New Manta Ray Discovered
The newly-discovered larger, migratory manta ray (top) and the common, resident species (below) A new species of manta ray has been identified for the first time. After five years of study a marine biologist has confirmed that a larger and more elusive manta is in fact a distinct species. Until now it was thought that there was only one manta ray species. The newly-discovered species leads a different lifestyle to its smaller cousin and is migratory rather than residential. Andrea Marshall is a PhD marine biologist sponsored by the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) to advance scientific knowledge of the [...]
DNA Test For Yeti Hair
Technician John Wells looks at the hairs through a microscope as Anna Nakaris, anthropolgist, and Ian Redmond, primatologist, look on. The hunt for the mysterious Yeti – otherwise known as the Abominable Snowman – has frustrated scientists for decades. Yesterday, scientists at Oxford Brookes University joined in the hunt after being given a number of hair strands taken from what is purported to be a Yeti-like creature in India. The Brookes boffins used high-powered microscopes to analyse the samples found in the West Garo jungle of the north-eastern state of Meghalaya. They compared the suspected Yeti strands to samples taken [...]

Bigfoot Body on C2C
Okay, so the power was turned off in the bfters’ freezer in Georgia, they are telling us. Okay, they are being harassed. All the July fees for the bftrackers “expeditions” are being refunded. What does this all sound like to you? Is an exit scenario being developed? As I mentioned here yesterday, late last night a “Coast to Coast AM with George Noory” producer invited me to come on as their guest to discuss the Georgia Bigfoot body case and the Grassman episode of “MonsterQuest.” I was exhausted from the Royal Alberta Museum jetlag, so I respectfully declined. The program [...]
Needed: Cryptid Eyewitness Who Can Draw
I have a request from a credible art book compiler who is going to press soon. He needs an eyewitness to a non-hairy-hominoid cryptid, who can draw their cryptozoological creature, and is willing to contribute a drawing of what they saw to his book. If you have seen a cryptid, can sketch it rather well, and would like to donate a drawing or two, send an email to me at Loren Coleman lcoleman {@} maine.rr.com [remove the { } ] with a jpeg attachment of your drawing(s). Thank you. I may use a few sketches (not used in his book) [...]
Atlas Bear Claims
The extinct Atlas bear (Ursus crowtheri), above, continues to live on in dispute, even here on the pages of Cryptomundo. Today, round two in the battle between a German commentator and a French respondent. Michel Raynal is one of the foremost cryptozoologists in Europe, the webmaster of Virtual Institute of Cryptozoology, the first French site devoted to cryptozoological research. Raynal, pictured above, passes along some comments, below, in response to German comment maker Sordes’s claims on the Atlas bear published at Cryptomundo, which can be found more completely here: Sordes’s comments: “Around 1900 (or a bit later) bones of this [...]
Further Adventures of the Garden Yeti
Cryptomundo buddy Boing Boing’s David Pescovitz received a great acknowledgment for his service to cryptozoology on July 22nd: Design Toscano’s Garden Yeti. It was presented to him by Nick Philip of the Imaginary Foundation. Congratulations to David! BTW, David mentions that his two-and-half year old son Lux was “slightly scared of the creature at first, but then he cautiously walked up, examined him closely, and finally patted him on the head and said ‘Nice Bigfoot! Bigfoot is nice!’” As an update to the situation with the stolen Bigfoot/Garden Yeti from Niki’s Quick Six, the latest word is that despite hopes [...]
Newspaper: Cop Claims To Have Bigfoot Body

Lion Vanishes Into Misquotation Valley
Cryptozoology author Matt Bille, who found himself in the middle of a firestorm of “African lion” sightings in his hometown, was interviewed by the local media. On July 22, 2008, The Colorado Springs Gazette published an article about the Colorado Springs “lion.” In it they quoted Matt Bille. Or, should I say, misquoted him? Bille has emailed me that he “did not say the last half of the last sentence about making no rational sense.” Wildlife officials had a few things to say about the misquotations in the unfolding of this story too. Here is the article Bille sends along: [...]
