Here is a photo of a rare cave painting found in Texas. The animal is believed to be the elusive, palomino tiger-horse. Rumored to be extinct, a sighting was made this year in Richmond, TX. The tiger-horse was said to be smart, stealthy, and very affectionate when approached.

Here is a more recent photo taken this year in the late afternoon.

The creature, a mare, was seen eating the hay set out for her own horses.

Are you certain that this isn't a mutated zebra from one of those Texan exotic animal safari farms where nimrods go to shoot things? Be careful. This thing might have rabies.

I've seen many Tylacinos (did I?) but never such a huge one!
