Another area of exotic
moorland is “home” to a more legendary
animal the “Beast of Bodmin Moor”. Tales of mysterious
large animals abound all over Britain and photographs, and even films
have been taken of these beasts, but there is little physical evidence
to support the sightings. That was until recently when a 14 year old
boy discovered a skull with large fangs, in the River Fowey on Bodmin
Moor in Cornwall.
The large fangs on the skull
made the boy’s father wonder if
it could be the remains of one of the animals reportedly seen on the
Moor. The skull eventually arrived on the desk of one of the Natural
History Museum mammal specialists in London’s Cromwell Road, where
Daphne Hills began to hunt down the mysterious Beast. An area of great
natural beauty and moorland walks, without or without evidence of the
Beast, Bodmin Moor is well worth visiting.
