Description
Hodumodumo (translated as "bush with gaping mouth") is a cryptid from South Africa, discovered around the 1930s.
Described as a nocturnal animal that silently broke into cattle pens to kill sheep, goats and calves. It was capable of climbing or jumping over 6-foot fences with prey in its mouth and left circular footprints with 2-inch claw marks.
There were numerous attacks on kraals in the area of Graaf Reinet, Eastern Cape, and a detachment of more than 100 settlers could not find the animal.
