Piasa Bird
(a bird that devours humans)

    Lewis and Clark found this image while traveling down the Mississippi River.  The image of the piasa bird was found on the side of a bluff on the Mississippi River in Alton, Illinois.  The Piasa Bird was as large as a calf with horns like deer, red eyes, a beard like a tigers, a face like a man, the body covered with green, red, and black scales, and a tail so long it passed around the body, over the head and between the legs.
