Is This Portia's Mystery Animal?

Last week, Ellen talked about the mystery animal that Portia saw, and she's determined to figure out what it was! Today she brought Portia on the show to talk to a sketch artist and a mammalogist -- with surprising results! Check out what they thought the animal might be, and let us know if you think you know what Portia really saw.

I've discovered an automatic option which locks onto the web special spots that you always knew were there but could in no way actually find them. The video I created says everything, so check it out..http://bit.ly/MiFu8k

This definitely makes great sense to me!!

Wonderful post. I learned many interesting things. Thank you)

Please Ellen change my life. I hadn't have a steady for almost 3 years. Please reply!

Maybe a Jabali? :)

Is_this_portias_mystery_animal_0428.. Smashing :)

COLLARED PECCARY!!!!

I am almost positive that it is a BABIRUSA. if one was owned as a pet, the middle "teeth" on the nose can be shaved off and would match the description

It is WITHOUT DOUBT an escaped AFRICAN BUSH PIG.

Google images and you will all agree.

Probably a possum with a pig mask.. Obviously he didn't want to be recognized and knew Ellen would have a police sketch of him made.

I think Portia saw a Tasmanian Tiger

I think it was a javelina. They are, in fact, disgusting-looking creatures!

Maybe it was a baby wombat?

iit sounds to me like it was the chupacabra it house a snout and ugly teeth and a long nasty tail. Look it up. Ull find tonz of pics. I would fainted.

I think Portia's animal could be a babirusa. I saw it on the website for the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, RI. (rwpzoo.org) Check it out.
PS We love your show! I watch it on all school vacations! Emma Kelley (age 11 )

Hey Ellen do you think the mystery animal Portia saw could have been a Naked Mole Rat??

Hi there im from South Africa and we often see warthogs and what you described sounded just like it . Its quite common to see them but i didnt know that many people would have them as pets in america strange . But i hope this helped my family and I watch your show everyday please keep up the great work :)
