Sheila, the early ad campaign for Naugahyde referred to the Nauga that had to be hunted for its hide. It was a fun little tall tale that we of a certain age tell our children.

Sorry Ashley Daily. Seems you’re wrong about Naugahide.

Naugahyde is a well known and established brand of artificial leather (”pleather”), made from vinyl polymer coated plastic. The product was developed by Uniroyal Engineered Products and is now manufactured and sold by a division of the same company, the Naugahyde Company. Its name comes from the Borough of Naugatuck, Connecticut, where it was first produced.

The Australian drop bear is the most dangerious creature ever…..

they love attacking tourists and have no fear of man…..

they have the same bite force as a pitbull and would have a go at anything if it is disturbed….

A lot of greenpeace people have gone missing and have never been seen again……

come to Australia if you dare…..

The wompus cat is an Arkansas thing, too.
It’s the mascot for Conway High School.
A wompus cat is like a cougar only it has six legs. “Four to run at the speed of light and two to fight with all it’s might.”

In southern Illinois, the Piasa bird is a legend. The name is normal, but the creature is not.

Thanks to a report on drop bears, which my friend Laura mistook as an actual koala, she is terrified, to this day, of koala bears. She thinks they are vicious, clawing animals who only remain mellow because of the tranquilizer-like effects of eucalyptus.

I grew up in the U.P. of Michigan, and now live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Every time I go home, I drive through Rhinelander, WI and noticed that they have pictures of the hodag everywhere! I’ve always wondered about the story, but never got around to looking it up. How interesting!
