Hoad Pig Beast

The Adelaide Observer, of September 15th, 1883, reported that a certain Mr. Hoad found the decaying and headless remains of a peculiar 30-foot (9.1 m) long pig-like beast on the bank of Brungle Creek. It had, it is written, an inwardly curved tail resembling that of a lobster, and a weird trunk like appendage.

It must have been a vastly surprised Mr. Hoad of Adelaide, Australia, who, while walking along Brungle Creek one day in the early fall of 1883, came upon the remains of an unworldly creature. The thing was piglike in form, with a headless trunk and an appendage that curved inward like the tail of a lobster. Needless to say, it has never been identified.
