We need Superluminal for this.

Wasn't me, I was indoors that day.

Always interested in Bigfoot stuff, and weird beasties in general. It seems easier for me to accept that there could indeed be such a thing as Bigfoot than to accept that there is such a thing as a Loch Ness monster. I reckon that's due to my being unfamiliar with the Bigfoot regions, their geography, history and social circumstances whereas the Loch Ness area (and the background of the monster claims) is one that I know extremely well. Why shouldn't there be an undiscovered beast in those far off exotic forests, but hee-haw in our loch? I don't think there's such a thing as Bigfoot, as people who know it well have explained to me why there can't be such a thing just as I've explained to them why the Loch Ness Monster isn't a thing, but I think remoteness and an air of mystery can attract bullshit from afar pretty successfully. The dragons have always been at the edges of the maps.

I watched a show last night where they're looking for a surviving population of Thylacines (Tasmanian tiger). I don't know if that would qualify as a crypto though, since they are known to have previously existed.

Cool animals, those. Has a cat's name, looks like a dog but is Skippy's cousin. I think the term cryptozoology applies to things that definitely existed but are extinct, though.

I hope they find them. That would be cool.

Yeah, I guess it does. But apparently, no one considers Cryptozoology to be real science though.

So that's interesting itself. Animals previously thought to be extinct are rediscovered every now and again.
