Can you identify this mystery fish found on an old postcard? (Click on this image shared by Phyllis Mancz to see full size version.) I know, I know. The above photo is still a mystery, but how about some easier questions? What’s your Cryptozoology IQ? Okay, a couple questions are about aliens, but, overall, this is a good quick automated quiz to see how you rate. Take the short quiz on the FunTrivia.com site here. How did you do? (BTW, I will delete your comment if you give away any answers. That is just no fun for anyone else coming [...]
First Xenoglaux Seen Alive In Wild
American Bird Conservancy is reporting the first live sighting a few weeks ago of what is “considered a holy grail of South American ornithology,” Xenoglaux loweryi. Commonly called the long-whiskered owlet – alone in its own genus Xenoglaux, meaning “strange owl” – it was first discovered in 1976. Researchers have caught a few specimens in nets after dark but had not seen it in nature, until was spotted in February in a northern Peruvian rainforest. It was encountered three times during the day and its calls recorded at night in the Alto Nieva’s Peruvian reserve, known locally as the Area [...]
New Bamboo Found in Appalachia
Hill Cane, Iowa State University photo We tend to think that we … know our own biodiversity, and that there isn’t much left to discover in a place like the United States. I think this demonstrates that that’s not true.Lynn Clark, professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology, Iowa State University Surprise, surprise! Two known species of North American bamboo discovered 200 years ago have been joined by a brand new one just found in the last year. The “hill cane” was discovered in the Appalachian Mountains. This new species of bamboo (Arundinaria appalachiana) grows only to about 6 feet, [...]
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks
During the next ten days, I will be sharing Mark A. Hall comprehensive contribution, “The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks,” which completes the triad of his treatments detailing his examination of North American unknown hairy hominoid footprints in the context of the Ray Wallace hoaxes. The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 1: Introduction by Mark A. Hall As the new year of 2003 began, there was a welcome shift away from the excesses in newspaper reporting on Bigfoot that the USA experienced in December of 2002. The Denver (Colorado) Post in its issue for 5 January 2003 [...]
Southern Bigfoot, Sex, Orgone & Trailers
Double-entendre: A word or phrase having a double meaning; the use of such a word or phrase. Here’s my double-entendre for the month: trailers. Below is the video trailer to the forthcoming documentary by writer/director Sean Whitley, Southern Fried Bigfoot. As a trailer, you will note it does not have CG identifications of the people being interviewed. But I have a feeling many of you will know who all of these guys being interviewed are. Trailers are teasers to encourage people to come watch the whole film. I think you will be intrigued by what you see. Within this trailer, [...]
More on Aussie Serpent
An illustration of a central ranges taipan. Original news of find reported here on Cryptomundo. New deadly species found A NEW species of the world’s most venomous snake, the taipan, has been discovered. The central ranges taipan was found in the central desert of Western Australia but its habitat could extend into the Northern Territory and South Australia. Dr Mark Hutchinson, from the SA Museum, caught the snake crossing a dirt track on a sunny afternoon during a survey of the Ngaanyatjarra lands late last year. The find was announced yesterday. Laboratory analysis at the WA Museum, and DNA testing [...]
New Aussie Serpent
New species of taipan found AUSTRALIAN researchers have found a new species of taipan snake slithering in the outback. Similar to the western brown snake, the still unnamed species was discovered during an expedition to a remote region about 200km northwest of Uluru in September last year. Dr Mark Hutchinson, reptile and amphibian curator at the South Australian Museum, caught the immature female taipan while it was crossing a dirt track. He said the reptile was about one metre long but, because it was one of the most venomous snakes in the world, he did not inspect the creature on [...]
Kill Or No Kill?
Would you kill a Bigfoot, if you got the chance? The cover illustration by Dick Klyver is of Homo floresiensis, a Proto-Pygmy, on the front of The Field Guide of Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates, 2006.
Bigfooters’ Wallace Problem
Mark A. Hall has written extensively on the question of Ray Wallace and his “footcasts.” The following 2003 article from his journal, Wonders is merely one of a number of such examinations, the most recent of which was published last year. Used by permission. The Bigfoot Community’s Wallace Problem by Mark A. Hall © 2003 The seekers of Bigfoot in the North American West have been unable to put the Wallace Problem behind them. At the end of 2002 the time had arrived to accept the meaning of the fake feet possessed by the heirs of Ray Wallace, a wealthy [...]
Meldrum Tapdances
In the current issue of TAPS Paramagazine on newsstands now and via mail (you can click on the ad to the right), you will find a new “Q and A” session with Dr. Jeff Meldrum about Bigfoot. Yes, I have the cover article on Sea Serpents plus a list-column on New England Lake Monsters, but what I wanted to really mention was the Meldrum article. I only learned about it after my issue came recently. Meldrum, of course, doesn’t “tapdance” in the traditional negative meaning, i.e. that he is avoiding topics. He dances about in fine form, as in cutting-a-rug [...]
