The Winged Trooflenurg

Not to be confused with the Wingless Trooflenurg, which it resembles in all but it’s possession of wings, the Winged Trooflenurg is a most unusual creature.  Modern science has been unable to explain this creature, or even explain what species it is.  It most closely resembles an insect, but it is four feet tall, and insects cannot reach that height.  Since it can fly, some have suggested that the Winged Trooflenurg is a bird. But it has neither feathers nor beak, so a bird it is not.  It was briefly classified as a mammal, but the Winged Trooflenurg has no hair and is cold blooded.  Some scienists have suggested it might be a form of fish, which it might be save for the fact that it neither swims or breathes in water.  But without any better options, many have begun refuring to it as a fish.  Tommy Wilkins, age 8, of Lombard, Illinois suggested that the Trooflenurg (both Winged and Wingless varieties) might be a large lizard.  Scientists scoffed at this, since the idea was presented by a mere child.  The mystery of the Trooflenurg may continue to elude modern science.
