Abu sotan

The abu sotan was a cryptid felid reported from the mountains near the River Rahad in Sudan. It is considered a regional name for the wobo, which is described as a large tiger-like cat, by authors including Karl Shuker and George Eberhart, as well as by Theodor von Heuglin, who first reported both animals. According to Heuglin, the Sudanese Arabs described it as having a neck of striking length, and light fur marked with large black spots or longitudinal stripes.
