Cryptozoology!

Featured Replies

Hey guys!

 

 

 

I've never ever seen a cryptozoology thread, so I thought I should make one.

 

 

 

Basically it is the search for animals that have not been confirmed to exist and those which are beleived to be extinct.

 

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoology

 

 

 

I love cryptozoology, seeing what lays undiscovered in our world really really excites me.

 

 

 

Post your thoughts...

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,

These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf,

Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,

Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything,

Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel,

Tear up the book and write your own damn rules,

Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got,

And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,

And realise that the other world that you're always looking for,

Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door,

And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas,

After all, you were put on the earth to do this,

So shine your light so bright that all can see,

Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

its cool, yea, but i wouldn't like mak my profession out of it, as the chance of actually finding a believed to be extinct species are very minimal

Yeah, me too, but just looking at it is cool.

This isn't an extinct or unknown animal. It's a decomposing raccoon. See the hands and skull.

(Alternatively, it may be some elaborate hoax tied in with the Montauk Monster story... But it seems more likely that it's just a dead animal.)

Or that...thing they found in Russia that looked like a log :twss:

No offense, but this reminded me of Demetri Martin's Mythozoology. :lol:

That washed up animal was a sea turtle that didn't have a shell.

 

 

 

I like all the myths and lores about mysterious beasts.

 

 

 

The chupacabra is my favourite, because it sounds cool.

I referenced the chupacabra in Spanish class, when I wrote on the board, "Cuándo yo veo la chupacabra, yo tengo miedo."

 

 

 

My Spanish teacher didn't know what it was. I was like . . . Es un monstroso . . .

 

 

 

Yeah, yeah, simple sentences. My class is dumb.

With teeth like that?

 

 

 

The body maybe yes, but it loks like someones shoved a different skull in there.

Maybe not that one in the link provided, I don't know what the hell that is. :lol:

 

 

 

But there was something similar recently, which was clearly just a turtle without a shell.

"When I see the chupacabra, I....." please translate :oops:

". . . am afraid." Literally, "I have fear." :)

Lol. Great profession to chose.

 

 

 

Cryptozoologist: "Omg! I just found a species of raccoon that has been believed to be extinct for 33 years!"

 

Me: "And?..."

 

Cryptozoologist: "And people thought it was extinct!"

 

Me: "Yeah.. I get that. I just don't get why I should give a [cabbage]"

 

Cryptozoologist: " :o .. uum... well... -.- ... :wall: "

 

 

 

What a waste of a life.

A fun thing to do, but sounds better as a hobby then a profession. I'm sure many people enjoy it in their spare time, researching and recording, but unless you find something revolutionary, you can't make a living out of it. And there will still be skeptics preventing your discovery from being accepted as the newest animal easily. And if it turns out to be a false alarm, you will live the rest of your life in shame...

 

 

 

Might as well add to the suspected animals list.

 

[hide=Weird Russian animals]Russian crocodile-log-eel-whale-shark thing.

 

 

 

The above site did a good job of saying that it's probably a badly decayed beluga whale.

 

 

 

Prehistoric thing from a ditch in Russia

 

Probably one of those trioph things you can buy a kit for and grow your own, although ones this size are unheard of...

 

 

 

Shark with eyeballs that moans like a human

 

 

 

This weirded me out, but is probably just a mutated shark. But.. the sailors ATE it? "Hey, there's a weird creature we found. It sounds like a human and looks all alien-like." "Well, what does it taste like?" :wall:[/hide]

 

 

 

Russia seems like the place for these kinds of things.

 

 

 

Most of these things are fascinating for the internet, but are really just badly decayed creatures or obscured deformed things.

[hide=]

tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:
But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.
That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.

Apparently a lot of people say it. I own.

 

http://linkagg.com/ Not my site, but a simple, budding site that links often unheard-of websites that are amazing for usefulness and fun.

It's also fun to look up pictures of extinct animals. We know about most dinosaurs, but if you look up some pictures of the mammals that were around a lot were pretty cool looking.

Heh, cryptids are awesome.

 

 

 

The Rods are my favourite 'cause they're RODS!!!!!

 

 

 

Also, I once wrote in my notebook, "Alle beugen vor dem Meister der cryptids! Sie können mich nicht besiegen! Hagel cyrptid der Kapitän oder die Folgen! Ich bin über Leet."

 

All bow down before the master of cryptids! You can not defeat me! Hail the cyrptid master or face the consequences! I am over leet.

Cryptozoology? You mean like Big Foot, Loch Ness, and Bunyip?

Wongton is better than me in anyway~~

Jersey Devil is my favorite legend.

 

 

 

There's been some silly ones too, like the fur bearing trout. :lol:

 

 

 

Some have been confirmed to be real though, such as rat kings (where rats tails become intertwined then get stuck together through dried blood and feces, and they grow together) and the Pizzly (a bear that is a Polar Bear/North American hybrid).

Dudes, seriously!!! I just saw Bigfoot!!! He was like 6 foot tall and really hairy!!! Actually, on second thoughts... That could've been my dad...

 

or your mom

 

 

 

I think there may be some sort of species of 'Bigfoot' out there, but when I hear about a bigfoot enthusiast discovering a carcass and saying that they lost it, I just have to call bs.

Lost It? :lol: What a load of...

 

 

 

Some of these 'Creatures' look really creepy.

It's an interesting subject, and I hope that cryptozoologists can add some really fascinating animals to the long list of known living things.
