The Przewalski’s horse, a Pleistocene megafauna survivor, can be called a “living fossil,” in the popularized employment of that phrase. Certainly, this horse is of interest to cryptozoologists. In the society we live in, this is an animal your daughter may know more about than you do. The species (Equus ferus przewalskii, Equus caballus przewalskii, or Equus przewalski poliakov – classification is debated) is the last truly wild horse, first recognized by zoology in Mongolia in 1881. It is an animal of discovery, with lessons to teach in cryptozoology. Besides, the Przewalski’s horse story overlaps with that of the Almas. [...]
Yahoo Picks Cryptomundo
The following is up and active on the Yahoo home page. Click on the direct link below noted at their “Cryptomundo” title for all of the hyperlinks Yahoo has added to the exchange. This is a direct copy of their interview, which they have given me permission to post. I added a few familiar Cryptomundo photos to keep your retro visual interests occupied.- LC Cryptomundo by Jon Brooks Early last year, we took a look at Cryptomundo, a site that scours the Web for news of “the most elusive and rare animals (cryptids) on this planet Earth.” Since then, sightings [...]
Luxembourg Wildman Video
Please refer to Jerry Glover’s previous “Walking With Wildmen” and Luxembourg “Wildman” or “Bigfoot” specific articles for his insights. Here is the video, itself: I am a middle-aged citizen of Luxembourg who prefers to stay anonymous. In 2002 during winter, i was on my daily walk to film forest life. But before i could reach the forest i noticed some prints on the snow covered ground. Then i saw a hundreds meter away a dark and very huge figure. I tried to get it on the film. The creature disappeared in a forest after a few minutes. I just made [...]

Walking with Wildmen Part 1
In the following three installments, Cryptomundo brings you the complete article by Jerry Glover examining what the cover of the magazine proclaims as information on the “European Bigfoot.” But out of all due respect to these European Wudewasa, let’s just stick with calling them Wildpeople. Don’t be surprised if in one of these panels you see an odd foot being used for size comparison.

In Pursuit of Cryptozoology
You have many choices of events to attend during the last quarter of 2007. Here are some visual reminders of the upcoming end of the year Cryptozoology conferences: Saturday, December 1, 2007, “Introduction to Cryptozoology,” Mythic Creatures, American Museum of Natural History, New York City, New York. The AMNH model of Gigantopithecus is part of the “Mythic Creatures” exhibition. These conferences and other recent gatherings have produced some rather elaborate and intriguing forms of promotional art, demonstrating a new love of monsters, creatures, and cryptids on posters. Perhaps we are entering a new era of creative imagery in cryptozoological art [...]
Soviet Hominologists Were Right: Siberian Neandertals
Palaeoarchaeological findings appear to be catching up to hominology, the segment of cryptozoology studying unknown hominoids. For some time, a few of us have studied various reports of what might be surviving Neandertals* in Siberia and China. Whether called Mecheny, Mirygdy, Chuchunaa, Mulen, or Wildmen, some Soviet Snowmen Commission scientists and a few Chinese in the last century theorized we might be dealing with relict populations of Neandertals. Especially intriguing are the Chuchunaa, the often clothed, eastern version of the Mirygdy, seen in Eastern Siberia. (Perhaps further research will also show the fossil Neandertals were a bit larger in their [...]
From Russia, With Love: New Snowman Photo
Thanks to Cryptomundo correspondent Oleg who lives in the Urals, the actual photograph that goes with the blog written in August (completely reproduced below) is posted here, for the first time. The correct Snowman photograph is now here, to revise the earlier confusing mix of a compelling story and a mismatched fake photograph. What do you think of the image, folks? At the bottom is the fake photo that was placed, originally on the German site, with the Ural Snowman sighting info. ++++++ The Russian newspaper Volkhov reported in March 2006 about Nikolaj Avdeev’s field work in the southern Urals.1 [...]
Cryptozoology’s Subdivisions
Yep, that’s me. Getting carried away with my passion for all things cryptozoological. I noticed today on the web that one of those “ask” sites had this question: “What are the different fields in Cryptozoology?” This was their “Best Answer – Chosen By Voters” – to wit – “Cryptozoology is a branch of zoology; I have never heard of it being divided into ‘fields.’” Darn. Yikes, they picked the wrong answer by internet consensus? Okay, I couldn’t let that remain unanswered more completely, so here’s my Cryptomundo-refined answer to the question of cryptozoological subfields. +++ Cryptozoology, a sixty-year-old new subdiscipline [...]
