The American palaeontologist described second-hand tales of the monster that he heard at a gathering of Mongolian officials: None of those present ever had seen the creature, but they all minutely.
In 1983, a specimen of Tartar sand bias was shown to locals who claimed to have seen olgoi-Khoikhoi and they confirmed that this was the same animal.
