The Veo (Manis Cryptus) is a cryptid described in The Beasts That Hide from Man: Seeking the World's Last Undiscovered Animals by Karl Shuker as living on the island of Rintja (Rinca), Indonesia.

Description/Morphology

The creature is reported to resemble other pangolins, or scaly ant-eaters but as big as a horse. The Veo is described as being a nocturnal, mountain-dwelling creature, subsisting on a diet of ants and termites.

Theories about origin and existence

No modern Pangolin approaches that size but on the nearby islands of Java and Borneo, large pangolins of up to 8 feet did once live. Cryptozoologists have suggested that the Veo may represent a relict population of the extinct Manis paleojavanicus.
