CUNNINGHAM HAS SIGHTING

Gary Cunningham has had an exciting sighting of a possible cryptid in Lough Auna, a small lake in County Galway, Ireland.  Gary has been an enthusiastic cryptozoologist for many years, but he didn't expect to have a cryptid sighting himself, but at 10.15 he was on the banks of Lough Auna on Thursday, June 4th, when he discerned a long shape in the lake.  The lake has a number of stories of monsters attached to it, but Gary thought he would hardly see anything strange in its waters.

     But he did.  He made out a long stretch in the distance.  At first he thought it was a line of birds, but then he realised it was one single animal, which he estimated as being 4 to 6 feet in length.  He thought it could have been an otter, but, if so, it was far bigger than Irish specimens of the European otter are supposed to be.  


I have sometimes thought  that large lutrine cryptids may account for tales of the Dobharchu  in Ireland.  It is not impossible that mutants occur which are outsize, but do not constitute a separate species.  Could Gary have seen one of those?


To crown it all, Gary also recently saw a Black Panther, an Alien Big Cat, in Ireland.
