Okay, now that I've got to my trusty scanner this is ready for the next stage... a revised side profile (and colour scheme if time allows).
Expanded Creature Description:
The Bunyip (or Australis Horribilis) is a vicious and highly dangerous creature. It's genus is mostly similar to the now extinct Thylacine, however this monstrous beast has a number of other characteristics. The Bunyip is possibly evolved from the Allosaurus, a Dinosaur previously found in Australia.
As the Bunyip lacks a pelt it seeks out languid pools and billabongs over scorching hot days. It's hide is similar to a wild boar yet it's markings are somewhat darker. Like the Thylacine the Bunyip may be marked or striped darker in places, which helps to conceal the beast in foliage or underwater.
It's wings are similar not only to a manta ray but also to a sugar-glider. And while the Bunyip can't fly, they can use their wings to glide. This presents the Bunyip with one of it's favourite attacks, silently soaring down at their prey to sink their claws and teeth into an unsuspecting victim. Both cattle or humans rarely look up...
Anatomically the Bunyip is quite muscular, having a high degree of tensile strength which includes it's prehensile tail. The tail is used for a number of purposes, swimming, gripping a branch or entangling it's prey.
Unnervingly the Bunyip can attack in six ways and all at the same time. Biting, clawing and tangling or throttling this nocturnal nightmare is the last Australian animal you would want to see... or likely be the last thing you see ever again.
