rdfs:comment | - In Native American mythology (specifically the Shoshone, Paiute, Bannock, and a few other tribes from the Great Basin), Nunyenunc was a giant bird which carried off large mammals and men. It may be related to the cryptozoological Thunderbird, which was reported as flying off with large mammals like buffalo and bison, as well as people. Nunyenunc, however, has no association with Thunder.
