Hachisuka, 1924, Priest, 1942), if one wants to pinpoint a living inspiration. There is no question though that many of its attributes belong in the mythological realm.

It's not even really one creature, even if they are talked about as if they are one creature because they are seen as two halves of the same whole. Feng and Huang are, to put it simply, the physical embodiment of Yin and Yang. Sometimes they are depicted as a single creature, especially in more recent history, and balanced by a tiger or a dragon, but I'm fairly sure they are still considered to be two different entities.They don't even really look like the proposed mothman beyond the legs. I have never heard of them described as having red eyes or large bodies. They disappear in times of trouble, but they are primarily associated with being guaranteers of good times, rather than warning signs of bad ones. That having been said, I would love them to be real.

Interesting that there was a bridge collapse here too. The Bridge Collapse in the US and now here, smells fishy. </p> Very interesting article, I enjoyed it and the wonderful photos.
