GLEN VAUDREY: Whole Wide World #19

19. El Salvador
After what seems like a break we find ourselves in El Salvador. What can we say about the country? Well it’s the smallest and most densely packed of the Central American countries. It is also the only Central American country that doesn’t have a Caribbean coastline, but for today’s cryptid that doesn’t matter because our mystery animal turned up on the country’s other coast in the Gulf of Fonseca.

It was reported that in June 1928 a rather large rotting lump drifted ashore, serpentine in shape and 89 feet long, so far so good. The creature was marked with black and white stripes and had a horn protruding from its head. Sadly there isn’t much more known of this mystery animal from the deep, but as the original source stated that the remains were ‘exceedingly corpulent’ it perhaps isn’t any wonder that no one got close to the beast, just imagine the smell.
