Hunting Season Opens for Mythical Creature
Swedish authorities have lifted the endangered species protection that since 1986 has been afforded to the Storsjo monster, a large serpent-like creature believed by some -- particularly those involved in the tourist trade -- to inhabit Lake Storsjon in the northwestern province of Jamtland, Sweden. A government watchdog group challenged the need to protect a creature whose existence is unproven. Government officials conceded that point but refused to rule out that the monster might exist. "It exists, inasmuch as it lives in the minds of people," the regional council's chief legal adviser Peter Lif said about the purported beast. In Kansas, that's good enough for a spot on the curriculum.
