PTE Reading MC Single Answer
Read the passage and answer the question by selecting the correct response from the options below.
The bunyip is a large creature from Australian aboriginal mythology, which is believed to live in swamps, billabongs, and riverbeds. Although the tales of the Bunyip specifically have been traced back to the Wemba-Wemba people of south-eastern Australia, aboriginal peoples across Australia have beliefs and stories synonymous with the Bunyip. Descriptions of Bunyips vary considerably, with some sources describing it as a giant starfish, others with a dog-like face, dark fur, a horse-like tail, horns, flippers, or a duck's bill. The size of the Bunyip also varies depending on the origin of the myth, but some accounts state the Bunyip to be as much as twelve or thirteen feet tall. Academics have sought to explain the origins of the Bunyip myth, and paleontologists suggest that the Bunyip may be a cultural memory of extinct megafaunas, such as the Giant wombat or marsupial lion. Today, the Bunyip remains an important part of Australian aboriginal folklore and is a frequently discussed topic in cryptozoology circles.
