In the mythologies and legends of those people of Australia, there is a mythical and creepy being, according to them, that emerges from time to time in the rivers and lakes of those areas.
It is curious, since this "thing" does not have a definite description. They vary a lot from one description to another.
From describing it as an elongated being, to a kind of bear, big monstrous crocodile, or big dog of aquatic nature.
Sometimes including things like fins, horse tails and more.
According to some inhabitants of these areas, this being also has supernatural powers or characteristics that make it even stranger.
Therefore, we can understand that the blacks themselves do not know the form of this being. It could be a shapeshifter or several specimens that people confuse with only one being.
Which, well, taking into account the limitations and development of these aborigines is not a very far-fetched theory.
Being the most probable.

That plus the fact that they have an enormous fear of its mere mention.
There was a rock painting known as the Challicum Bunyip; engraved by Aborigines on the bank of the Fiery Gorge; near the town of Ararat in Victoria. According to the report of the newspaper "The Australasian" of 1851; a Bunyip was attacked with spears after killing an Aboriginal. Antiquarian Reynell Johns insists that until the 1850s, the Aborigines had a habit of traveling to the site each year and re-engraving the lines of the Bunyip; which was 'four paces high and 11 paces long'.
The no longer exists. And it must be no coincidence...
On the other hand, in 1845, a newspaper called "The Geelong Advertiser" reported the discovery of some strange fossils in Greelong.
Aborigines claimed that they were the remains of one of those strange Bunyip. After that, the following description was given:
"The Bunyip is represented as a combination of the characteristics of a bird and a crocodile. It has a head resembling that of an emu, with a long beak ending in a serrated edge. Its body and legs are like those of a crocodile, with the hind legs thick and strong, and the front legs much more elongated; but with great strength. The limbs have large claws, but the blacks say that their usual method of hunting is to hug their prey to death. In the water, it swims like a frog, and on the shore, it walks on its hind legs with its head erect; and in that position it is as much as ten feet high."
There is one detail, and that is that in cryptozoology some say that the extinct animal, the Diprotodon, is the origin of such a legend.
But it is still a theory.
Personally, beings like the Bunyip are possible, but I don't think they are as active as the Australians and some other witnesses claimed.
For me, it is a diverse species of legitimate beings that know how to hide very well. And there is even the possibility that they may have an archaic origin, such as plesiosaur-like sea monsters that survived or were stuck in time because of some temporal anomaly.
There are many possibilities.
It probably gnaws through the water masses, waiting for its prey as a crocodile would do.
It is unfortunate and fortunate that it is not in the United States.
There are probably those who have it in their hands...
