Spinoff: strange creature(s) in the Amite River
Posted on 1/8/15 at 2:53 pm
Posted on 1/8/15 at 2:53 pm
A few years ago I was fishing from the bank of the Amite River in DS/Central, down by that spot where a lot of people to to go hang out, drink, party, and swim before they built the new bridge and made access more difficult. Anyway while I was fishing several times I saw a strange creature come up and "roll" on the surface of the water. It stayed underwater; it would just come up and roll every couple minutes. I think there were two, actually. I had no clue what it was -- the owner of the property told me they were river otters. Another guy said it was a porpoise, and another guy said it was 2 river catfish spawning. My memory is somewhat hazy but from what I remember it was dark-colored and had hair and it wasn't a nutria. Anybody have a clue? (And no it was not Bigfoot or aliens).

How do you know it had hair but wasn't a nutria? If you could rule out nutria, I would imagine you would be able to see what it was. I've never seen otters in the Amite, not saying they aren't there, just never seen them.
There are a million BIG gar in the Amite, they roll a lot.

I guess the could've been gar, but I could've sworn it/they had hair. Then again, I was probably drunk. From what I've seen of nutria, they swim on top of the water for the most part. Whatever this/these were stayed under the water and didn't come up for air. Gar sounds most plausible.

Amiteright or Amiterite or Amiterite?

Pretty much any mammal out there would swim on top for at least a short while (Nutria, Otter, Beaver) I am pretty sure you would be able to identify any of them. The only thing that rolls that often is Gar, and the river is slam full of them.
