Cryptozoology has "A" level celebrities, Bigfoot, Nessie, Chupacabra, Mothman, but are you familiar with the legend of, the Egopantis?

Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger hunt for the last (and maybe the first?) Egopantis–a giant beast of an animal unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Today the head of the monster is mounted over the fireplace of the Bull Run Restaurant in Shirley, Massachusetts. They say the monster was killed in the late 1700s by Captain Nathaniel Smith. Is this a tall tale and a clever taxidermy project, or could there still be other Egopantises out there lurking?
