In 1852, locals from a village near Draria, Algeria, came across a creature that had never been seen before. While making their way through the surrounding forest, a group of villagers came upon a large tree in a somewhat open area. As they continued their trek forward, one of the villagers took notice of what appeared to be hair growing around the diameter of the tree trunk. Perplexed, the witnesses moved closer to the tree to better observe what they truly believed was hair.
