Opening at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmondton, Canada, from June 14 through September 14, 2008, is the exciting “Dragons: Between Science and Fiction.”

Bigfoot and YouTube: Worthless Combo?
Are videos at YouTube of any value to the research leading to the solution of the question of Sasquatch reality? Here’s a new video (posted May 28, 2008) from Snowshoe West Virginia, just north of the Widowmaker trail. What does it tell us? Is it even real? Others take and post videos, claiming they aren’t Bigfoot, as with this one: The above video is dated February 2008. The poster at YouTube wrote: “Black Bear we ran into in Olympic National Forest (startled both of us!) walked part of the way on his hind feet….In response to several emails, no, this [...]
New Scorpion Discovered in Columbia
Rhopalurus laticauda The Scorpion Files today has alerted me that there is a recently discovered species from the genus Rhopalurus, newly described on 28 May 2008, from northeastern Colombia, from a holotype collected by C. A. Roncallo on 18 December 2006: Rhopalurus caribensis Teruel & Roncallo, 2008. It is closely related to Rhopalurus laticauda (pictured twice above, here at Cryptomundo). The Scorpion Files notes that the new species has probably been confused with Rhopalurus laticauda in the past. For further reading and the new images of Rhopalurus caribensis, see the full (free) text of the scientific paper: Teruel R, Roncallo [...]
Monster Quest I vs MonsterQuest II
How do you think “MonsterQuest” (Season Two) is stacking up against “Monster Quest” (Season One)? First of all, do we even really have any ideas about where Season Two is going? “MonsterQuest” seems to not be as forthright about the complete episode list for Season Two, as one might expect. Either that or they’ve fired their publicist. The list is certainly not been up on their website. Of course, back channel hints of programs on Chupacabras, Giant Squid, Merbeings, Bigfoot, Mystery Bears, and Yeren, have been heard. But the only program schedule shared is the following one, Mega Hog, May [...]
Bigfoot’s Guardian Speaks Out
Considering the renewed interest in the “Gimlin” part of the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film taken on October 20, 1967, at Bluff Creek, perhaps it’s time to hear from the “The Man Who Held The Rifle.” Here’s documentary footage of a rarely seen bearded Bob Gimlin discussing the encounter, in 1980, while on Arthur C. Clarke’s program: Only during the run-up to the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Patterson-Gimlin footage did Bob Gimlin begin to make more frequent public appearances. The following are audio clips (Parts 1 and 2) of Bob Gimlin’s “Question and Answer” presentation at the recent “Giants in the [...]
Zoorama’s Host Dies
Bob Dale, San Diego TV legend and host of the famed animal program, “Zoorama,” died at 83, on Monday, May 26, 2008. He had been in declining health for some time, but his daughter, Linda, said he kept his wonderful spirit and wit right up to the end. People who grew up in southern California in the 1950s and 1960s, may remember Dale’s stylist bowtie and good humor. “Few people connect with an audience the way Bob did,” NBC 7/39 Vice President of News Greg Dawson said Wednesday. “As a television personality, he did it all. For those of us [...]
Hominologists: Separated at Birth
I just noticed a strange similarity here… Chinese Yeren researcher Yuan Zhenxin. American Bigfoot researcher Craig Woolheater. Any other sightings like this?
More on MonsterQuest and Yeren
Since the second season kicks off today, I thought I’d stop by this morning to add some notes about names associated with the series. First off, the “History Channel” is no more. According to Doug Yuan, the producer who was here in Maine yesterday from A&E Television Networks headquarters to film my International Cryptozoology Museum, the official name of the “History Channel” has been changed to “History.” The corporate decision was made to go to a broader moniker, via History.com, to reflect the greater diversity of their products, which do now go beyond a mere cable channel. Henceforth, I’ll talk [...]
Mega Hog or Mega Hoax?
The new season of “MonsterQuest” airs on Wednesday night, May 28, 2008, with their lead-off program, “Mega Hog.” (Check your local listings.) Here is the program overview: “Do wild hogs in the United States grow to monstrous sizes? Many think so. In Georgia an 1100 pound hog was shot and killed, and in Texas beasts almost as large have been reported. But are these creatures raised and fattened up in a pen, or are they wild hogs, naturally more aggressive, that have somehow reached gigantic proportions? A MonsterQuest examination meets victims of vicious wild boar attacks, looks at the existing [...]
Michigan Eagle Attack
Something seems to be in the air about animal attack stories, and I’ll have more to say on that later. In the meantime, here’s another breaking story about a new one. An 11-year-old boy has been injured when an eagle attacked him during a walk through the woods in near Copemish, Manistee County, Michigan. Radio station WKLA reported Alex Birch was attacked by the eagle about 9 p.m. Sunday, May 25, 2008, in Copemish. He was treated at a local hospital for numerous cuts and scratches to his back, head and neck. It was not clear what led to the [...]
