Cryptozoology

[Invader Bloo]

Anyone beleive in this besides me? It's the study of animals that haven't been proven yet, here's a list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cryptids

I beleive in some of it like Bigfoot, Giant Anaconda, Yeti, Tasmaninan Tiger (which was a real animal but is extinct but rumors say there's some left),etc..

But some is just gay, goatman!??, Lizard Man!??, New Jersey Devil!? Peopel will beleive anything.

So what's everyone's opinion on this? I only started be interested in this stuff ebcause of Dib.

To be honest, unless there is actual (and accurate) proof of some of these cryptids, I going to dismiss them as hoax until then.

For many decades, people said the same thing about animals that we now consider ordinary, if not mundane, like the Giant Panda, Mountain Gorilla, Okapi and many others. Every year, at least one species of animal, often something quite large(like the "new" species of Clouded Leopard), is discovered, or in some cases, REdiscovered after it was thought to be long extinct. Yes, there are hoaxes, but very often, reports are too consistent to simply ignore. One such hoax that I DO know of, though it's never been "officially" solved as such, involves Lee County, SC's, very own "Lizard Man". I know that this was my very tall cousin, the late Lucious Elmore, dressed in a suit made of a Halloween costume and some butterbean hulls from his truck farm, that he'd made to scare off would-be thieves. He'd had several farm pumps and other expensive bits of equipment vandalized by punk kids, and with the suggestion of his brother-in-law and some sewing skills provided by his wife, what was to become one of the biggest news sensations of the '80s was born!

Yes exactly PBL. Notice how alot of those are large animals so there's possibilities some large mammals are alive. Plus, the giant anaconda is pretty beilvable. Rumor has it that the snake was too large to carry out of the Amazon. But alot are just insane a giant goat like creature that walks on two legs, that's just wrong. Someoen should make a comic about goatman, as a super secret super-hero who stops crime as a paranormal creature.

Also on the Wiki list it says Greys (the more common alien that you see in commercials, TVs & movies) as cryptids, huh?

I've been interested in the Thunderbird for a while, and there's always Bigfoot!

I love this stuff! I'm a firm believer in Sasquatch, the yeti, Nessie, Ogopogo and other sea monsters, ghosts, the Jersey Devil and the Chupacabra. Even if their not real (though I'm sure they are) they sure are fun to believe in.

for a while i wanted to go to South America and SHOOT a Thunderbird, but i thought about the ecological impact of killing even one of them, and of the corporate exploitation and tourism, and i decided against it.

Don't we have Thunderbirds up here? I've heard of a lost photo that actually depicts a dead one.

in Northern US i assume? Maybe. I believe they have migrated south, though. The Hopi and Pueblo used to see them, and the Mississipi, too, but they now are dwelling in S. America (only the densest jungle) and in the Pacific Islands.
