Moncton's Gazeka Identified

Monckton's Gazeka is a "famous" unknown giant cryptid which was seen by Monckton; who got off a shot and later be a British Expedition.

The British expedition to New Guinea found footprints of the creature which were printed in a 1910 news article. This guy claims to have made a "positive" identification from the prints.

Well, that was unexpected...

I don't think you can tell what an animals foot print looks like from a fossil. You can't tell how the muscle and soft tissue supported and held the bones apart.

I couldn't see anything on the article that said it had been proven?

Certainly looks interesting!

I do however find stories on dinosaurs in the present, harder to believe than other's.

But as always, I will take this with an open mind, good find, S+F.

Dude,

The footprint was printed in the newspaper back in the 1920's. The print was sent in by scientists who had seen the creature but who couldn't identify it.

Years later other scientists capture fossilized prints from diprotodon and--they are an exact match to the old prints that were sent in of Monckton's Gazeka.

Both the 1920's "Gazeka" print and the recently discovered fossil diprotodon prints were made by "live" creatures. The proof is that the prints--bith taken by scientists some 50 years apart --match......
