It could have been a fox or possibly some other member of the canidae, I've seen one and more often heard it upto the '80s. A pesky chicken lifter and a howler.
any information on the porcupine ? Konkani salandor (= barbed rat) ? this animal's name sometimes turns up in the etymology of Saligaon. agnelo > Message: 10 > Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2004 03:07:03 +0530 (IST) > From: "Frederick Noronha (FN)" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Goanet]Wildlife in Goa... > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > PS: Sadly, the foxes which the village I stay in > (Saligao) was once famous > for, have vanished within my living memory.
