Alot of you have probably already seen this as it's been on the front page of youtube for a while now, but does anyone have any clue as to what it actually is?! It's kinda cute but it creeps me out at the same time.

Awwww, it's the evolutionary step below Ewoks.

It's a caterpillar of some kind, I just don't know if it's a "puss" or not, that's what it says it is.

Is that a dog??

[blakeC]

It looks like one. Either that or some type of rpdent dressed upp, because that is not real fur/hair/whatever caterpillers have.

I think that is a close up, judging from the bottom round part on either, a chair leg, or a table leg in the shot. So, it's not big enough to be a dog, and I have never seen a rodent move like that.

By the way, how can you tell thats not real hair?


Does this hair look any better or this... You can also scroll down this page

Hehehe... after reading that it sounds like the aliens from Critters

Highly poisonous spikes in fur, fuzzy and cuddley looking.

That's, well....Kind of messed up.

It really does look too bizarre to be real, I was sceptical as well at first, but now I'm not so sure. The way it moves seems genuine, you wouldn't be able to get that kind of leg motion on a dressed up mouse or whatever. The fact that it seems to have some kind of proper face is what really gets me.
