Beginning in the nineteenth century, all the way through 1932, an odd creature was often reported to have been seen in Australia. The "bunyip" was semi-aquatic, much larger than a retriever but with no tail, having long, black hair. It had a horse-like head and long ears, but was never captured, identified, or catalogued.

spooky!

my favorite of the Austrailian cryptozoological sightings are the Tasmanian Tiger, thought to be extinct since 1936. one of the more reliable sightings was only 6 years ago, made by a park ranger. one day soon, we may all be able to see a live Tasmanian Tiger, if this cloning project works out.
