Bigfooter Outfoxed
With reference to Tom Biscardi on Fox News mentioned here, the following is the YoubTube appearance of this moment in history: Thanks to A. Higgins for the heads up.
Biscardi Blows Fox Broadcast

Todd Neiss, with the American Primate Research Group, passes this breaking news along, moments ago: Tom Biscardi was just featured in Fox News this morning (6:25am – PST) with regard to an alleged Bigfoot sighting in the Catskills of New York. I have to say his interview was classic Biscardi…pathetic. At first, Biscardi said that he flew in [to the Catskills] last Thursday and had already gathered evidence. Then he stated [...]
Hawks, Not Parrots, On The Attack
No doubt upset by the recent DNA study saying that their former cousins the falcons are more closely related to parrots than to them, a pair of red-tailed hawks attacked a Cape Cod, Massachusetts, woman on Monday, June 30, 2008. First it was an alligator at nearby Barnstable, on Cape Cod, and now attacking hawks. Cape Cod is turning into a hot bed of weird animal news this summer. Perhaps a Sea Serpent sighting will occur any day now? Seriously, I would ask Cape Cod-located cryptozoologists-in-training to keep an eagle eye (no pun intended) out for more unusual animal stories [...]
Chimp Loose In San Bernardino National Forest
Moe the chimp, 31 1/2 years old, “cries” and seeks comfort from long time friend of the family after being shot twice with a tranquilizer on August 16, 1998. The chimp got out from his owners home and roamed the neighgorhood before being tranquilized. Moe, a 42-year-old chimpanzee who grew up in suburbia until being forced to live in an animal sanctuary, was believed to be at large in a Southern California forest Monday after escaping his cage. Animal handlers were combing the San Bernardino National Forest about 50 miles east of Los Angeles. “We think he may be hunkered [...]
New Crayfish Species Discovery
In 2005, a new species of crayfish, Cambarus (Tubericambarus) polychromatus (the painted-hand mudbug) was described by Roger Thoma, Raymond Jezerinac and Thomas Simon in volume 118 issue 2 of the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. Specifically, the cited journal article is: Thoma R.F., Jezerinac, R.F., and Simon, T. P. 2005. “Cambarus (Tubericambarus) polychromatus (Decapoda: Cambaridae), a new species of crayfish from the United States. Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 118(2):326-336. Now, this new species has been identified from southern Illinois, according to the US Forest Service’s Mike Welker on June 30, 2008: The Cambarus polychromatus, commonly [...]
Wild Bears vs Humans
As some kind of joke, an internet wag called Evil Melon has posted that, “Some cryptozoologist is making bizarre claims that the mythical creature known as a ‘bear’ has attacked a girl riding in a 24 hour bike race….Bears are loveable trained creatures who do not live in the wild, do not steal pickernick baskets and do not maul human beings. This is a claim that must be debunked. The wild bear does not exist.” Not funny. Not happening. More ridicule for cryptozoologists, even for those of us who happen to have an incredible sense of humor. In a minute, [...]
South China Tiger Photos Fake
Late on Sunday, June 29, 2008, the Chinese news service Xinhua is confirming that the controversial photographs of a rare South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) in the wild are fake. Cryptomundo first discussed this news on October 14, 2007, and our readers knew what was what, right away. At Cryptomundo, the photos were declared a fakes on November 22, 2008. The photos were fabricated by farmer Zhou Zhenglong, Shaanxi Provincial government officials said on Sunday. Zhou, 54, from Zhenping county, claimed to have photographed the tiger with a digital camera on the afternoon of Oct. 3 last year, but [...]
Mystery Deer Captured In Indiana
Brian Walters, a South Bend Animal Control officer, checks on a deer that was captured downtown after a lengthy chase. Tribune Photos by Gene Kaiser. Police and animal control officers were on an animal chase in downtown South Bend, Indiana, on June 26, 2008. A wild mystery deer, later identified only as a “male” when captured, was seen running through the streets. Reporter David Stephens of the South Bend Tribune recorded the course of the chase: Where the deer came from, how he got downtown and where he was going Thursday afternoon were not known…. Already he had been spotted [...]
Volkswagen-Sized Catfish
Famed natural history artist Alexis Rockman painted the cover of the 2001 edition of Mysterious America depicting a real encounter he and his cryptozoology expedition associates had with a giant catfish in the Amazon. The new edition of Mysterious America contains a chapter on “Giant Catfish” sightings, which continue throughout North America and elsewhere in the world. These tales overlap with swamp monster encounters, lake monster ponderings, and weird animal happenings. Giant catfish do exist, which is a fact not in dispute. The question is how “giant” does “giant” get and where are they living today. In an article today [...]
