Charles William Hobley claimed in his 1913 article to have encountered further accounts of creatures similarly described to the dingonek.
Notes on verification
Multiple secondary sources (cryptozoology-focused sites) independently cite and quote the same primary 1913 Hobley article in the Journal of the East Africa and Uganda Natural History Society, consistently describing additional dingonek-like sighting accounts. No independent scholarly verification beyond cryptid-focused sources, but the underlying primary source citation is consistent.
