“I have no fear of losing my life. If I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.” – Steve Irwin Steve Irwin, the worldwide phenom, the popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed a year ago, on September 4, 2006, by a stingray, while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44. Crikey, I miss his sense of humor on new nature shows! Irwin’s death hit a lot of people deeply. The man who had such a large heart for animals, [...]
The Bestiary
I am updating this item. Wisconsin Public Radio, who produced this program, nationally broadcast their “The Bestiary” program over the September 2nd weekend, and now have a very attractive webpage about it here. Public Radio International (PRI) broadcast the interviews they conducted earlier this summer with various people interested in fantastic beasts and cryptozoology in the program entitled “The Bestiary.” It is a creative, entertaining production done in the PRI tradition of mixing sounds, music, voices, and other audio treats to keep the listener interested as they explore the subject. I especially liked the choice of the bumper music: “Abominable [...]
African Americans, Snallygasters & Mokele-Mbembes
Mokele-mbembe being killed by Pygmies; drawn by Bill Rebsamen and used with permission. Who are today’s and tomorrow’s African American cryptozoologists? When I was at the 5th Annual Texas Bigfoot Conference, held October 14-16, 2005, I found it was a good event. I discovered the gathering was attended by a wider diversity of people than I have seen in my three decades of presenting at Fortean, cryptozoological, and Bigfoot gatherings. Of the 500 people there, I noticed more families, more women, more Hispanics, and more Native peoples than at any other public Bigfoot meeting, conference, and presentation I’ve personally experienced.

Cuero’s Chupacabras Tee-Shirts
Photograph by Sonny Long, Victoria Advocate. A new creature report or series of sightings has turned into a “flap,” this time in Cuero, Texas. A flap is the term (with origins in the Air Force treatment of groups of ufo sightings) where there is a great deal of official and media attention, in this case related to a “monster,” such as happened in Texas during August, and now moving into September. What is part of the popular culture outcome from this out-of-control interest in such a beast? A new cryptid tee-shirt, of course. You’ve seen multiple examples of this recently. [...]

Sasquatch News
This actually is fairly well-done, showing a “new video” from an entirely different point of view. It’s funny too.
John Green: Sasquatch Chronicler
John Green (right) interviews Albert Ostman about Ostman’s 1924 Sasquatch abduction incident in British Columbia. As a newspaper man from Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia, John Green began investigating Sasquatch reports in 1957, at the age of 30, interviewing witnesses and conducting on-site inquiries. He published several monographs and then a book on the subject, Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us in 1975. Turning 80 years old in 2007, John Green is one of North America’s foremost Bigfoot researchers and enjoying the new reprint of his bible of the field, Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us. British Columbia Reporter Michelle Vanderpol profiles [...]
Patty Tattoo
Here you have yet another tattoo, one of a rather hairless (apparently) version of the Patterson Bigfoot. Cryptomundo reader pdxbigfoot writes: I’ve been getting tattooed for about 20 yrs and got this about 13 yrs ago. It’s a very interesting artist’s rendition of “Patty.” I have plans of a partial Skookum mask on the left side of my face in my later years as I wear heavy black work [clothes?] on my right side now. Enjoy!!
Now Appearing On “El Aguacate”
I just appeared on the BBC radio in Ecuador “Radio City.” I was invited to come on by María Gracia Dejo, the producer of the radio station “associated with the BBC of London in Ecuador ‘Radio City’ and with the most important newspaper of the country, El Universo.” Here’s what Ms. Dejo had to say about their program: In Radio City, we have a late lifestyle show called “El Aguacate”, where we have interviews from around the world with personalities from entertainment, music, cusine, sports, science, culture, technology, tourism and more mixed with news and music. We are very interested [...]
