The kavay is a cryptid reported from Madagascar, described as a large, amphibious insectivore, which was rumoured to tear people's eyes out. It is thought that it could have been a larger variety of the nocturnal aquatic tenrec (Limnogale mergulus), which is an amphibious insectivore, but does not usually grow to more than 12'' in length.[1][2] Bernard Heuvelmans compared it to the iemisch and the bunyip.[1]
