Tribhuvan Nath is shown at the far left, in white, at a news conference in 2002, discussing foreign investments in newspapers in India. The well-known veteran Indian journalist Tribhuvan Nath, 86, died at 1:50 am on Monday, February 18, 2008, at his home in Panchkula, near Chandigarh, India. In addition to his newspaper work, Nath had a biological interest in Nepal, which inspired him to co-author a book entitled On The Yeti Trail: Search for the Elusive Snowman (New Delhi/London: UPB Publication, 1994; 119 pages long), with his late contemporary, Madan Mohan Gupta, a correspondent of the UPI.

Cryptozoology for Beginners
B.T. Makishima has kindly published on Sunday, February 17, 2008, a new blog entitled “My recommendation for a book for beginners.” Makishima writes: My recommendation for beginners in the field of cryptozoology who want a book to read about is Cryptozoology A to Z. I know, I know, it sounds like a little kid’s book. But, if you don’t believe me, check out this info. First of all, it is 258 pages long, second, it alphabetizes the names and histories of the cryptids, and third, well, I think no little kid would understand ANY of it. (Read the rest here.) [...]
Animal X Downloads
Yes, Loren Coleman is in the “Winged Creatures” episode, even if he is not in this new trailer from “Animal X.” The trailer was not placed online until 2008. Its appearance is a sign that all of the “Animal X” episodes from three seasons are now obtainable through online ordering. We are seeing a shift from DVDs to online ordering, instant obtaining of cryptozoology documentaries. The “Animal X” overview of this specific program includes images and words, beyond the trailer: Dan and Nat investigate unidentifiable winged creatures reported around the world in their latest investigation. They travel to Mexico, Point [...]
New Sahara Dinos
Eocarcharia dinops Fossil hunters have discovered two new meat-eating dinosaurs thanks to the fossils unearthed from the sands of the Sahara, according to media reports during the last week. The fossils represent previously unknown ferocious dinosaur predators that roamed the Earth about 110 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period, University of Chicago paleontologist Paul Sereno and co-author Stephen Brusatte reported in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. Kryptops palaios They named one Kryptops palaios, or “old hidden face,” because of a horny covering over its face. The other was named Eocarcharia dinops, or “fierce-eyed dawn shark,” for its razor-sharp teeth [...]
The Valentine Killer Who Saw Bigfoot
Lots of attention, needless to say, is being given by the media to the Northern Illinois University shootings on Valentine’s Day. I’ve posted my thoughts about that so-called “rampage” and Valentine’s dangers over at my Copycat Effect blog, here, here, here, and here. I felt now might be the time at Cryptomundo to publish an email you’ll find below. I’ve been holding onto until it seemed like an appropriate moment to share it. Insights into the mind of a Bigfoot eyewitness who turned into a killer is sometimes more confusing than one can imagine. The following was sent to me [...]
Search for Thylacines: “A Triumph of Hope…”
The Science Show has published a transcript of their recently broadcast program on “Tasmanian Tigers.” The program description details what is covered: “Catherine Medlock describes the Tasmanian Museum’s collection of young Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tigers. The museum has five of the nine specimens in existence. They were extinct on the mainland 5,000 years ago and were only found in Tasmania until more recent times despite reports that they are sighted from time to time. Nevertheless, there is no evidence they persist. The last Thylacine died in the Tasmanian zoo in 1936.” As their interview concludes, Catherine Medlock, Curator of Vertebrate [...]
Two New Wobbegongs Discovered
Known as carpet sharks to most of the rest of the world, two new species of wobbegongs, as they are called in Oz, have been found in Western Australian waters. WA Department of Fisheries shark researcher Justin Chidlow said there were now eight known wobbegong shark species in Australia. The new floral banded wobbegong has been spotted between Geraldton and Augusta and the new dwarf spotted wobbegong was found in shark fishery catches between Green Head and Mandurah, Mr Chidlow said. Wobbegongs, which are often sold in fish shops under the name of carpet shark, are probably the most common [...]
New Berkeley Bigfoot Exhibition
On Valentine’s Day, six years ago, I lost a friend; we all did, when the field of cryptozoology saw the death of a great man. Dr. Grover Krantz passed away, too young. (See his obituary here.) I am happy to exclusively announce today a new, brief exhibit that honors, by coincidence, Krantz’s legacy this month. From February 8th through February 29th, 2008, the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology (PHMA), Berkeley, California, has placed on display two Bigfoot casts, which had been donated by Grover Krantz to their collection. The specific exhibit was curated by Marco Centin, Exhibit Designer, at PHMA. [...]
Loch Ness Monster Filmmaker Dies
Ralph Bradshaw White, 66, a National Geographic contract cameraman who filmed the documentary Search for the Loch Ness Monster, died February 4, 2008, at the Glendale Adventist Medical Center in California, the Los Angeles Times announced on February 13. White died from complications of an aortic aneurysm, said his daughter, Krista Few of Yokosuka, Japan. White was most famous, in filmmaking circles, for his gripping footage that documented the 1985 discovery of the sunken Titanic. He had returned to the bottom of the ocean more than 30 times to film and recover artifacts from the ill-fated vessel. Ralph White enjoyed [...]
Beware Of Falling Moose
Photo courtesy Alaska State Troopers Okay, I’ve heard of falling frogs and fishes, of course, but a falling moose? This story comes to me thanks to the watchful eyes of Richard Hendricks, who has been looking up as well as around! I expect jokes to begin appearing about this incident in all kinds of places. For the moose, it was no joke. But strangely, it wasn’t the first time that it happened there, either. Read on. We’ve seen the highway signs that warn of falling rocks, and we’ve seen the ones that warn of moose crossing. Now Howard Peterson of [...]
