegetable patches and eating their crops. As you might expect, there have been plenty of references to Wallace and Gromit. Felton residents have even posted an armed guard, according to a Reuters article. Witnesses say that the beast is black and brown, with one ear longer than the other. The bunny pictured here is a German breeding rabbit, just to give you an idea of what the people of Felton may be dealing with. Breeds such as the Continental Giant commonly grow to this size, according to an AFP article about the Felton monster.

Perhaps this beast has learned to swim and is also responsible for the Massachusetts parsnip theft mentioned earlier.
