Bunyip

Bunyip is believed to be a spirit sent to the Earth to punish the evil. It has a huge mouth with long sharp teeth and an enormous tail like a crocodile. It is also believed to be having dark fur, flippers, horse’s tail, dog like face and huge tusks.

Some say, it is a snake like creature while some say it is furry and bear-looking. It is said that it lives in lakes and swamps, when evils come near the lakes, then it is believed that Bunyips eat them. This is the reason people were afraid of it.
The main reason why people would have believed it might be because Bunyip had not been seen by anyone, so people say it has features that an animal that actually exist in real life like horse’s tail, dog- like face, elephant’s tusk and a dog- like face. By telling an creature with features of an real existing animal will make it more realistic and believable. That might be the reason for the believing of mythical creatures like Bunyip.
