Cryptomundian coleboy1979 brings this post from 2006 back to current relevance: Mystery Photo: Arkansas Mystery Critter: Name That Skeleton
Here’s the original post:
I don’t have any background for this photo. I found it on the ‘net somewhere a few days ago. I don’t even remember where. I wish I did. It was simply titled Arkansas skeleton. I don’t even know if it is crypto-related, but I seem to remember that it was implied.
Maybe the astute readers of Cryptomundo know something about this mystery skeleton. Or it could turn into a wild ass guessing game. Weigh in with your thoughts and opinions on the identity of this “Arkansas Mystery Skeleton.”
This is coleboy1979’s comment:
Even though this is a old post, I would like to add my comment. To just help clarify a few facts.. This story is very true, and I lived around 5 miles from where it was found. The gentleman that found it at the time, was an Uncle of mine (by marriage) his Name is Frank, we’ll leave it at that.. He came across it while hunting and thought it was strange, but hiked on to hunt, and as the sun was starting to set while leaving the woods, he as the Intelligent man that he is decided to go back by the bones to get a better look, and then confirmed that there’s something not domestic about it. so he choose to hang on to it, and later had many scientist do analysis on it which returned no known results, to my knowledge it has never been identified…….Alien????????? very COOL!
In 2009, some additional information was brought forth in a comment to the original post:

I would say to check out the book “Follow The Signs” by Dayne Chastain ISBN 0-9660797-0-1
It has a pretty good account of this creature. The hair is one of the things that got me. Aluminum, Silicone, Calcium, and Copper!! and no DNA

I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
No idea.
Here are a couple of links about the skeleton. The 2nd one has a close-up of a different view of the skull & neck. The vets who examined it believed it to be something like an alpaca, a llama, or something like that.
Large number of molars – Herbivore, deer, sheep or goat
Bobbed wire is correct. I have “Follow the Signs” by Dayne Chastain and there is a story about it in the book. The book is about 25 bucks on Amazon.
