In Australia, as it turns out, there are many borderline good videos that may show evidence of the survival of the thylacine. Are some of these not merely dingo? Do I see some striping on the rear quarters of these animals? Are any of these the “Patterson-Gimlin film” of a thylacine? You be the judge. Thanks to “on the track.”
Texas Bigfoot
In celebration of the Bigfoot gathering in Jefferson, Texas, here’s an old classic clip from Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell about our one of the more infamous tall tales about our favorite cryptid.
Thylacines and More
Can we find any of these? Are some of the “extinct animals” merely today’s cryptids? Is this footage of a Thylacine? Compare it with all the known footage of living thylacines.
Megalania
Does a Komodo Dragon-type monitor roam the fringes of the Outback of Australia? Is there a surviving population of a huge species of the family Varanidae in Oz? Rex Gilroy thinks so, and he rolls the name off his tongue with ease, Megalania, the man eating giant lizard:
Alien Big Cat Footage
In this clip from “Animal X,” you can see a sampling of various “Alien Big Cats” videotapes, which exist of the usually black unknown felines seen in the “mysterious British countryside, a region rich in history and deep routed legends.” The following is allegedly footage of the mysterious “Beast of Banff,” showing an Alien Big Cat from Banffshire, Scotland. Finally, the comic cultural impact of these sightings is demonstrated in the “Beast of Bodmin.”
International Cryptozoology Museum Video
Can Cryptomundians help me? I’m attempting to locate online video clips of any appearances of the International Cryptozoology Museum (ICM) on documentary programs. I’ve only found one. The following YouTube footage was taken at the ICM in 2005, by Lone Wolf Productions. The clip is from the History Channel’s “Deep Sea Detectives” segment on the Loch Ness Monster. (Please ignore where I misspoke in the doc – six miles, not one – as this post is only about obtaining the ICM footage.) Can any of you point to YouTube or other online video postings that have snippets of the museum, [...]
Meldrum on Anthropoidipes Tracks
Since Jeff Meldrum has written an important paper on the Anthropoidipes ameriborealis (Sasquatch) tracks, I thought folks might enjoy this mini-lecture by him about their footprints: Due to the fact the opening of the Canadian Discovery Channel video above is about the 2005 Manitoba video, it should be shown here to complete the circle. The description by the individual who viewed it seemed a bit over-compelling. While I think it is important to study this video and work needs to be done to see it enhanced, I’m not sure I would make all the claims that the viewer quoted above [...]
Anthropoidipes ameriborealis
Some species have been described and accepted by science, merely from their footprints. This has occurred most famously with dinosaurs. Jeff Meldrum, Ph. D., Idaho State University, has come forth with a new moniker by which we may talk about Sasquatch. But it is not a “new name” for Bigfoot. Meldrum has given the tracks a new label, Anthropoidipes ameriborealis (“North American ape foot”), in his just-published paper, “Ichnotaxonomy of Giant Hominid Tracks in North America.” Meldrum sends along this: “Point of clarification — Anthropoidipes ameriborealis is NOT a proposed name for sasquatch. It is a published name for tracks/footprints [...]
First Live Sightings of Shepherd’s Ziphiid
Shepherd’s beaked whale, Tasmacetus shepherdi. The oceans hold many natural history treasures and wonders. New animals are being discovered at a faster rate from the seas than in freshwater or on land. But these finds from the marine environment often get little attention from Homo sapiens versus, say, a new giant peccary or a new monkey. Overnight, famed marine biologist Bob Pitman shared with me breaking news about several new marine mammal species. The news will not get as much of a read as a fuzzy picture of a land mammal from the woods of Pennsylvania or of a rapid [...]
New Species of Tropical Pacific Beaked Whale?
In the latest edition of Marine Mammal Science there is an article about a likely new species of Mesoplodon (a beaked whale). As Robert Pitman says in an email tonight, “the last two years two new species of dolphins were also described in the pages of MMS – snubfin dolphin (Orcaella heinsohni) and costero (Sotalia guianensis). Genetics has revolutionized cetacean systematics – talk about cryptic species!” The new Marine Mammal Science, 23(4): 954–966 (October 2007), carries an article entitled “A Divergent mtDNA Linegage Among Mesoplodon Beaked Whales: Molecular Evidence for a New Species in the Tropical Pacific?” by Merel L. [...]
