Are these the bones of a water demon? 'Remains' of mythological Kappa to go on show in Japan

Are these the bones of a water demon? 'Remains' of mythological Kappa to go on show in Japan | Mail Online: "Just as British children have been brought up with scary stories about the Loch Ness Monster, Japanese people know all about the Kappa - a slippery water demon from ancient folklore.

Proof? Mummified remains (pictured) purporting to be from the Kappa - a scaly green water demon said to be around the same size as a child - are going on show in Japan

The pond and river-dwelling monsters are typically depicted as human-like but with the scaly green or blue skin of a reptile and webbed feet."
