If you ask a wildlife official from Missouri if the state has wolves, you're likely to get an interesting response. The official comment is no, but the long answer is a lot more complicated when it comes to wolves in Missouri.
I have fished much of my life in Missouri and I'll never forget the first time I came across a large number of fish floating near the shore dead as a door nail. It always made me wonder exactly what in the world would cause so many fish to suddenly go belly up? There is some science at work although there's still an air of uncertainty about it all.
Missouri has a lot of caves and a lot of creatures that live in those caves. A general rule of thumb is it's not a good idea to investigate every little sound you hear coming from one. One explorer learned this lesson the hard way as a video proves.
The thought of a Missouri man claiming that he not only saw a Bigfoot, but the fact that he believes the creature gifted him a deer without a head is probably laugh-inducing. He seriously believes this happened and I happen to believe he is telling the truth.
I consider myself a natural-born skeptic and a new scientific paper won't be changing that outlook anytime soon. It makes a wild claim that feral hogs are actually good for Missouri.
What you're about to see is not from Texas even though it looks like something that would be way more common in the Lonestar State. It's an armadillo that was spotted on the run in extreme east-central Illinois and I have a photo to prove it.
We're not far into 2024 yet and already the year has gotten stranger. This is just one example. After a rash of almost constant mountain lion sightings in Missouri in 2023, these big cats have seemingly just disappeared. Why the sudden scarcity of sightings?
The Big Piney River is one of the more underrated waterways in Missouri. While it's a beautiful area, sometimes strange things happen in that region. That has never been more true than an encounter where a man claims he witnessed a Bigfoot attack a pack of wild hogs.
