In 1893, well known prankster Eugene Shephard (from Rhinelander, Wisconsin) got a large group together to find a creature called the Hodag.

"the head of a frog, the grinning face of a giant elephant, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur, and a long tail with spears at the end", the newspaper said.

Apparently, they required dynamite to slay the creature. It soon became extinct due to the lack of their food source: white bulldogs!

While there are a few notable varieties of hodag, including the shovel-nosed specimen which tips trees and preys on porcupines, the current public image of the hodag was heavily influenced by the machinations of Eugene Shepard's intricate hodag hoax.

Shepard was a land surveyor, timber cruiser, and eventual resort owner known for his humour, practical jokes, and some Paul Bunyan stories. His hodag, in particular, had garnered much noteriety. However, it was after some Smithsonian scientists had announced their intent to visit his specimen that Shepard called it quits, admitting to the nature of the hoax.
