just read a bit of information about this cryptide, anyomne know anything about it?
Allegedly, a creature "half horse, half fish" that inhabits the Mzintlava River in the Mount Ayliff area of South Africa.
The beast has been said to be at least 20 meters (67 ft) long, with short stumpy legs, crocodilian body, the head and neck of a snake, and to have a hypnotic gaze. Furthermore, it supposedly glows in the dark, emitting an eerie green light. This exotic creature is blamed for the death of at least seven people, and several animals, including livestock. According to the locals, it kills by dragging its victims underwater, drowning them and subsequently sucking their blood and brains out. For this reason the creature has been also called "Brain Sucker."

do the natives that are reporting this still think airplanes are "big birds?"

sounds interesting. the glow-in-the-dark bit makes it sound like it was a fake myth invented for a fantasy story, though.

in the very depths of the oceans fish that grow very large and are preditorial shed off their own "light" which could explain this monsters "glowing".

Actually sorry to burst your bubble but the fish don't get very large. There isn't enough food for them to get very big.

well who knows there could still be large predators out there with glow in dark abilities, maybe it can turn them on or off...
then again it might just be a rubbish story...
