Hi, we live off a secluded forest and today whilst on a hike back from the hills we stumbled on a giant birds typed nest around a small potholing cave entrance, roughly a metre across

Around the entrance were sheep bones, shredded clothing and other skeletal remains of various animals.

We've had a few sheep go missing from here and heard that it was possibly a wolf but to my knowledge wolves can't build nests so this has left me and my husband baffled.

We were going to alert either the police or the the next towns newspaper but think we may be acting a little to hasty without enough facts to give them.

Does anyone know what kind of animal this could possibly belong to?

A very large Owl, possibly.

Do owls live in caves and eat sheep?
It can only be an Orc's nest. Did you notice any disorientated arabic looking sailors wandering around.
Depends how big they are, once they get above a certain size/weight, tree dwelling becomes impossible for them!
An albatross.
Phoenix.

Oh come on guys, my sister told me this was the best place to get informative answers to your questions and not a comedy stage.

To any SERIOUS posters, there was a very unusual and extremely pugnent stench coming from the nest and surrounding areas, almost like the smell at a zoo when around horses, elephants, rhinos etc..
No...........a Condor. They are huge. Do you live in South America?
Got any pictures of the 'nest'?

Ah, that condor moment!

No as we hurried away in fear and didn't think it was safe to stand around taking pictures with a flash in case we scared or angered the creature who could've been in the cave or watching us from the foilage.
Well this is a UK site - we don't have wolves therefore your post could be (and has been) taken as a windup.

If you say where you are located you'll stand a better chance of a serious answer.
My guess would be a pterodactyl- remember Jurassic Park?
bibblebub is obviously a Final Fantasy player ;)
If you are being serious then supply the following info;
country
latitude
altitude
type of forest
mammalian or birds faeces near the nest?
Ah yes Prudie, the well known documentary Jurassic... By jove, I think you've cracked it ;o)
