Chuchuna
Appearance
Tjutjuna or Chuchunaa is a hominid cryptid rumoured to exist in Siberia, Russia. It has been described as six to seven feet tall and covered with dark hair.[1] Some cryptozoologists including Bernard Heuvelmans have speculated that Tjutjuna may be a relict population of Neanderthal. Mark Hall, another cryptozoologist, has suggested surviving members of Homo gardarensis.[1] No conclusive evidence for the existence of the creature have yet been presented.
In 2003 mountain climber Sergey Semenov found a well preserved, furry frozen limb in Siberia. X-rays showed it to be thousands of years old, and it appeared to be similar to a human foot in structure. [2]
