The Wuhnan Toads are gigantic, albino, toad-like creatures are said to lurk in an obscure corner of China’s isolated Hubei province.
Appearance[]
The creatures were described as being toad-like in appearance, with a pale epidermis and large gaping maws, which seemed to exceed a length of 6-feet wide. More than one of the witnesses claimed that the animals’ gazes seemed both “aggressive” and “predatory.” (americanmonsters.com)
Possible Explanations[]
There are several explanations as to what the creature could be. Theories include:
- An undiscovered species (a Cryptid)
- A hoax
Trivia[]
- According to an account printed in the Brisbane Australia’s Courier Mail in 1995, an expedition of nine scientists from the Peking University, led by Professor Chen Mok Chun, journeyed to the remote Wuhnan area in August of 1987, in order to make a scientific and video study of the region’s aquatic fauna. As the scientists began setting up camp (including an extensive array of cameras and cables) along the shores of one of Wuhnan’s unfathomable gorges, three gigantic animals reportedly surfaced in the lake and began to swim toward them. While these men of science stared in disbelief at the monstrosities bearing down on them, one of the creatures suddenly unfurled its gigantic tongue and lunged the appendage forward, snagging one of the camera tripods by its leg and drawing it back into the water. The scientists watched in awe (and more than a little terror, one would imagine) as the animal proceeded to devour its inanimate prey. (americanmonsters.com)
