Australia surely has its share of uniquely evolved, strange creatures. Yet what it isn’t usually known for is its bipedal, elephant-like humanoid beasts. Starting from the late 1960s, one area of New South Wales was plagued with a series of sightings of something wholly unlike anything else known to inhabit these lands, and which not only stirred up a media frenzy but became one of the weirdest cryptozoological mysteries of all time.
The bizarre tale of the elephantine humanoids begins with the first sighting in 1968. It was in this year on April 3 that a woman named Mabel Walsh was visiting Narrabeen Lake, which is a rainforest choked estuary along Sydney’s northern beach in New South Wales, Australia, when she saw a peculiar sight. Walsh had been driving with her nephew along a stretch of the Wakehurst Parkway, which parallels the lake, when she says they saw a strange humanoid creature wading about out in shallow water. The creature was described as being bipedal, around 4 feet tall, with rough, grey leathery wrinkled skin like that of an elephant and legs that were stout, round and thick, with a set of forelegs that were noticeably shorter. Walsh explained that whatever it was had a snouted head that looked somewhat like that of an anteater and had small eyes. She could not recall seeing a tail or ears on the beast.
