Via a press release from Duke University: Elwyn Simons with 1966 male skull (left) and much smaller and better preserved new female specimen | Megen Morr Brain, Size and Gender Surprises in Latest Fossil Tying Humans Humans, Apes and Monkeys Advanced X-ray technique was a key to findings in Duke-led study Durham, NC — A surprisingly complete fossil skull of an ancient relative of humans, apes and monkeys bears striking evidence that our remote ancestor was less mentally advanced than expected by about 29 million years ago. The second and most intact cranium found of Aegyptopithecus zeuxis was identified by [...]
Russia’s “Big White Man”
Soldiers named the visitor “Big White Man.” Hundreds of civilians, including policemen, also saw the “Big White Man.”
Living Fossil Recovers In Arizona
Few realize that the pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is a Pleistocene survivor, a relict from the Ice Ages. It is a unique species and the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae. The pronghorn was discovered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, in what today is South Dakota. For one small population, the endangered subspecies Sonoran pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis), occurring only in Arizona and Mexico, their dying population went from almost 140 animals to 21 pronghorns during the drought of 2002. Now the numbers have moved above 100, at the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in Arizona. See the article, [...]

Update: Kerala Thunderbird Photo
This photographic update and comparison on the recent “New Thunderbird Photos” posting shows a possible species that may or may not explain the Indian example. You be the judge. Regarding the “Thunderbird” photograph (above) taken in Kerala, India, French cryptozoology student Fabrice Tortey suggests that although “size evaluation in the sky without point of reference is rather tricky, I think the birds are probably black kites (Milvus migrans govinda). The shape of the tail is characteristic.” See two photos of this species below. I’m not certain how much can be seen of the tail from the distance demonstrated by this [...]
New Discovery: Gorgeted Puffleg
Breaking News From Reuters: A new blue-and-green-throated hummingbird species has been discovered in a cloud forest in Colombia, and already needs protection from human encroachment, the experts who found the bird said on Sunday. Called the gorgeted puffleg, the new species is easily twice as big as the thumb-sized hummingbirds found in the eastern United States, measuring between 3.5 inches and 4 inches (90 and 100 mm) in length, its discoverers said in answer to e-mailed questions. The name comes from the iridescent emerald green and electric blue patch on the throat — the gorge — on males, and from [...]
New Thunderbird Photos
Please click on image for full size version The above photograph was sent to me via a Cryptomundo reader. Maybe people are already aware of this photo of a giant bird sighting. And maybe it’s a hoax. It looks pretty real to me though. I was stunned when I first saw it. Wish I knew who took it. It is from a Hong Kong website, where people who fly RC airplanes post pictures. One of the pictures has an RC flying in front of an enormous eagle-looking bird. Kate, sent to Cryptomundo, May 2007 French cryptozoologist Michel Raynal forwards the [...]
The First Bigfoot Porn Film
The first (and hopefully last) graphic, boring, Bigfoot porn film has been discovered. In terms of full disclosure and capturing the total history of cryptocinema, I have to record a mention of this 15 minute film – a 1981 production – The Geek. The director is unknown, the producers are unknown, the writer is unknown, the editor is unknown, and most of the actors are too. One individual, Lynn Holmes, has placed The Geek in her acting credits on the IMDb. Are we to assume she is the woman being sexually violated by Bigfoot in this film? I only know [...]

The Dark Final Days of SITU
Did you know that the vast files and library of a great cryptozoological and Fortean organization were raped clean in their final days? If you read closely through the long list of cryptozoology books being offered for sale by Robert Girard, you will note that some are marked with “S. I. T. U.” in them. A few have “ex S.I.T.U. library, their stamp on title page,” reports Girard. Of course, these books he lists, no doubt, came legally into the hands of some collectors who have emptied their stock with Girard, but it merely reminded me of the sad ending [...]
