Initial data
According to the residents of Bariloche, the legend of the "Nauelito" originated with indigenous peoples who believed that this creature lived in Lake Nahuel-Huapi.
However, this theory became relevant in 1910, when George Garrett, a man who sailed, said that the "animal" had a length of 5 to 7 meters and towered about 2 meters above the water.
To this was added the story of Martin Sheffield, a gold hunter from the USA, who claimed to have seen large footprints on the shore of the lake.
This led to a hunt for this creature in 1922, which was led by famous hunters from all over the country. Despite their efforts, which had an international resonance, they did not find him.
