There were many drawings of the jersey devil ,and a couple of sculptures .     

the pictures and sculptures were based on what the people who have claimed to

have seen this creature , when the people saw it they would say if that is what they saw ,and most of the time the answer was exact or almost exact

              mistake          

reasurchers think that some of the people that claimed to have saw a rear bat from Africa

called the hammer head fruit bat
