Cryptozoology

[glyn]

The Chupacabra is a genetically engineered top secret FBI type experiment that escaped.

How exactly did it escape? Did it bribe a guard or something?

Does cryptozoology include alien life forms?.

In my opinion that is a coyote with mange.... I think most of the carcasses have been proven to be coyotes with mange.

The old chupacabra is a different kettle of fish though The modern sightings dont really bear any resemblance to the goat sucker.

No dog has that severe mange.

A bipedal reptile is far more unlikely.

I saw a UFO once, well maybe twice... not saying it was aliens, just saying I have no idea what it was.

I would love for Nessie to be real, I just don't think a creature that size could support itself in a loch.

Hello, kensei.
Please tell us about your bigfoot sighting.

Best wishes,
Steve.

I'd like to try and bring some clarity here. Cryptozoology is one of my great interests. I traveled to Loch Ness in 2008 and had a great visit but didn't see Nessie. However I did see a Bigfoot in 1976 when I was eight years old and I don't just believe but KNOW that there are things out there that have not yet been proven. The whole chupacabras thing really annoys me. The first reports in Puerto Rico were of a bipedal reptilian creature with spines down its back that could fly and which sucked the blood from small mammals. People swore that they saw it. Then this ridiculous thing started in Texas and other southern U.S. areas in which some kind of bug caused coyotes or dogs or coyote-dog hybrids or something to start appearing, and because of their strange appearance the media started referring to them as chupacabras. Hey, maybe this is what was responsible for all those weird reports from before.

NO!!!!!

In Puerto Rico, people actually swore that they saw a short bipedal reptilian creature that looked like something out of a science fiction movie that actually had the ability to fly without wings. In the U.S., what has been labeled "American chupacabras" are nothing but some kind of medical condition or genetic mutation among dogs and coyotes. The two have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

Mongolian Death Worm spits out venom and is fearful/attracted to the colour yellow (I can't remember which)?

theres a few accounts of it... It spits something different accounts say venom or blood (a bit like lizards that force blood from their eyes or snakes that spit venom)

I dont recall it being fearful of a colour but accounts have it as being a ruddy red colour with a yellowish stripe along its side.

The Chupacabra is a cross between a feral dog and a coyote. They killed one, for some reason the crossbreed makes the canine teeth bigger they usual, the hind legs are longer than usual and they are almost completely hairless.

a mongolian thread worm ?

not something I want!

hiya

just stumbled on this thread!

I've been into cryptozoology for a long time! The two I think are most likely to exist are Orang Pendek (Sumatra) and the Mongolian Death Worm (Gobi Desert) there are decent eyewitness accounts for both and if you trim off the more bizarre features of both you can come up with an acceptable animal yet to be discovered

I had an agrument with a cryptozologist online about the existince of Thunderbirds (not the cartoon )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbird_(cryptozoology)

Basically, there is not a chance this bird can exist, being a biologist I was explaining energy trophic levels and how this bird would need alot of large mammals to stay alive, therefore making in likely it would be spotted (more than the usual hicks of course), he wasn't having any of it lol.

Bigfoot probably deserves a thread of his own

Orang Pendek seems the least unlikely to turn up.

The eye witness accounts for Orang Pendek paint a picture of a very possible pale furred great ape IMO, nothing in the stories is too outlandish, certainly no more outlandish than the tales of the hairy women that occurred prior to the discovery of the Gorilla.

The Mongolian death worm too stands a good chance of being something real as the accounts of it only put it at about 1-2ft long. It could be something like a Caecilian.

I'd love the Mokele-Mbembe to be real too
