Uncatalogued Species of Indonesia

Over the past four years, I have visited Indonesia twice.  On top of mountains in West Java, on the highways, in the tea fields, and in urban Jakarta....I've seen much of this beautiful country.  While there, having put on my cryptozoologist hat, I took the liberty of sketching some neat organisms unseen by most of the civilized world.  Sit back and enjoy the wonderment of these four of God's creatures that walk just beyond the shadows. The following sketches are direct from my travel journal.

1. Ngeri Laba-Laba

This creature grows to 50 centimeters in length.  The Ngeri Laba-Laba traps rats and small children in it's web, and drinks their blood.  Usually found in damp, dark caves, our small friend has never been photographed.

2. Menjerit Bintang

Grows to 100 centimeters tall and has been spotted in the sewers of Jakarta.  Usually a pale yellow in color, however, immediately after feeding, turns light red.   This star shaped being eats small animals and municipal employees who maintain Jakarta's sewer system.  Never photographed.

3.  Hijau Sea Serpent

Grows to 15 meters in length.  This long enigma lives in the seas near Java, but has been sighted in the South China Sea.  The Hijau Sea Serpent (known as Hiya to Jakarta school children) feeds on dolphins and SCUBA divers, and is known to sink small row boats.  More than 10,000 deaths have been attributed to attacks by this creature since 2005.  Never photographed.

4.  Sumatran Sacalog

This fellow is a simian-type being which can grow to four and a half feet tall.  This carnivore smells like a skunk and lives in caves.  The Sumatran Sacalog feasts on dogs, birds, and small children.  This species, though never photographed, has been sighted in Sumatra, West Java, and Munich, Germany.
