A depiction of a cat with deer antlers
Kotojeleń (from Kot - Cat, and Jeleń - Deer, pronounced, "Catayelen") was a creature which was the focus of an urban legend in Poland in 2010.
Description[]
In 2010, information appeared on the Polish internet about a mysterious creature living in the Piłsudski Park in Łódź. This story quickly became a hit on the Polish Internet. Aricles about Kotojeleń appeared on the main pages of portals such as Wykop.pl, Facebook.com, Joemonster.org, and Demotywatory.pl. Thanks to this, in the first two days alone, it was viewed by about 50 thousand Poles - as it turned out, the creature was a publicity stunt, turning out to be the logo of the 4th International Design Festival in Łódź.
