The animal is one foot in length, of a light flesh colour, has four legs, "feelers," and a trunk, the general appearance being somewhat similar to a young elephant. A peculiar characteristic of the creature is that it spouts a small stream of water out of each of its ears. - Newry Telegraph. (County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project)
