Hair is difficult to determine just buy looking at it. You need to look at it under a microscope to see the detail of the hair and then compare it to known samples.
It could be any number of animals.

Cheers Slats, yes Rusty said the same thing need a microscope, i found some to different to these ones.
The people who sent the pics they have Aunt who is going to get them checked, hopefully soon..

I wonder if there is anywhere you can go & burrow one.. How powerful of a microscope would you need & cost of one if you know?

Cheers Mate.

Hey Yowie Chaser
I'm not 100% sure of the magnification required to view hair is but I think 400x as minimum to see the cuticle scale and medulla to be able to identify it.
You can get a reasonable microscope for around $300 from Australian Geographic or there are some cheaper ones on eBay.

Rusty wrote this thread not to long ago and is an excellent reference point for field researchers to learn more about the level and methods we need to be using to document evidence. This will maintain credibility and give us a better chance of having our findings and data accepted by "mainstream" science.
