The tsuchinoko (ツチノコ) is a mythical creature (or UMA) from Japan resembling a snake. The creature is also known as "bachi-hebi" in Northern Japan. References to the tsuchinoko legend can apparently be found in the Kojiki.
Although there have been many reported sightings, no one has actually found or studied a tsuchinoko. A tsuchinoko was apparently once captured, but the captor released the animal before informing the media because snakes are believed to bring bad luck. Several years later the story was picked up by the media and broadcast on TV.

It's actually a 2 foot long snake that has been in several parts of the world. In Siberia it's been known to eat small cats and small game. When going there, i did find one, now i have to type with my right hand..lol (j/k) but really here, they do exist. They can be found in Asia, Japan, Australia and south america area's if people look hard enough. The mythical concept comes from not 'knowing' what it was, its a weird shape for a snake.
hope that helps.
