Breaking News: Platypus – 120 M Yrs Old Living Fossil
When the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) was first discovered by Europeans in 1798, no one believed it could be real. British scientists were at first convinced it must be a hoax. George Shaw, who produced the first description of the animal in 1799 in the Naturalist’s Miscellany, originally had his doubts about it being a real animal. Shaw cut up the dried skin to look for stitches. Robert Knox believed it may have been produced by some Oriental taxidermist by sewing a duck’s beak onto the body of a beaver-like animal. How would have zoology and cryptozoology dealt with such an [...]
Cow-Eating Tree Video
Still more on the “India’s Cow-Eating Trees”. A fascinating video report from tvdaijiworld India has been broadcast about the cow-eating tree, the eyewitness villagers, and the cow. Here is the footage, hosted by Gloria Rodrigues: ++++++ Update: David Pescovitz at Boing Boing did a good job of capturing a couple frames from the video, here.
The Sasquatch Gang Sets Bigfoot Studies Back 30 Years
A promotional photograph for The Sasquatch Gang may say it all. From what I’ve seen after an extended view of all the trailers I could find, the contemporarily-framed film The Sasquatch Gang may be one of the lamest Bigfoot movies ever made. The Sasquatch Gang sets back serious Bigfoot studies and Sasquatch research by 30 years to the era of bad Bigfoot paperbacks, fake footprints and mullet haircuts. (If that’s the endorsement they were searching for from me, there it is.) Beginning November 30, 2007, in limited release, to be followed by broad national screenings, The Sasquatch Gang hits theaters [...]
Africa’s Art Deco Dino: Njago Gunda
Syracuse Herald, May 15, 1921 In 1920, the Smithsonian Institution sent a 32-person expedition to Africa, which found unexplained tracks along the riverbank and heard mysterious “roars.” See the “Dinosauria” chapter of my field guide for more details. One hundred years ago, people would grab their weekend newspapers and hurry to find the Sunday supplements. There they might discover new adventures of explorers in deepest darkest Africa, follow the treks of famed safari leaders, and learn of new animals being found in the jungles. Take a moment today, reach back to that feeling, understand the world is not fully explored, [...]
Klyver’s Patty
This is a good photograph of the former Pennsylvania art professor Richard Klyver’s solid bronze sculpture, which is permanently housed at the International Cryptozoology Museum. Klyver created the Bigfoot, needless to say, from his sense of the Sasquatch shown in the Patterson-Gimlin footage. The sculpture was recently on temporary display in Watertown, Massachusetts. This photo was taken at the Mass Monster Mash, October 12, 2007, by Don Keating. Used with his permission. If interested in purchasing, please contact Klyver at windigo2@myfairpoint.net to talk to him about PayPal or snail mail check payment. Please click on the image for a larger [...]
In Celebration of Bigfoot’s Patty
Lost in the sands of time is the proper credit for the first person who called the large-breasted Bigfoot filmed with a hand-held camera by Roger Patterson on October 20, 1967, by the name Patty. But Patty she is and Patty she will remain. Here are some popular culture views of how artists and others have remembered hominology’s Patty on the way to her big 40th film debut anniversary. After today, she may not wish to give out her real age to visitors. Jeff H. Johnson’s sculpture of the Patterson Bigfoot (above and below) is a resin model, and not [...]
The Dover Demon Lives
Move over Ortiz, Manny and Beckett! Share the media airwaves Boston Red Sox! I will be on television around 4:15 p.m. on Boston’s “NewsDay Live,” this Friday, October 12th, on the New England Cable Network, speaking about Mysterious America and specifically, the Dover Demon. A figurine of the Dover Demon is displayed at the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine. The strange creature was spotted in Dover, Massachusetts, in 1977. The Dover Demon sculpture is by artist Steve Goodrich of New York State. (Photograph: Amber Waterman/Sun Journal.) This weekend (see poster below), I will also be speaking about the Dover [...]
Boing Boing Museum
Boing Boing is the big boy and girl on the block in blogging, there’s no two ways about it. In an article in today’s New York Times entitled “Nerd Chic Arrives on TV” by David Carr, it is noted that Boing Boing is expanding to television broadcasts via the internet, spurred on by the talented Xeni Jardin. But what Boing Boing, created by Mark Frauenfelder, does just with their blog is already rather amazing. According to that article: “Boing Boing has become one of the five most visited blogs on the Web, according to Comscore, with a monthly traffic of [...]
