History related to the event
It is said that the cryptid creature was found 11 kilometers from Girona, en route from Banyoles to Olot, by some hikers who were in the forest. It is alleged that it tried to flee quickly until he was hunted. They claimed that it emitted a kind of shriek resembling the laughter of an old man.
According to the story, the being was alive for 24 hours (others say four days) after his capture. It was delivered alive to the Spanish parapsychologist Angel Gordon. This parapsychologist kept it in a bottle of formalin after it died.
Both the U.S. pathologist, John Altshuler, and the Spanish doctor, Luis Linares de Mula, after several tests, determined that it was not a normal fetus of an animal.
However, there are others like the researcher Pedro Palao and the biologists of the Zoo of Barcelona who claim that it was only a montage and that the being could be a fetus of a ruminant.
There is another researcher, Francisco Contreras, who alleges that the hunters mentioned in the story never existed and that the animal was found by Manuel Tello, a neighbor of Gerona. He alleges that Tello put it in the boat and made the photographs.
Conclusion
Given the variety of versions, there is a doubt whether if it is really found a cryptid. However, the data is exposed so that the reader judges and reaches his own conclusions.
