Has anyone seen any crypto-creatures?

Question

Like, Bigfoot,Mothman,Loch ness...

Answer 1

Nope.  As with many other mythological creatures of the past, there are no real eyewitnesses.  These creatures live on due to hoaxes, ignorance and rumor.

Answer 2

no i have not, but i am still searching, maybe one day i will see a crypto creature.

Answer 3

yeah yeah, i have seen one. i call it: "oh-hail-ya-mighty-being". It was a big round, football-like creature. it bounced high up in the sky then came back then bounced back again and so on. although i was frightened, but i asked him who he was. to which he replied something like "igs bent lerfdigg" or something. It has square yellow eyes, spherical body, conical face, 6hands and 1leg.

Answer 4

no sorry

Answer 5

Anecdotes and fakes mostly... I had an uncle from Inverness who claimed to have seen the Loch Ness Monster of three occasions. Loch Ness is a wonderful and mysterious place and he was a great story-teller.

It is highly unlikely that there are any undiscovered species of large animals on this planet. Large animals need large amounts of food, they have large breeding colonies and they leave large bones. None of these have ever been found for the animals you mention.

Answer 6

I have only seen photos of animals that were unknown or thought to be extinct. Among them would be prehistoric fish, birds and reptiles. I was also unaware until recently of a great ape that looks like a cross between a chimp and gorilla. What is interesting is that people are finding large animals that weren't thought to exist in our present day. There is also the possibility of experiments producing hybrids few are aware of.

Answer 7

Anecdotes only - and a few picture that are known fakes (the Bigfoot movie and the Loch Ness picture)

Answer 8

I hav not seen any in person but a friend sent me the article below:

Phylis Canion lived in Africa for four years. She's been a hunter all her life and has the mounted heads of a zebra and other exotic animals in her house to prove it. But the roadkill she found last month outside her ranch was a new one even for her, worth putting in a freezer hidden from curious onlookers: Canion believes she may have the head of the mythical, bloodsucking chupacabra.

"It is one ugly creature," Canion said, holding the head of the mammal, which has big ears, large fanged teeth and grayish-blue, mostly hairless skin.

Canion and some of her neighbors discovered the 40-pound bodies of three of the animals over four days in July outside her ranch in Cuero, 80 miles southeast of San Antonio. Canion said she saved the head of the one she found so she can get to get to the bottom of its ancestry through DNA testing and then mount it for posterity.

She suspects, as have many rural denizens over the years, that a chupacabra may have killed as many as 26 of her chickens in the past couple of years.

"I've seen a lot of nasty stuff. I've never seen anything like this," she said.

What tipped Canion to the possibility that this was no ugly coyote, but perhaps the vampire-like beast, is that the chickens weren't eaten or carried off — all the blood was drained from them, she said.

Chupacabra means "goat sucker" in Spanish, and it is said to have originated in Latin America, specifically Puerto Rico and Mexico.

Canion thinks recent heavy rains ran them right out of their dens.

"I think it could have wolf in it," Canion said. "It has to be a cross between two or three different things."

She said the finding has captured the imagination of locals, just like purported sightings of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster have elsewhere.

But what folks are calling a chupacabra is probably just a strange breed of dog, said veterinarian Travis Schaar of the Main Street Animal Hospital in nearby Victoria.

"I'm not going to tell you that's not a chupacabra. I just think in my opinion a chupacabra is a dog," said Schaar, who has seen Canion's find.

The "chupacabras" could have all been part of a mutated litter of dogs, or they may be a new kind of mutt, he said.

As for the bloodsucking, Schaar said that this particular canine may simply have a preference for blood, letting its prey bleed out and l*****g it up.

Chupacabra or not, the discovery has spawned a local and international craze. Canion has started selling T-shirts that read: "2007, The Summer of the Chupacabra, Cuero, Texas," accompanied by a caricature of the creature. The $5 shirts have gone all over the world, including Japan, Australia and Brunei. Schaar also said he has one.

"If everyone has a fun time with it, we'll keep doing it," she said. "It's good for Cuero."

Answer 9

No, sorry can't say that I have.
