Wildlife artist Richard Klyver, who spent seven years in Africa as well as other natural locations around the world, has produced a new series of high-quality tee-shirts. His first one is a remarkable drawing of the Abominable Snowman or Yeti, as shown above. Richard Klyver is going to kick off his selling of these tee-shirts via this announcement at Cryptomundo. In support of the computer fund and the International Cryptozoology Museum, he is generously donating $2.50 from the sale of each tee-shirt. If interested in purchasing, please contact Klyver at windigo2@myfairpoint.net to talk to him about PayPal or snail mail [...]

Ropen Expedition ‘07
Click on the Ropen for a larger version. No scale was given for this drawing. As we have learned, the “Destination Truth” team is on a filming trek in Asia. Here is another insight into the expedition’s point-of-view and cryptid focus as they pursue the Ropen in Papua New Guinea: I was interviewed by Neil Mandt a few weeks ago as he was preparing for the expedition (this kind of excursion should only be done after consulting with someone who has been in Papua New Guinea, searching for the Ropen and/or eyewitnesses). At first, suspicious – the “Fi” of “Sci-Fi [...]
Lake Cryptid Video
Here is the Norwegian so-called “Sea Serpent” (apparently a Lake Monster?) video footage. Please see the previous post here for the background details. What do you think?
Dragons on NPR
Click on image for full size version Rick Kleffel, Fortean and editor of The Agony Column, has broadcast an audio report on National Public Radio (NPR) about dragons. It can now be accessed for listening by clicking here on “Dragons Get a Modern Image Makeover.” The description of the program notes: All Things Considered, January 27, 2007 · Old maps bore the scary legend “here there be dragons.” These days dragons aren’t so scary. In countless books and movies, they’re portrayed as loving companions to the humans that ride them. I’ve added visuals here for Cryptomundo readers so you’ll have [...]
SF Sea Serpent Video
This illustration (above) from the early 1800s’ sighting of a Sea Serpent off the coast of New England is compared with a video capture (below) from the Clarks’ 2004 Sea Serpent videotape taken off of California. Sea serpent? Dolphins? Water birds? The Clarks have done a great deal to secure the analysis of their video. Bob and Bill Clark have received and are now sharing stabilized portions of their San Francisco Bay sea serpent video. (An uplink will be shared here if a format for the internet if available.) Please find here the link to their pdf attachment which contains [...]
New Wounded Knee Sightings
The Oglala Sioux Pine Ridge Reservation was the site last year of several close encounters with what appeared to be a large Bigfoot (often called “Big Man”). There’s news from sources at Wounded Knee, a few miles from Pine Ridge, that a new wave of activity has begun. It is my understanding there have been finds of footprints in freshly fallen snow, and at least five sightings describing a 7-8 ft tall, thick hairy man with no face and long hair as it would sway with the wind. One reported Bigfoot took a special interest in a pole yard light [...]
Where To Dig For Hobbits
What’s wrong with this drawing? (The answer is below.) Homo floresiensis, the “Hobbits” of Indonesia have been in the news again lately. This week it was announced that the dig will start up anew at the same cave where all the previous discoveries have been made on Flores. First, a flashback: How important and significant is the discovery of this species to cryptozoology? The editor of Nature, Henry Gee, in a 2004 editorial entitled “Flores, God and Cryptozoology,” wrote: The discovery that Homo floresiensis survived until so very recently, in geological terms, makes it more likely that stories of other [...]
We’ve Been Webby Nominated!
Someone is watching us! Actually, lots of people. For several months, Cryptomundo has ranked #1 as the most popular cryptozoology site in the world, beating out, in overall rank by three times, the next most visited site, and by six times, the third ranked cryptozoology site.

The Webby Awards is the preeminent International award for the Internet, honoring the world’s best Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video, and Mobile Websites – the [...]
Tapping ME and Beyond
Maine is a cool state and a great one for writers. It is full of trees, megafauna, and lots of quiet spaces, only filled with the songs of birds and bubbling brooks. Maine has only a little over a million people who generally leave you alone when you want to be alone and are friendly when you want to be around ‘em. Also, it has this clearly clever postal abbreviation in which Maine is given as “ME.” Everyone feels special in Maine. As reality would have it, we all have to start with our own world view, our own “me” [...]
R. Crumb and Bigfoot
Mark Frauenfelder recently posted at Boing Boing about the wonderful past era of beautiful art to be found on old covers of Fate. Mark also mentioned a recent blog by David Pescovitz about the New York Times article “Mr. and Mrs. Natural,” and the author of that article contacted Mark to say two of Fate covers done in the last decade have been illustrated by the underground comics genius R. Crumb. Actually, it was three, two of which had Bigfoot themes and one was of an alien shown near a bed. One of those covers – specifically because of Crumb’s [...]
