Our Latin-writing columnist Ingenius has done a piece on animal husbandry. We append it below, leaving it in the original Latin because of the elegance of the language.

WAS THE LAMA HALF AN ALMAS?
Odette Tchernine, in her book The Yeti, writes about Yetis. You might have worked that one out. But she doesn't just write about Yetis. The Almas or Almasty also features and she tells this extraordinary story.
At the monastery of Lamyn Hegan in Mongolia there was a lama known as 'son of the Almas'. His father had been captured by a group of Almas, on one of whom he had fathered a child. At last, the man escaped from their clutches and took the child with him. He had grown up and became notable for his intelligence and learning. He also became a lama. The source of this story was an old Mongolian who had been a contemporary of the lama in question.
Bearing in mind the recent DNA research done on a descendant of Zana, who had been thought to be an Almas, this is a particularly interesting story. Does a population of very primitive men or something close to them lurk to this day on the steppes of Central Asia?

EXTRATERRESTRIAL FISH?
I am always fascinated by the fact that so many cryptids seem to turn up in Puerto Rico, bearing its size in mind. Is it some kind of focus for interdimensional activity? Has some mad Professor in a secret laboratory been doing genetic experiments? In 1974 A.G. Garamendi caught a very strange looking fish there. It had a face and tail - well, most fish do - but also a solid skeleton, which fish are not supposed to have. It further featured leg like appendages. The creature was X-rayed and no one could tell what it was. Then another one was caught and dissected. Garamendi surmised they had been left there by aliens. They ultimately decomposed into a kind of slime.
Garamendi maintained he had not gone into the business of constructing fake fishes. However, as I have maintained before, the Ocean is large and virtually unexplored. How many new species are yet to be found in its watery depths?

NESSIE OUT OF WATER

Personally, I have always been fascinated by alleged sightings of the Loch Ness Monster on land. Here's an article on that very subject.

THIS DAY IN WEIRD
On This Day in Weird, April 19...
1995: A truck bomb driven by right-wing terrorist Timothy
McVeigh demolishes Oklahoma City's federal building, killing 168 identified
victims. Rescue workers find a severed leg at the scene that remains
unexplained, linked to none of the known victims. A second "John Doe"
bomber, described by several witnesses, also remains unidentified today.
