Capirussa
Capirussa is a creature which was supposed to live in Indië (now Indonesia), but was once seen in the Meuse River at Brielle (Brill), The Netherlands.
Etymology
The name could be a corruption of Caperisca, a small goat-like creature. Another possibility could be a corruption of Capripus, meaning goat’s foot.
Description
A female beast with a human face, a collar of jester’s bells, pointed flappy ears as those of a hound, goatlike paws and a dog’s plumy tail.
