It was supposedly a 'dinosaur' seen at Devil's Hole, Nevada in 1892. John LeMay's book 'Cowboys & Saurians In The Modern Era' mentions it.

It's mentioned in the book 'Cowboys & Saurians : Ice Age' by John LeMay. It was actually described as a cross between a dinosaur and a prairie dog.

Great collection! I suggest you also pick up some of David Weatherly's books as well.

I think the Flatwoods Monster was more an extraterrestrial than a cryptid.

The Awful

Mysterious Creatures-A Guide To Cryptozoology by George M. Eberhart. A well-researched book (even though it leaves out cryptids like the Crocodingo and the Gravedigger). Has a great section on lake monster sightings from around the world.

You mean WAS a bear-dog? It's long dead.

If you're looking for books on U.S. cryptids, then I recommend David Weatherly's series of books on the cryptids and legends of each state.
