This is a direct copy of their interview, which they have given me permission to post. I added a few familiar Cryptomundo photos to keep your retro visual interests occupied.- LC Cryptomundo by Jon Brooks Early last year, we took a look at Cryptomundo, a site that scours the Web for news of “the most elusive and rare animals (cryptids) on this planet Earth.” Since then, sightings [...]

Happy Halloween, Cryptomundians!
I know what a lot of you do. Your day sort of starts off slowly, or ends like Sloop in that other Portland. As he says: So, I’ve been bored at work and stumbled upon lots of weird websites, like Cryptomundo, Forgetomori…Sloop Research indicates 63% of you, that’s right, you, our audience, are regular visitors to this site. That’s encouraging. I’m glad we are saying enough here of interest to keep you coming back. How involved and visible are we? It appears someone coined a name to talk about us, obviously including you, the regulars, this week: Cryptomundians. A blogster [...]
Identikit Used In Cryptozoology Discoveries
Drawings of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda) by artist Stephen Nash were used in Peru to rediscover the primate. The use of identikit illustrations in support of the cryptozoology method is demonstrated often. The objective is to discovery what is already ethnoknown, in terms of local wildlife. Drawings from scratch, under the direction of locals, are a source of primary information. But oftentimes, identikit materials are used in the field for gathering and fine-tuning visual information. Sometimes, if available, a photograph shown to local residents and indigenous peoples is successful in gathering more data on new animals. This is [...]

Japan’s Standing Panda & More Video
Did you know that this strange bipedal behavior of a standing red panda has been all the rage in Japan? Here’s a fun video on a diversity of the following noted Fortean and cryptozoological topics, which ends with a suggested solution to the Standing Panda’s appearance. Mothman; Chupacabras; Bigfoot (with a ghost face in the background); Tsuchinoko (crypto-creature famous in Japan); Nessie; Alien with FBI/KGB/Gestapo agents (actually a “Talk of the Times” newspaper hoax); Flatwoods Monster; The Doll with growing hair (another typically Japanese Forteana); Aliens play with cattle mutilations; Crop circles, by drawing Doraemon; A play on a famous [...]
The Sasquatch Gang Sets Bigfoot Studies Back 30 Years
A promotional photograph for The Sasquatch Gang may say it all. From what I’ve seen after an extended view of all the trailers I could find, the contemporarily-framed film The Sasquatch Gang may be one of the lamest Bigfoot movies ever made. The Sasquatch Gang sets back serious Bigfoot studies and Sasquatch research by 30 years to the era of bad Bigfoot paperbacks, fake footprints and mullet haircuts. (If that’s the endorsement they were searching for from me, there it is.) Beginning November 30, 2007, in limited release, to be followed by broad national screenings, The Sasquatch Gang hits theaters [...]
More On Man-Eating Plants
You saw the posting here entitled “India’s Cow-Eating Trees”, and then might have seen it was picked up by Boing Boing. As David Pescovitz wrote, “Loren Coleman detours into ‘cryptobotany.’” Ah, the path less traveled. Map: The entire distribution range of the Venus Flytrap. Did they come down in a meteorite impact? Since then, there’s been several blogs around the internet snapping at a chance to mention man-eating trees. Now the news articles are appearing. One of the most detailed appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, which tips its cap to cryptozoologists, and points Bay Area residents in the direction [...]
Jacobs’ Creature: A Bonobo?
Comparison posted on Boing Boing, which referred back to When A Mangy Bear Is Just A Mangy Bear, posted here. While I consider the “Jacobs’ Creature” seen in the widely publicized photos a mangy bear, speculations have been far afield from the animals that might actually match it. It seems people are using a common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) to make sense of the configuration of the contoured animal. Since there is not even one “juvenile Sasquatch” around for comparison, why haven’t those who want to ignore the bear cubs in the photos merely go straight for the bonobo (Pan paniscus), [...]
WV “African Lion” Updates

Photo: Baystatereplicas.com. On Friday, October 26, 2007, and the day before, the West Virginia Metro News, a radio service out of Charleston, broadcast followups to the recent reports of a “full-grown, male African lion.” Here are their two news items: Trout, W. Va. – Jim Shortridge has been hunting his entire life and says he knows what he saw. “A lot of people doesn’t believe it, but it doesn’t [...]
