Okay, what do you think have been the top stories for the first half of the year?

What stories would you rank as your top five?

Remember, this would be January through June. I let all those slow end of June stories trickle in during July, but now it’s August.

What do you say?

Look, I could give you a list, but I want this survey to be unbiased.

What do you remember from the first part of the year as the cryptid stories that made the biggest splash for you, what new species discovery did you like the best, what photo or film do you recall with interest, and so forth.

Leave your choices below.

Thank you.

To make it visually engaging and interactive, I’ll update this posting with images that directly relate to your choices for awhile, as you post your picks.
