2013-09-03 - Group of 'jackal-like' creatures attacks and injures 18 people in Khanugaon (India):
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20130905-40818-IND
Quote: "A group of wild animal resembling a jackal has led to panic in Khanugaon locality of the state capital after having attacked and injured over 18 people during past few days. So much so that people have stopped moving out during the night in the locality along the banks of Upper Lake at the VIP road side. A team of forest staff that was deployed to identify and catch the animal have failed and remain clueless."
Note: Maybe these are a completely new lifeform, possibly a genetic chimera, a blending of two species. In that case, they may be some type of jackal-dog chimera, or hyena-jackal, or something like that. There was a story a year or so ago (sorry, didn't save the link) where a hunter was shooting at some wolves or coyotes and one of them STOOD UP ON TWO LEGS AND RUSHED HIM. The pictures of that creature, if that was legit, and it may have been, looked like that may have been a wolf-human or coyote-human chimera. We may end up seeing all kinds of stuff that seem like creatures of legend. In fact, this process, occurring at a low level, may have been the basis for many legends and myths from the past: satyrs, werewolves, sasquatch, pixies, giants, minotaurs, mermaids, etc. The reason I think it's viruses that act as the genetic data transfer vehicle is because that's what WE use to deliver genetic information with gene therapy, so maybe nature does the same thing when the conditions are just right. This means new lifeforms - possibly partly human - can spring up anywhere at anytime now. Think about the implications...

Note: A shark just attacked and injured a boy the day prior too, at a beach in St. Augustine (Florida). Hawaii is also being hit with an unprecedented number of shark attacks, as mentioned in the 2013-08-23 update. From the full hypothesis: "Predators will attempt to adapt to the changes in the biosphere and may turn to our pets or to us as an alternate source of nutrition." With all the worldwide fish die-offs, pickings are likely getting slimmer for sharks. We're not their ideal choice for a meal, but we're handy and they're getting hungry, and we're edible, soooo...
