This is another less known cryptid of which there seems to be only one sighting, and is probably a hoax.

Supposedly, while in New Guinea, Charles Miller came across a tribe called the Kirririrri. The natives there told him about a creature called a Row, whose description sounded like a dinosaur. When taken to where the creature was supposed to live, he saw a creature with a long tail, a horn on it's tail, a long neck, had armored plates on it's back (like a Stegosaurus) and a beak like a turtle. He also said that there was a bony collar on it's head.

Miller said that the natives had several horns from these creatures, he didn't bring one back. Miller also said he took some film of the creature, though that never turned up. Interestingly, not only is this the only ever account of the Row, but is also the only report of the existence of Kirrirri tribe. From the description, it sounds like a combination of a Sauropod (the tail and neck), a Triceratops (the head, except for the lack of a horn), and a Stegosaurus (the armored plates). A combination like that would seem strange, though it might be possible.


does anyone have any other information about this, any photos anywhere?

Well, that's odd. Some dude goes away, and comes back telling tales of a Tribe that doesn't exist and calming to have pictures that were never seen by anyone.

Could it be that he's a liar?

well he could be a liar, but then again he could be telling the truth original.gif

This story is in On the Track of Unknown Animals, by Bernard Heuvelmans, and he said it was a hoax based on the facts that Mr. Miller seemed to make up a dinosaur by using parts of other dinos. Also the tribe was never found again, the film he made was sent to be analysed, but dissappeared, and the tribe had some of the tail-horns, but he didn't think to bring one of those back with him. So basically, there is no evidence. disgust.gif

Have you heard of the other New Guinea Dinosaur the Murray? I thought that's what you where talking about. Anyway, sightings of Murray (Which is a Tyrannosaur by the way) have been occuring for years, and thee New Guinea Government even sent a team of hunters after it, but I have heard of the Row, and it does sound a little fake to me.
