View Full Version : Swamp Donkeys?
Have any of you run into this animal in the NH, ME area on the AT?
I havent had encounter with a Swamp Donkey, but I have met it's cousin the Florida Swamp Monkey...

The Georgia swamp monkey(perhaps a related species) has one eye and a pronounced white goatee. Are we speaking of the same animal?;)
The Swamp Donkey has 2 eyes, is brown, has long legs and floppy ears and is usually seen up to it's belly in muck/swamp in the Northeast.

I am extremely skeptical regarding the supposed existance of a 'swamp donkey'. I would think that the large concentration of moose (especially in northern NH) would account for this. Perhaps young moose might be mistaken for the 'swamp donkey'?

I think you are speaking of the Georgorus Ogreous:D I hear the 2 are related...
are you by chance referring to what we call a Moose? or is a swamp donkey something entirely different?

OOOFA! No wonder it's reclusive. I propose hunting any remaining swamp monkeys into extinction!

Are you talking about swamp ass?
If so, it's not really that reclusive.
It usually can be found in the morning after a heavy night of mexican food and budweisers.

A swamp donkey is a moose. Maybe that term is exclusive to New England (I'm from CT).

There is always the Ga/FL skunk ape....
Swamp Donkey is a slang term for Moose up here in the northcountry. Don't ya'll think it's a fitting name for the king of northern swamps?
