	Sidehill gouger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sidehill Gougers are mythological creatures said to inhabit the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and the southwestern sandhills of Saskatchewan.
		According to legend, little is known about the nature of the Sidehill Gouger as they are a rare and reclusive species, but they have one distinctive feature upon which all Sidehill Gouger spotters agree; the legs on one side of their body are significantly shorter than the legs on the other side of their body.
		The size reached by adult Sidehill Gougers is widely disputed, on the other hand; some sources indicate that they are no larger than mountain goats, whereas others attribute major landslides to Sidehill Gougers that become turned around from their usual orientation and dig their feet into the ground for stability.
