Refimprove date December 2008 The Altamaha ha is a posited Aquatic animal aquatic creature alleged in local mythology and folklore to inhabit the myriad network of small stream s and abandoned rice field s near the mouth of the AltamahaRiver after which it has been named in southeastern Georgia U.S. state Georgia , United States , particularly around Darien, Georgia Darien and elsewhere in McIntosh County, Georgia McIntosh County . No physical evidence for its existence has been reported. Appearance The Altamaha ha has been described as looking like a sturgeon including a bony ridge on the back , swimming like a dolphin or porpoise, and having a snout like a crocodile. It is also said to be grey with a whitish yellow underbelly. History There have been many stories of such a creature in southeastern Georgia and a smaller number of similar reports in Florida going back to at least the 18th century. Citation needed date March 2009 The local Tama Amerindian tribe Tama Indian tribe has legends of a giant, snake like creature inhabiting the waters of and near the AltamahaRiver Citation needed date April 2008 that presumably pre date English settlement of the Georgia coast. In cryptozoology Within cryptozoology , some have speculated that the Altamaha ha may be an oceanic cryptid which engages in reproductive spawn biology spawning in the fresh waters in and around the AltamahaRiver. However, no physical evidence for its existence as a real creature has been reported. Alleged sightings of the animal continue to be reported, with most reports involving swimmers bumping into the creature, which appears to be harmless as no accounts of it attacking humans have emerged.
