	Holy mackerel! This might just be one of the top 3 PODs of all time (you'd have to go a ways to beat the image of PJ's mermaid from way back)! An EXTREMELY rare photograph of the fabled Two-Headed Quetico Amphibious Wood Shrew! I can hardly believe my eyes! It's right up there in terms of elusiveness with the legendary Pollyhumper (the other top POD contender). In the distant past, those three creatures ruled the north lakes with impunity. Sadly, I fear they are all near extinction these days. Quite fortunately, you encountered just a pup. Had she swam nearby, the Momma's wake, alone, would have upset your canoe and, well... your odds of survival versus her chompers would not have been all that good. Quite the shot! Amazing, in fact! Jimbo

	Wow.....and here I thought it was just the common double-headed long bodied otter. Very similar but subtle differences only someone of Jimbo's caliber could pick out from a simple photograph. Simply outstanding representation of the species. pd

	Picture was obviously taken in the spring—no antlers on that wood shrew.
