The Ioway, and several other Native American indigenous tribes in the region of Montana, called the creature Shunka Warak’in, which translated means: 'carrying off dogs'. It was told that the beast would creep into camps at night and steal dogs.

Also known as 'Ringdocus' - The name given to an unidentified canine shot by Israel Hutchins, a Mormon settler in Montana in 1886. He had it stuffed by a local Joseph Sherwood, who put it on display at his general store near Henry's Lake, Idaho until the 1980s when it mysteriously disappeared. Though later re-discovered, the creature was displayed in the Madison Valley History Museum when it reopened in May 2007.

DNA testing has never been conducted on the animal.
Beasts that fit the description of the Shunka Warak'in / Ringdocus are still sighted to this day...

As featured on the cover of DAVID WEATHERLY’s book -
‘PALMETTO STATE MONSTERS - CRYPTIDS & LEGENDS OF NORTH CAROLINA. With a foreword by Micah Hanks.

In the folklore of Lee County, South Carolina, the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp (also known as the Lizard Man of Lee County) is an entity said to inhabit the swampland of the region. First mentioned in the late 1980s, the purported sightings and damage attributed to the creature yielded a significant amount of newspaper, radio and television publicity.

Was it a deformed or 'burn-victim-bigfoot' wearing an alligator pelt...? Or a real 'Lizard-Man'...? or was it something else entirely...?

Here's my rendition of the Texas Pterosaur - (human-made artwork - NON-A.I.)

These flying reptiles, named 'Ropens' by some, are seen in several places around the globe to this day... Some are reported to be seen flying around in Cuba, some in Papa New Guinea... Many variations of these 'living pterosaurs' are reported from all over the United States.

This print depicts one of the many 'Texas Pterosaur' sightings as described by a variety of people... some as recently as 2017.

This is a particular favourite subject of mine... living dinosaurs and their cousins!

Have you seen one?
What do you suppose it could be if not a pterosaur....?
