CRYPTIDS: Trunko

 

One of four known photographs of the Trunko carcass, taken by A. C. Jones

On December 27, 1924, an article titled "Fish like Polar Bear" was published in the London's Daily Mail. On October 25, 1924, an animal was spotted in Margate, South Africa. first seen battling two killer whales for 3 hours. it reportedly lifted itself out of the feet 20 ft and used its tail to fight. The creature would lose the fight and wash up on Margate Beach. Where it lay there for 10 days. 

The creature was given the name Trunko . It appeared to have long white fur and an elephant trunk and a lobster-like tail. The trunk was said to be attached directly to the torso and no head was noticeable. It was measured to be 14 m (47ft)  in length and 3m (10ft), and the trunk was 1.5 m (5ft) and the diameter was 36cm (14in). It was devoid of blood.

Though it's unknown what the creature was it's now believed that it may have been a washed-up whale carcass. Because the locals or those who've seen it were ignorant of how animal carcasses can decompose. It's possible that it was a globster which made it look as if it has hair.
