Hi folks,
Assdociated Press, Dated Sept, 24, 2003, 05:15 pm
   Thought you might like this story. A farmer found a creature that weighs about 1 to 2 lbs, thought to be extinct. It has a long snout and tiny body covered with spiky, long brown hair. The worm-munching creature known as Solenodon Cubanus, lo0ng has been a mystery to zoologists, who believed it to be extinct.

:twisted:  sorry folks, they already took off the web address, I went back to it and it don`t work now. Anyhow its a funny looking little creature, it looks like a minuture ant eater.
   But the next find could be Bigfoot. What I`m saying is there is new species found all the time now it seems like.

I just tried looking and your right , it's gone . I have often wondered what other animals are out there that we dont know about . I remember watching a thing on TV with these guys that explore caves . They went diving in some of the underground rivers or lakes or whatever they are , and found a species of catfish that didn't have eyes . They lived in total darkness down there and didnt need them .
 Pretty cool .

Could it be that the website was removed because the whole thing is a hoax and it was found to be one? Thus, the site was pulled?
As a former newspaperman (12 years) I know just how easy it is to hoax the media. I've laughed about doing it with other reporters but never seriously considered it.
Recently, the world was hoaxed with an ancient ossuary believed to contain the remains of Jesus' brother, James. But close examination showed that the stone box had been tampered.
It's easy to fool the media; even easier to fool the public.

Hi Gatofeo :D
    No the article was true, the story however only stays on the internet for 24 hrs, then they delete it.  :twisted:  :roll: You would think it would be in the archives, but I couldn`t find it again.
