Kting Voar

Kting Voar (Pseudonovibos spiralis) or "jungle sheep", is a cryptozoological mountain goat of Kampuche (Cambodia), called "linh dong" ("mountain goat") in Vietnamese. It is noted for its peculiar twisting horns, about 45 centimetres (20 inches) long.

The first evidence supporting the Kting Voar's existence known to Western science was a set of horns found by biologist Wolfgang Peter in a Ho Chi Minh City market. The horns were so different, he believed them to be from a new species.

Many believe that the Kting Voar is not a real animal, and that the horns are from cows. Cow horns are often sold as imitation Kting Voar horns in Kampuche markets. However, American mammologist Dr. Robert Timms , notably, believes that the Kting Voar exists, despite the sale of imitation horns.
