i have been watching an animal that looks like the video of the animal in the Boston video for over an hour now through my binoculars in my back yard.  I live in Pelham, AL and my back yard consists of woods.  I was on my deck spraying downward when something caught my eye in the dense woods.  I started watching it and thought it was a coyote at first until I went and got the binoculars and could see it up close.  It's hairless and its skin was disgusting! sort of grayish brown because it blended in with the bark of the trees.  For over 10 minutes it was scratching itself like a dog and then got up&amp; moved and then I could see it's tail was long and hairless.  But it did appear to have a little hair on the back of its neck.  This thing is horror movie material and I'm going to buy a camera tomorrow that could capture this from far away because I know no one will believe me!! On the other side of my backyard which is woods are other houses.  Its not enough woods to have something like this living in it.
