Various descriptions of SALTIE, the Sea monster of Saltsjöbaden, near Stockholm, Sweden. (Richard Svensson/Fortean Picture Library) In July 1920, Einar Oberg saw two snakelike animals, 6 feet long, swimming off Svenskär, Västernorrland County. Source: GUST Zoology, accessed in 2001, http://www.bahnhof.se/~wizard/cryptoworld/ index219.html. Salvaje WILDMAN of South America. Etymology: Spanish, “savage.” Variant names: Achi (Tamanac/Carib), Conerre, Paudacota yege. Physical description: Height, 3 feet–5 feet 6 inches. Weight, 80–100 pounds. Reddishcolored body-hair. Large lips. Heels said to face forward. Behavior: Can stand on its hind legs. Has a distinctive cry like a human’s but no language. Strong odor. Eats fishes, meat, fruits, and roots. Said to kidnap and interbreed with women. Habitat: Lives in the mountains, visits the rivers for food. Distribution: Río Orinoco and Ventuari, Venezuela; western Arauca Department, Colombia. The name is also used in Chiapas State, Mexico. Possible explanation: The Yanoáma, a large group of Amazonian Indians that remained relatively untouched by modern civilization until the 1970s. They are noted for their aggressiveness and are known to abduct travelers and women of other tribes.

Sandewan Mystery animal of South Africa, possibly a HYRAX. Physical description: Presumably small or medium-sized. Completely unknown morphology, since it is known only from its trail. Tracks: A trail of bloody spots, 1–2 inches across, that passes under low branches and through narrow crevices. Habitat: Rocky outcrops. Distribution: Chizarira National Park, Zimbabwe. Significant sighting: Zoologist Carina Norris examined one of these bloody trails in the summer of 1997. Possible explanation: A hyrax of some kind, based on its preference for a rocky habitat, though hyraxes are herbivorous. Source: Karl Shuker, “On the Bloodstained Track of the Sandewan,” Strange Magazine, no. 20 (December 1998): 37–38. Sansandryi SMALL HOMINID of West Africa. Etymology: Diola (Atlantic). Physical description: Small size. Muscular. Behavior: Walks backwards to conceal its movements. Steals rags from villages for clothing. Habitat: Deep forest. Distribution: Casamance River, Senegal. Source: Maclaud, “Notes anthropologiques sur les Diola de la Casamance,” L’Anthropologie, 1907, pp. 69, 81. 472 SANDEWAN Santer Mystery big CAT of North Carolina. Etymology: Possibly originated with J. P. Caldwell, editor of the Statesville (N.C.) Weekly, in 1890. Physical description: Gray cat, with stripes from end to end. Behavior: Fond of eating cats, dogs, and livestock. Distribution: Iredell and Wilkes Counties, Roaring River, Elkin, and Piney Grove, in North Carolina. Significant sightings: Tongue-in-cheek stories first cropped up in Iredell County from August to October 1890. Later, more matter-of-fact tales circulated in Yakin County in 1897 and Wilkes County in 1899. Most newspaper accounts were vague about who saw what and when. A mystery animal reported in south Iredell County in May 1934 was said to be a Santer or its offspring. Possible explanations: (1) Newspaper hoaxes to terrorize African- American residents and their children. (2) Mystery cats, feral Domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus), hybrids, or EASTERN PUMAS that were sighted later may have been assigned the name Santer in memory of the hoax.

Sapo de Loma Unknown AMPHIBIAN of South America. Etymology: Spanish, “hill toad.” Physical description: Large toad. Behavior: Poisonous. Eats medium-sized birds and rodents. Habitat: River valleys. Distribution: Andes Mountains of Chile and Peru. Source: Karl Shuker, From Flying Toads to Snakes with Wings (St. Paul, Minn.: Llewellyn, 1997), pp. 156–157.
