Guardian Unlimited: Early sketch of Stonehenge found
Manuscript from 1440 C.E. is earliest known sketch of Stonehenge.

CNB-Scene.com: Washington County WI Bigfoot is Bearwolf

Television stations in Wisconsin are recounting the tale of a mysterious half-bear, half-wolf animal.

Krueger estimates he looked at the creature for about five seconds before flooring the gas pedal. “It had pointy ears, triangular shaped,” he said, “and they looked like big wolf ears standing up on end. That was the main feature that made me realize it was not a bear. It had a longer muzzle than a black bear, and its head was more like a wolf than a bear. It almost looked like a very large black bear standing on its feet, if you took a wolf’s head and enlarged it and set it on the bear’s body.” Krueger guessed the creature’s height at six to seven feet, but only was able to see it from the chest up. The fur was about two inches long, black, and fairly smooth, he said. “I know it wasn’t Bigfoot.”
