Altamaha-ha is a cryptid of southern Georgia folklore. The creature, a river monster with an alligator shaped head and long neck, is said to inhabit the Altamaha river and nearby marshes. Sometimes known as Altie, one of the unusual features is that unlike similar plesiosaur shaped cryptids, Altamaha-ha lacks rear flippers. The legend of this creature, originated with Muskogee tribe and predates the colonial period. Sightings have been reported for centuries. The river basin is very large the second largest in the U.S. behind the Mississippi giving the beast plenty of room to swim. Which is good as some sightings of the monster peg it at seventy feet long, though most report about half that length.
