LAS PERLAS SEA SERPENT

The Las Perlas Islands lie off the coast of Panama in the Pacific Ocean.  Here in 1883 the whalers aboard the ship Hope On spotted a strange sea creature.  It boasted a horse-like head and a pair of horns, which were said to look like those of a unicorn.  It had four appendages which were either legs or double-jointed fins.  Its color was brownish with black spots.  Its tail seemed to divide into two parts. 

This was not the only reported sighting.  It is said that sailors of the Pacific Mail Company had also seen it a number of times.

BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS IN UK

A number of sightings in 2015.  Such creatures, if they exist, may be extradimensional.  The UK is too small to harbor an unknown population of Bigfoot.  The only other possibilities I can think of is that they live underground or are being dropped off by UFOs.

WEIRD CREATURE IN PUERTO RICO

Puerto Rico seems to abound in strange creatures.  One such was encountered on March 30th, 2013.  Its face, with a sort of canine snout, put one in mind of a bull terrier.  It had batlike wings and its skin generally resembled the skin of that animal.  Its eyes were dark as was its skin.  It had arms as well as wings and legs.  Its feet (it had two) appeared to be clawed.  The witness was a driver named Fernando Diaz.  Details of his sighting are to be found in Albert Rosales' book  Humanoid Encounters 2010-2015.
