Description
BURU
(AKA: Jhoor)

The Buru is an alleged aquatic lizard reported from the Apa Tani valley in Assam, India. It is described as between 12-15 feet long (3.5-4.5 m), with skin like a "scale-less fish" and three rows of short, blunt spines running down its sides and back. Its head is "long shaped," and elongates into a great snout that is flattened at the tip. The teeth are flat teeth, like a human, save for a pair in the upper and lower jaw that are pointed and large "like that of a tiger or boar". A mottled bluish-white best describes the Buru's color, with an underbelly of whitish hue. It has stumpy, short legs about a foot and a half (50 cm) long, and feet that are heavily clawed. The claws, interestingly, resemble "the forefeet of a burrowing mole". It also sports a lengthy, powerful tail about 5 feet (1.5 m) in length and rowed with armored plates. These descriptions were given by leading men of several nearby villages, who were carefully questioned separately. All in all, to say that the creature is unique would be an understatement.

First Documented: 1947
Classification: Squamate Reptile?
Size: 12 - 15 ft long.
Diet: Unknown.
Location: Assam, India.
Locomotion: Swimming.
Environment: Lakes.
Social unit: Solitary.
