Initial data
In 1974, the monster gained national fame in the United States after Harlan E. Fordy and his friend Billy Mills claimed to have found unusual footprints in the area, as well as the body of a boar whose throat had been torn open. Ford continued to hunt for the creation for the next six years.
He was the first and only person, as far as is known, who poured plaster casts of his footprints found deep in the swamp.
In 1974, zoologists from Louisiana State University (LSU) met with Harlan Ford to study plaster casts of the creature's four-toed footprints.
A cryptozoologist from Washington also arrived in Louisiana to examine the unusual casts.
Harlan said:
"This thing was on the same level as me. I was most impressed by her big amber eyes."
Later, Harlan gave an interview in a documentary called "In Search", which is still periodically broadcast on the Discovery Channel and other TV channels.
Original news
This is a real plaster cast of the impression of the footprint of the Honey Island Swamp Monter. This cast was dontated to the Abita Mystery House by Dana Holyfield, grand-daughter of Harlan E. Ford, the hunter who found and cast the tracks. He was the first man to report a sighting of the creature and he was also the first and only man to my knowledge who poured plaster paris casts of it's tracks found deep in the swamp. The Honey Island Swamp is about 25 miles East of the Abita Mystery House. There are several swamp tours of the area.
In 1974, zoologists from Lousiana State University (LSU) met with Harlan Ford to study the plaster casts of the creature's four-toed footprints. Crypotozoologist from Washington also arrived in Louisiana to inspect the unusal casts. Harlan said, "That thing stood eye level with me. The thing that startled me the most, we're it's large amber eyes." Harlan was later interviewed in a documentary called "In Search Of" which still airs periodically on The Discovery Channel and other television networks.
Harlan Ford passed away in the early 80's, but the legend about his sighting lives on in Louisiana and across the country

Hypotheses
Famous creatures
There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.
According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.
Mutations
Mutation (from the Latin. mutatio – change, change) - suddenly there is a natural (spontaneous) or artificially caused (induced) persistent changes in genetic structures of living matter responsible for the storage and transfer of genetic information.
The process of emergence of mutations is called mutagenesis.
Mutations are divided into spontaneous and induced.
