This is a sequel to 3 Figures From Folklore I Hope We Never Run Into. Here we go!
Grootslang
Lets start with the Grootslang. The Grootslang is from Richtersveld, South Africa. It is said to be a big elephant like creature with a serpent tail. It is claimed to devour elephants whole by tricking and luring them into its cave. The cave is known as the “bottomless pit” and it connects to the sea miles away and it is supposedly filled to the brim with diamonds. In 1917 a wealthy English businessman embarked on a journey to find the Grootslang. After his party got injured, he went on alone (not a good idea). He was never seen again. There were no more reports. Moving on to the Mongolian Death Worm, from Mongolia
(Duh).

The Mongolian Death Worm
The Mongolian Death Worm is from the Gobi desert, Mongolia/China. It is described as a long red worm. It can get up to 5 feet long and the Mongolian locals claim that it can breath acid like goo from its mouth and can kill a man with electric discharges. They also believe that if you touch any part of the worm, you will instantly die because of some sort of poison that can corrode metal. It prefers to eat local parasitic plants such as the Goyo. Many people have looked for it but have come up empty handed. Many say it can not be found because it inhabits the inaccessible part of the Mongolian/China border. Next up is the Bunyip from Australia.

The Bunyip
The Bunyip has been sighted all over Australia. There have been many descriptions of how the Bunyip looks. Some say it looks like a giant panther, others say it looks like an enormous starfish. In 1818, 2 people found some bones of what is now called a Bunyip. The bones were found near Lake Bathurst in New South Wales. In 1830 some fossils were found and were said to be 4 times bigger than those of an ox or buffalo. These bones were found in the Wellington caves. Whether it be True or False, you better be careful anyways.

Lainie Liberti is a recovering branding expert, who’s career once focused on creating campaigns for green – eco business, non-profits and conscious business. Dazzling clients with her high-energy designs for over 18 years, Lainie lent her artistic talents to businesses that matter. But that was then.
In 2008, after the economy took a turn, Lainie decided to be the change (instead of a victim) and began the process of “lifestyle redesign,” a joint decision between both her and her 11-year-old son, Miro. They sold or gave away all of of their possessions in 2009 and began a life of travel, service, and exploration. Lainie and her son Miro began their open-ended adventure backpacking through Central and South America. They are slow traveling around the globe allowing inspiration to be their compass. The pair is most interested in exploring different cultures, contributing by serving, and connecting with humanity as ‘global citizens.’
Today Lainie considers herself a digital nomad who is living a location independent life. She and her son write and podcast their experiences from the road at Raising Miro on the Road of Life.
