Giant anteater or armadillo? Punk bear? ;-) Any pleistocene megafauna that might fit that description considering quills might not be preserved? Giant anteater or armadillo? Punk bear? ;-)

In California, Adams once "narrowly missed killing or capturing the rarest, most bizarre animal he'd ever seen. The beast, which looked like a hedgehog with the head and feet of a bear, escaped."

Where I grew up it was called the "Brookside White Thing" and some really scary stories were told by my uncle who swore to the heavens that the stories were true and he had a run-in with the creature. When I got older and even more interested in cryptozoology and paranormal phenomenon I did a little internet research and found that the "White Thing" story pops up from time to time in different parts of the US with varying descriptions of the beast, all white, but appearances typically vary from a werewolf type creature to a white, menacing, monsterous looking sasquatch.

Well, he said Like a Porcupine which means it isn't. Could be a hybrid or new. Since he said not "it's a porcupine cause of the face" and what not, then it's not. :) I think this maybe me dangerous, with the large quills. Sounds llike an animal.
