Description

A supposed little humanoid biped from mythology in East Africa. He was reported to be between 1.2 and 1.5 m (4 to 5 ft) tall with brown or reddish-brown hair covering his body, with yellowish-red or copper skin under the coat. His feet are about 12 cm long.

It was first discovered in 1900 by Captain William Hitchens, but an article about it appeared only 37 years later in the December issue of Discovery magazine.
