Gazeka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gazeka, also known as Monckton's Gazeka or the Papuan Devil-Pig, is an obscure cryptid, a hypothetical or perhaps mythological animal, said to have been seen on Papua New Guinea in the early 20th century.
It is said to resemble a tapir or giant sloth, having a long, proboscis-like snout, and some theories suggest it may be the descendant of an extinct marsupial.
