is there a specific type of animal that you are researching, or are you just doing general research?
Is there any specific type of animal research that appeals to you?

Yes, just general research that I have been doing since 2005. I would say the Cryptid research that appeal to me most are the sea serpents and lake creatures, such as: Caddy, Ogopogo, Igopogo, Nahuelito, Manipogo, Tahoe Tessie, Champ, Mokele mbembe, the list goes on and on.

I knew about Champ and and Nessie but I did not know that there were so many others!

The first thing that popped into my head was this:

Is the Jersey Devil, truly a cryptid or is just folklore?
Thanks

Feel free to post questions to my page too.  :)

Yes the Jersey Devil is considered a cryptid because it supposedly has been described as being animal like. It is described as being three to four feet and a half high with a head like a dog, long neck, and wings about three feet long. Because it has only been seen and not captured it is also considered a mythical creature.

Cryptozoology is the study of unknown animals or creatures whose existence have not been proved by science. Some examples of unknown creatures or animals include the Yeti, Loch ness monster and Tasmanian Tiger. Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience because it relies mostly on alleged sightings and stories by people who have seen them. The unknown animals are referred to as "Cryptids"

I just thought the Devil was Snooki without her makeup on.  ;)

Joking.

Well, the Dodo did exist but is not a Cryptid because it's not unknown. The unicorn could be one though, possibly a type of horse that hasn't been found yet.

What's the strangest Cryptid you've ever heard of?

Probably the Moa. I just can't imagine seeing a bird without any wings, lol.

That sounds creepy. I wiki'd it and this picture came up.

I do reckon if it were around when people walked the earth, it was fairly easy to club the brains out of one and have dinner. LOL.

Yep that's a Moa. That is probably one of the scariest pictures of the Moa ever!

Do you believe in Big Foot?  I don't.  We've been patrolling the forests of the Northwest and Canada by air and nobody's ever spotted one of those things with verifiable proof.

You have to be a little more cafreul about the Yeti because the Buddhists in that part of the world regard Yeti as a real entity in their mythology.

I think it could be possible that Big Foot exists(because supposedly there is evidence), however I really believe that a lot of the sightings have been hoaxes. Anyone could buy a costume that resembles an ape like creature and make a good video and fool people.

I watch this show on the Travel Channel called "Mysteries at the Museum" and on there--I can't recall what state the place was in, but it was the northwest US, and they claimed to have like a slide with fecal matter on it that they claim came from Big Foot.

I don't know what bothered me more. That someone took a sample, or that the museum KEPT it after all this time!  :(
