I was on another board recently and there were a lot of Cryptozoological discussions going on that were interesting.I thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss here.

Cryptozoology, as the links explain, is the study of and/or search for creatures who are rumoured to exist but that there is very little plausible evidence for.Examples include Big Foot/Yeti, Kraken, Chupacabras, Loch Ness Monster, Werewolves, Vampires, Bunyips etc......more info on these and others in the links.

So what your opinions? Do you believe in any of the creatures mentioned in the above links? Have ever had any experiences? What do you think of Cryptozoology as a science?

Personally I can't say I believe in all the creatures people say exist but if you read through descritions of some of them such as the Kraken they do have some basis in real creatures.And remember many creatures once thought to be legends have since been found be extinct but they did once exist. For that reason I feel that Cryptozoology can be seen as a true science because it does have a certain level of truth and fact to it.

Great Topic Cleo. I was thinking of starting something similar, but you beat me to it. Smile.
I think the conspiracy theorists and cryptozoologists who are out on the hunt for things such as vampires, the yeti and bunyips.etc. are a bit nutty - but not entirely. There are some plausible theories and evidence regarding some mythical/claimed-to-be-real creatures. The bunyip/yowie was all but disproved when the strange noises turned out to be bitterns (birds), but we must never exclude the possibility of their existence.
There is one area in which I strongly support the continuation of effort and research/investigation, and that is the elusive 'big cats' that are believed to stalk places where they are not found at all. Some examples include the Beast of Bodmin Moor (England), the Beast of Exmoor (England), Grampians panther (Australia) and Blue Mountains panther (Australia).
I believe in the existence of some of these cats, especially the Australian ones, due to supportive video evidence, but also verbal and hearsay.
There is even talk of a Kellyville big cat (about the size of a clouded leopard...) believed to roam the Kellyville area, which is a 20minute drive from where I live!
I would be very interested in further looking into these cat's existence, as they have become great legends, and ones that I reckon cryptozoologists can solve.

Beast of Bodmin:

I encourage all to read about this, it's fascinating, but haunting too!
So, Cryptozoology should definitely go ahead with some pursuits/investigations, but ditch unreal ones.

Thanks Knights! I was a bit worried people might think I was a bit nuts.
 
Here are the justifications from Wiki for why Crypto should been seen as a legit science;

There are several animals cited as examples for continuing cryptozoological efforts:

  • The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coelacanth - Coelacanth , a " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_fossil - living fossil " — a representative of an order of fish believed to have been extinct for 65 million years — was identified from a specimen found in a fishing net in 1938 off the coast of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa - South Africa . (The coelacanth was well known to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comoros - Comoros fishermen as the Gombessa, but unknown to scientists.)
  • Similarly cited is the 1976 discovery of the previously unknown http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megamouth_shark - megamouth shark , discovered off http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oahu - Oahu , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii - Hawaii , when it became entangled in a ship's anchor. Some have cautioned against applying the "megamouth analogy" too broadly to hypothetical creatures, noting that while "the megamouth does show that the oceans have a lot of secrets left to reveal ... the Megamouth is a deepwater fish, easily hidden in the world's oceans, and not comparable with other creatures reported, such as surviving marine reptiles. While the Megamouth is not a useful analogy to support the existence of marine "cryptids" in general, it does demonstrate the resistance of science to identify new large species of marine animals without a corpse. Sightings of Megamouths now number approximately one a year. Before the discovery, one could argue this consistent sighting record was also present, but that the sightings were ignored or discredited as of some other animal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptozoology#_note-1 - [2]
  • Also cited is the 2003 discovery of the remains of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_floresiensis - Homo floresiensis , a descendent of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_erectus - Homo erectus which took the anthropological community completely by surprise. Legends of a strikingly similar creature, called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebu_Gogo - Ebu Gogo by the local people of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flores - Flores , persisted until as late as the nineteenth century, but it took until 2003 before the possible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil - fossil remains of this species were found. In addition, human http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklore - folklore is full of references to small forest people, called dwarves, elves, fairies, gnomes, leprechauns, or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menehune - menehune .
  • In 1930, a Danish research ship, the Dana, collected a 6-ft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eel - eel -like larva. Typically, a 3-in (7.6-cm) eel larva (called a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptocephalus - leptocephalus ) grows into a 6-ft (1.82-m) eel, and therefore scaling up, a 6-ft larva may result in a 100-ft (30-m) adult. However, some 40 years after the Dana specimen was netted, it was reclassified as the larva of an eel-like deep-sea fish belonging to a group called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notacanthiformes - Notacanthiformes . Known Notacanthiformes don't change much in size during the metamorphosis from larva to adult. The ratio in this still-unidentified species is not certain.
  • Cryptozoology supporters have noted that many unfamiliar animals, when first reported, were considered http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoax - hoaxes , delusions, or misidentifications. The http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus - platypus , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_squid - giant squid , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_gorilla - mountain gorilla , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly-polar_bear_hybrid - grizzly-polar bear hybrid , and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon - Komodo dragon are a few such creatures. Supporters claim that unyielding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeptic - skepticism may in fact inhibit discovery of unknown animals, and skeptics claim that skepticism prevents an unwarranted potential epidemic of misidentified animal sightings being successfully attributed to cryptids.
  • The emblem of the now-defunct http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Society_for_Cryptozoology - International Society of Cryptozoology is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi - okapi , a forest-dwelling relative of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe - giraffe that was unknown to Western scientists prior to 1901. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Cuvier - Georges Cuvier 's so-called " http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rash_Dictum&action=edit - Rash Dictum " (a phrase coined by Heuvelmans) is sometimes cited as a reason that researchers should avoid unfounded, "rash" conclusions: in 1821, Cuvier remarked that it was unlikely for any large, unknown animal to be discovered, not because they aren't conspicuous, but because there aren't that many. Fewer than fifty such discoveries have been made since Cuvier's statement.
  • The notion that some http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptids - cryptids are too strange to be real has been countered by the fact that people describe based on what they know. For instance, early explorers in Australia described http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangaroo - kangaroos as creatures that had heads like deer (without antlers), stood upright like men, leaped like frogs, and sometimes had two heads, one on top and another on the stomach.[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources -

I noticed one very beautiful and mysterious cat, the Blue, or Maltese tiger. I think its existence is one of the most plausible of those on the list, as it has been proven to exist, but not in the present (as of yet, I hope).


NOTE: This image seems to merely be a photoshopped white tiger, an impression of how the Blue tiger might look like.

What is perhaps even more freaky is the parasitic life that can influence/control the brains of 'more advanced' creatures including us..

Are things like Toxoplasmoids or various cancers - actually/really the subtle/visible 3rd dimensional artefacts of entities from the 5th dimension, (or farther dimensions) of space, preying on us?
