Why do some unknown hominoids have bare knees? Wooden representation of a Proto-Pygmy from Africa. Witness drawing of a Yowie from Australia. In 1913, Muscovite V. A. Khakhlov submitted to the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences his extraordinarily detailed report about the unknown hairy hominids of eastern Asia. In one section of the document, Khakhlov gathered reports from the native Kazakhs of Dzungaria. Dzungaria is named after a Mongolian kingdom which existed in Central Asia during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Today, Dzungaria is a geographical region within the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, northwestern China. The area is a largely [...]
Scientific Names for Bigfoot
Harry Trumbore’s drawing (above) of the Himalayan Yeti. I wrote this paper about a decade ago, but just ran across it recently. Considering that Craig Woolheater’s discussion today is “Down Classification Avenue With Sasquatch,” it seemed appropriate to revisit my thoughts on this matter, more specifically, here today. Scientific Names for Bigfoot What is the scientific name for “Bigfoot”? This is a question with a few complex answers. “Bigfoot,” of course, is the post-1958 name for those (seemingly) unknown hairy hominoids found in the Pacific Northwest of the USA with large human-like footprints and an upright stance. With the Canadian [...]
Need $20,000? Wanted: CZ Family!
Are you a cryptozoologically-involved family and interested in being on ABC-TV’s program “Wife Swap”? I’m serious. An ABC producer just contacted me and wants help in finding such a family. Here’s some info the producer sent along: In case you are not familiar with the show, the premise of “Wife Swap” is simple: for two weeks, two wives from two different families exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it’s like to live a different woman’s life. The show airs on ABC on Monday nights at 8pm Eastern – family hour! It offers a positive experience [...]

James Kim and Squatching
You don’t need to read here that James Kim, CNET senior editor, has been sadly discovered deceased after being lost for 11 days in Oregon. Or wonderfully that his family was found safe and well-fed. It is all over the media, including this good link at Boing Boing to a site for donations directly to the family. My thoughts are with Kim’s family and friends. And one friend is familiar to many of us. I want to especially send my heartfelt condolences to that friend of James Kim’s, Scott Herriott. They worked together at Tech TV. Scott is remembered in [...]
The Agogwe
I want to share an addition to the International Cryptozoology Museum, a new sculpture whose photographs are seen about this blog. It represents a depiction of the Agogwe from Tanzania (Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania), and gives me this opportunity to introduce these hominoids here. The following is my summary description of this unknown African hominoid: Agogwe The Agogwe is a downy-haired little unknown biped reported throughout east Africa. Said to have yellowish, reddish skin underneath its rust-colored hair, the Agogwe allegedly inhabits the forest of this remote region. One of the most discussed sightings occurred near the turn of [...]

Emela-Ntouka: Killer of Elephants
Click on above image, by Corey H., to see full-size version Flashback and Update… The Emela-ntouka has been an unknown animal of some confusion in Africa. A few chroniclers have felt it was merely another named cryptid representing the sightings of the Mokele-mbembe. But as revealed by a carving (below) seen here for the first time earlier this year, it appears to be a beast unlike the saurapod-like Mokele-mbembe. On page 219 of one of my recent field guides, written with Patrick Huyghe, we noted, among several different kinds of alleged “dinosaurs” in Africa, “one animal is called by locals [...]
John Green on Patterson-Gimlin Footage

What’s Being Said?
“Davis says that he can explain all the unusual features of the subject as that of a human being.” – M. K. Davis’ press release, written by M. K. Davis, Nov. 26, 2006. “When I say living in the wild, I do not mean feral, but ‘out of contact’. I know from the film that it is human, and that it manipulates its environment and has a culture of some sort.” – M. K. Davis, email to Loren Coleman, Nov. 26, 2006. “I will explain in due time.” – M. K. Davis, email to Loren Coleman, Nov. 26, 2006. “Yes [...]
