Go & look at this.

It was discussed here last year. That's a photo of one which was killed. Wild dog most likely, with an embedded collar injury. Absolutely nothing like the Beast of Gevaudan, in that there was a pack, it was smaller & we have a photo.

Enjoy your holiday. Maybe you'll see a Beenu bird instead.

I would hardly call that a discussion and I doubt that photo is actually of a Salaawa (I never reffered to Animal X) because after the massive Salaawa attack (over a hundred wounded/attacked, but i'm not sure if anyone died) the president decided each night a troop be sent around/in Egypt (or Alexandria, can't really remember) to shoot every stray dog on sight and Salaawa (especially in armant) on sight (because of the Salaawa attack), which is why it's deffinately canine or canine-like (like a hyena).

There are many Egyptians (mainly my relatives) who gave me these descriptions; it is like a hybrid between a dog and a kangaroo because it can jump high on 2 legs, or vaguely, it looks like a dog. Although I think it may be something similar to a hyena (don't ask me why) or a dog but the jumping abilty confuses me, it leaps up to the face with its hind legs kicking you down and bites your face, which is why most injuries were found on the upper bodies of victims.

I have gotten this info from newspapers (however I don't know if there are any new attacks because I only hear from them in Egypt) and witnesses in Egypt and are almost never reported in other countries (might ruin the tourism).

...I think next time I should just start a new thread cus this has nothing to do with "Silently Seeking Submarine Serpents"......this is the 2nd discussion i've had with you today! (although it's probably my fault)...yeah uhhh, after this if anyone wants to discuss i'll just sart a new thread (I feel so stupid for that!).

"Enjoy your holiday. Maybe you'll see a Beenu bird instead."

Thanks!...what's a Beenu Bird? (well I can't possibly know everything about Egypt!)

Nice pic. And I think you'll find that the Salaawa attacks ceased after '96 & the shootings of the animals in question. Why is that photo not of a sawaala? It's what was shot & comes from the Egyptian media. Could have been hyenas, though.

Good luck. Beenu bird? Folklore - like a phoenix. Look it up yourself!

"And I think you'll find that the Salaawa attacks ceased after '96 & the shootings of the animals in question."

Sadly no because there was a huge attack in alexandria 2004(5?) and there are still attacks but like I said are rarely reported.

"Why is that photo not of a sawaala? It's what was shot & comes from the Egyptian media."

It's probably a pic of one of the stray dogs who were shot, the term Salaawa is applied to many canine like creatures that attack in Egypt so there is a lot of confusion, but the real "mystery" creatures are the ones that can jump like a kangaroo, are hyenas actually good jumpers?

"Good luck. Beenu bird? Folklore - like a phoenix. Look it up yourself! "

Thanks again. But when I did look it up, these links to gems and jewels etc turned up!

...should I just make a new thread?

Sure, if you have new info on the Salaawa, you should do.

Hey

Dinokaiser. I think that you right. Salaawa this is not normal wild dog. Perhaps some strange relative to african wild dog. Have you ever new information about this animal from Egypt?
I would be very grateful if you could write to my e-mail or this forum.
