In east African folklore, the Nandi bear is a creature said to live in East Africa.[1][2] It takes its name from the Nandi people who live in western Kenya, in the area the Nandi Bear is reported from. It is also known as Chemosit,[1]Kerit, Koddoelo, Ngoloko, or Duba (which derives from the Arabic words dubb or d.abʕ / d.abuʕ for 'bear' and 'hyena' respectively[3]).
The Samburu "Nkampit" appears also to be a version of this creature.
