It’s Fish, Snake, or Lizard.
A strange creature, presenting anatomical characteristics which might be attributed to fish, snake, or lizard, has been placed on exhibition in a business house in Bicknell, Ind. No one has found a name that seems to fit the animal, or reptile, which was caught by Grant Hooper and Carl York, fishermen.
The body of the creature is twelve inches long, and in shape resembles the old-fashioned four-cornered dart kite. The head, in form, is like a snake’s, but the resemblance ends there, for four sharp tusks protrude from the mouth. Apparently the creature breathes through gills similar to those of a fish. The horns and ears, which follow closely the forms of the human ear, give a peculiar appearance to the head. The skin or hide is black and white in color.
