Portia's Mystery Animal Identified!

Tuesday, May 31, 2011 • Ellen's Life • (46) Comments

While vacationing in Tucson, AZ, Portia found a book of native animals of the Southwest. Inside, she uncovered the answer to an ancient mystery!

Months ago, Portia saw a mysterious animal in her backyard in Beverly Hills that no one seemed to be able to identify. A police sketch was made, experts were called, and yet no one could verify the species of the curious critter.

Since Portia was the only one to see it, vicious rumors began to swirl that perhaps the animal didn't really exist at all. Then, suddenly, on the ride home from Tucson, Portia looked through her book -- and there it was!

It's called a Javelina, and it exactly matches the detailed account of Portia's sighting. We've posted the police sketch so you can see for yourself. Portia de Rossi, your name has been cleared.
