Tsuchinoko

Tsuchinoko was reported seen in several regions in Japan, except Hokkaido and the Islands Ryukku. Even the name comes from the population Tsuchinoko Kansai region including Kyoto, Mie, Nara, and Shikoku, which means 'animal'. In the Kanto region, this animal is called bachihebi.

Tsuchinoko shaped like a snake, but paunchy such as bottles or bowling pins, and small-tailed rat-like tail. But until now the existence of the animal can never be proven (cryptid), and also had never been arrested.

Allegedly, this occurred because in addition to the beholder feel scared, these animals also directly run away if anyone saw. Some local governments in Japan have to lure money to 100 million yen to anyone who can catch these animals, but to no avail.
