Click here for news of a new species of shark found over 3000 feet deep off Hawaii, as per this KHON broadcast. It survived for five days alive, and was recorded quite closely by scientists and journalists. Funny, its shape and head sort of reminded me of this:

Mothman’s Fate
The image of Mothman has changed in the last forty years. Fiction from the film has shown up as fact in popular culture. Is this Mothman’s fate? I’ve noticed that the drawings of Mothman have evolved, often negatively, from the early days of what the witnesses said they saw to the elaborate fictions we see on the cover of Fate this month. Good art does not equal historical representations or forensic drawings. Mothmen didn’t have hands with four fingers, toes with claws, well-defined rib cages, or leathery wings. Most of those details were not even seen or were described differently. [...]

New Fossil Great Ape Discovery
An ape possibly larger than any other from the Miocene but Gigantopithecus? The announcement of a new big ape, a breaking fossil find out of Turkey, is turning heads. Perhaps the day is growing closer for more finds of Gigantopithecus too? The new fossil great ape discovery appears to be a species of Ouranopithecus, and thus related to the above species, Ouranopithecus macedoniensis. A team from the departments of Anthropology at the University of Ankara, Ankara, Turkey, and the University of Yüzüncüyil, Department of Anthropology, The Faculty of Science and Letters, Van, Turkey has recovered a fossil ape (as a [...]
Bigfoot, Chessie, Iraq, and Larry Craig?
It’s not often that Bigfoot, Chessie, and I get thrown in with President Bush, Iraq, and Larry Craig, thank goodness, but it happened this week to me in Virginia. ‘The New Dominion Show’ is on the air The fall 2007 (and 2008 and 2009 elections), President Bush’s secret jaunt to Iraq and Chessie and Bigfoot. That and more this week on “The New Dominion Show.” (Teaser: Chris gives his prognostication on what Mark Warner will do next week in the final segment.) Joining us this week: – Brian Moran, the Democratic Caucus chair in the House of Delegates and a [...]
Taku-He and Cows in South Dakota
On this date, September 7th, in 1974, a calf was found mutilated in Pierce County, Nebraska. The blood had been drained from the animal and the sexual organs removed. The day before, on September 6, 1974, near Jefferson, South Dakota, Jim Douglas saw a very tall, sandy Bigfoot dragging a red furry object through an alfalfa field. The Bigfoot stood and watched Douglas. Three years later, during mid-September 1977, near Little Eagle, South Dakota, Chris Howiatow and others said a “big ape” watched them from a hillside as they checked cattle. The Bigfoot then ran into the brush as the [...]
Florida’s Ivory-Bills Photographed
Geoffrey Hill, Scharnagel Professor of Biology at Auburn University and author of Ivorybill Hunters: The Search for Proof in the Florida Panhandle told reporter Donathan Prater of the Opelika Auburn News that he has obtained three types of evidence of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers (Campephilus principalis): audio, video, and photographic. After getting a small grant, Hill and several of his colleagues traveled to the Florida Panhandle in January 2007. There, they set up listening stations and remote cameras, and indeed, did record the distinctive double-knocking sound and Kent calls the Ivory-billed Woodpecker makes. While in Florida, Hill and his colleagues were able [...]
New Shark Discovered
Mark Clarke over at Practical Fishkeeling is noting there’s been a “new Mandarin shark discovered,” and named from south eastern Australia. William White, Peter Last and John Stevens of Australia’s CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research named the new species Cirrhigaleus australis in an announcement paper in the newest issue of the journal Zootaxa. Clarke writes, “Cirrhigaleus australis is a member of the Mandarin dogfish group of squalid sharks which typically reach lengths of just a metre or so….The new species is believed to occur in temperate waters off eastern Australia and its range may extend as far as New Zealand.

New Moa Photos For Sale
Editorial Commentary Is cryptozoology the newest big time marketable niche to be discovered or exploited? It appears to be so. There’s the Shipton Yeti footprints photographs auction that I’m discussing at Cryptomundo also today, and now this business of someone selling new photographs of moa tracks and the pictures of the animals themselves. I think it’s one thing to sell off historical items (even though I have reservations about these disappearing into private collections). But these alleged moa discoveries have not even been properly noted and discussed, examined and explored for their possible value to the knowledge base of what [...]
For Sale: Yeti History
Eric Shipton, above, (August 1, 1907 – March 28, 1977), has a name that will live on forever within cryptozoology, in conjuction with the famed “1951 Shipton Yeti footprints photos.” Shipton found these tracks during his exploratory 1951 expedition in which he and his team worked out the now famous route over the Khumbu Glacier to assault Mount Everest. I thought the death on October 7, 2005, of Michael Ward, 80, closed a living chapter of that remarkable event and soon thereafter, more might be heard from Ward’s or Shipton’s estates. Ward was the medical doctor, along with Eric Shipton, [...]
