Numerous rumors about the so-called "Olgoi khorkhoi" an ancient mysterious creature, have been floating around for creatures among people. In 1994 we organised a study and search group together with the Czech TV. Unfortunaltely, we didn't discover the creature, but still were able to make an extensive research work. The biologist prove that such a creature did exist. However it still continues to be a mystery. Some countries especially european coutries approach us with a proposal to condact a joint expedition in search of the "Olgoi Khorkhoi".

We are interested in exploring further this subject and are ready for co-operation.

"In Search of the Killer Worm" creature search. Czech TV team. In 1994.

The first time you hear about the Mongolian Death Worm you assume it has to be a joke; it sounds too much like the monster from a B-movie or an especially dire comic book to be true. A five-foot (1.5m) long worm dwelling in the vast and inhospitable expanses of the Gobi Desert, the creature is known to Mongolia’s nomadic tribesmen as the allghoi khorkhoi (sometimes given as allerghoi horhai or olgoj chorchoj) or ‘intestine worm’ for its resemblance to a sort of living cow’s intestine. Apparently red in colour, sometimes described as having darker spots or blotches, and sometimes said to bear spiked projections at both ends, the khorkhoi is reputedly just as dangerous as its alarming appearance would suggest, squirting a lethal corrosive venom at its prey and capable of killing by discharging a deadly electric shock, even at a distance of some feet.
