The mystery felid was identified as various kinds of cats before it was finally officially verified to be a Leptailurus serval. The African wildcat was caught near Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia, early Thursday, July 10, 2008. It is now on lock down and its owner could face misdemeanor criminal charges for bringing the illegal pet into the state. The Department of Natural Resources is working to locate its owner and find out how the animal found its way from the African savannahs to Atlanta. Several people have claimed the potentially dangerous cat, which may have been loose as long [...]

Martha Vineyard’s Great White: 1 Real, 1 Hoax
Update: A Boston man faced charges of reckless endangerment for allegedly making up a story about a shark sighting off Martha’s Vineyard on Thursday, July 10, 2008, police said. Michael Lopenzo, 60, is charged with telling people that he saw two 22-foot long sharks that weighed about 3,000 pounds each near State Beach, Edgartown Police Chief Paul Condlin said. Lopenzo gave his address as 17 Court St., in Boston, which is the address of the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans. But there were two sightings at two different beaches Thursday. One at State Beach where parts of “Jaws” was [...]
History In The Making: Bigfoot Body Taken?
Has the first Bigfoot body been taken? Ask yourself, how will the first Bigfoot be found, discovered, and displayed? Will it be through a highly publicized effort from a museum or zoological park, as during the 19th and early 20th century, or will it be due to some folks with military and law enforcement backgrounds from north Georgia? Does someone have a body already? What are we to make of this breaking news, tied to getting expedition subscribers? But maybe in this brave new world, will this be how such a discovery unfolds? The “Bigfoot Trackers” claim they have a [...]
Jaws Now Off Martha’s Vineyard & In Aussie Lake
The Associated Press is reporting that the island where Jaws was filmed got a real-life shark scare when two beaches were closed on Thursday, July 10, 2008, due to an unconfirmed sighting of a great white shark nearby. A spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation said state-run South Beach was closed for a time Thursday after the Coast Guard received reports of the shark sighting. Swimmers were also kept out of the water at State Beach in Edgartown. A plane was sent up to try to confirm the sighting. In 1974, Steven Spielberg chose Martha’s Vineyard for [...]
The Wood Bison Discovery Story
Could a bunch of large, hairy, near-human ape-men, or hirsute giants, be living unfound in America? A parallel story from just fifty years ago, suggests that this is a very real possibility. The largest land animal in Canada, the wood bison [shown above], had been disappearing from all over North America for centuries when the last animals were officially declared extinct in 1940. Then in 1957, a wonderful discovery occurred. During a regular air patrol, federal wildlife officers flying over a remote part of the Wood Buffalo National Park, Alberta, spotted a small, isolated herd of two hundred wood bison. [...]
Mystery Fish Photograph Revisited
People seemed to have so much fun yesterday with the alleged Bigfoot image from near Mt. Hood, it feels like your magnifying glasses may be polished off for another look at the “Mystery Fish Photo.” If you are new here, then you have to see this one too, and have your say. As oldtimers may recall, despite speculations, theories, thoughts, rumors, ideas, hypotheses, and claims, this longest standing mystery at Cryptomundo has never been fully solved. The postcard photo, originally sent to me by Phyllis Mancz of Ohio, has become such an enigmatic icon that it became part of the [...]
Cryptids’ Vet?
Variety is reporting on July 10, 2008 that Columbia Pictures has acquired a new motion picture property, Mythological Veterinarian. It is a comic pitch that will be written by Andrew Kurtzman and produced by Jimmy Miller. Principal Entertainment’s Danny Sherman will be executive producer.

Now that plot sounds rather strange. [...]
New 2008 Bigfoot Photo?
The same two individuals who have contributed trailcam photographs from near Mt. Hood to Cryptomundo have forwarded a new image from the same area. Here are the circumstances surrounding this photo: This picture was taken while we were driving down the road with our camea from home. I wanted to see what I could capture that was moving into the woods that couldn’t be seen. I took this from the car as we drove the road. I was so excited when we put this on the computer and this figure of a Bigfoot was walking back into the woods. This [...]
Update: New 2008 Nessie Video
Above, one of the two photographs of the original uncropped “Surgeon’s Photograph[s]” from 1934. A new video of the Loch Ness Monster has been taken. Here is the footage: The Garside video appears to show three or several disjoined darkly colored patches moving along on the surface of the Scottish lake. What do they show? Nessie? Otters? Waves? Wake of a boat? A toy? What do you think? How was it obtained? Here’s what is known: David Garside, 31, and his dad, Graham, of Glenside Road, Slaithwaite, were on holiday in Scotland in April 2008, when David saw what he [...]
