Good Hoop/Tasmanian Bunyip/Universal Eye

Good Hoop is an alternate name for the Bunyip, commonly from Tasmania. They often have serpentine forms and may have small or non-visible ears, a sheepdog head, small wing-like fins, shaggy black hair, and/or crooked feet. They measure between 1.2 and 1.35 meters in length and are thought to move 50 km per hour. One was sighted in Lake Tiberias in 1952. It was first viewed in shallow water and quickly disappeared into deep water.
