                                               Japanese Crypdid the Tsuchinoko 


 
the tsuchinoko is often described as a snake-like cryptid.

According to legend, some tsuchinoko can  speak although they seem to have a propensity for lying, and they also apparently enjoy the  taste of alcohol.

According to some legends   it will sometimes swallow its own tail so that it can roll like a wheel similarly to the North American Hoop Snake..

=====

In Japan, its name is ツチノコ or 槌の子.

They are reported to be between 30 and 80 cm long. 12 to 30 inches in legth.

 The Tsuchinoko is thought to live in Western Japan, including Kansai and Shikoku.

The name "tsuchinoko" is used in Western Japan, however it is known as "bachi hebi" in Northeastern Japan.

The tsuchinoko is said to have a thin head and tail, with a wide body in between.




 It is also thought to have fangs and venom, similar to some snakes and may be  able to jump up to a meter in distance  according to some versions of the legend, the jump is followed immediately by a second jump while still in the air.


It is also referenced in the kojiki, the oldest book about the history of Japan.
