Texas Big Bird


This is the nickname of a winged cryptid seen flying over Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. Although it's named "Big Bird" it wasn't really described as a bird, with a long beak, a monkey-like face, featherless, bat-like wings and its body was around human sized. Its wingspan was about 12 feet across, and the strange flying creature was witnessed by a lot of people. 

School teachers noticed it and immediately gave descriptions of it, and they later came across a picture in a book that closely resembles what they saw, which was none other than a pterosaur, a species that lived until the end of the Cretaceous era. On 1st January 1976, two girls, Tracey Lawson and Jackie Davies were outside playing when they saw the mysterious Texas Big Bird. They described it as around five foot tall, featherless, bald, a long beak although a gorilla's face, but it had red eyes. The creature made a horrific screech, which terrified them. The following day, their parents noticed weird footprints of three toes in the ground. It was also noticed that the pet dog was acting scared and refused to be outside. This entity was seen several days later by police officer Arturo Padilla, saw a huge birdlike creature in the headlights of his cruiser. Another policeman, Homer Galvan, noticed a large winged figure gliding across. Another witness saw the same creature to say that it looked like an enormous bat. 

This beast wasn't only seen by a number of people. It also attacked someone, as what happened to Armando Grimaldo, heard beating wings then large talons grabbed him, tearing his clothes. He was shocked to see a curious featherless creature with red eyes and a monkey face. But he never saw a beak. Is it possible that this was another creature to the one witnessed by many people in the area that month? Many theorise it was a Jabiru, a stork from South America that has flown into Texas. This bird has feathers and is five foot tall, with a long dark beak.
