It reminds me of South Park's 'man-bear-pig' and The League Of Gentlemen's freakish creations. I love it!  ;D

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Phineas Taylor (PT) Barnum would have loved to do business with this fellow. Barnum's American Museum could have added these to the Fiji mermaid section - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiji_mermaid.

I've heard this called "crypto-taxidermy", and it's not entirely unknown in the US. After all, what American truck stop would be complete without a jackalope head on the wall?
