An unidentified animal rushed people in a New Hampshire parking lot, and police reported three attacks while its species and possible illness remained unresolved. Footage published by The U.S. Sun shows the animal charging a man as he leaves a U-Haul van in Lebanon. It lunges at his feet, moves beneath the vehicle and circles his legs as a woman approaches.

A video of a ghost-white buck sprinting across a Wisconsin road has taken off on Instagram, and for anyone who has spent time in the state's forests, the footage is as rare as it gets.

Only about one in every 30,000 whitetail births produces an albino, Fox Weather has reported . Wisconsin does not publish an exact count of albino…Open

A 51-year-old British mother claims she snapped a photograph of a large black panther just feet from her front door, the third big-cat sighting in the region in barely a month. Clare Hodges was taking out her bins on the evening of August 18 in the Ryehill area of Northampton, a mid-sized city about 70 miles northwest of London, when she heard a noise behind her.

She turned, expecting the fox, and instead captured an image of something far larger. The Daily Star reported that Hodges, a full-time carer for her autistic 11-year-old daughter, ran back inside her home and showed the…Open
