Cryptozoology

[Loki]

Are there any creatures that you think exist, that science don't recognize yet? :)

Go on, I'm bored :coffee:

It's possible that some form of Yeti/Bigfoot exist, since that myth exists in different parts of the globe.

In tropical Africa (Cameroon and the Congo) there's supposedly a creature called Mokele-mbembe.

So many expeditions have been sent to track it, but the area is very dense and remote - only pygmies live there sparsely.

The latest expedition was to be in 2012:

2012: The Newmac Expedition

In April of 2012 Stephen McCullah & Sam Newton launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund an expedition to the Congo region to search for Mokele-mbembe. Despite raising some $29000 the expedition suffered financial difficulties and is believed to have been abandoned shortly after the party reached the Congo in July of 2012.

I've been on Loch Ness ;)

Too many people drive past the lake every day, I'm fairly certain it doesn't exist. There are also daily tourist boat trips on search of it :)

It's also possible that some sort of Dragon existed in the middle ages, since both europeans and east asians had it in their folklore and the depictions were similar.

I've been to Loch Ness too, and I know EXACTLY why nobody can find Nessie. Nessie is dead. Nessie died of hypothermia, almost like me on the day I was there!

I bet my money on Yeti aswell. Although I do have a feeling that Vampires or other blood-sucking humanoid creatures exist (and no, I don't mean our politicians). :)

I'm serious!!!!

[Dead Eye]

I believe something like Bigfoot is possibly out there.

[tamilgangster]

Im pretty sure the Yeti was just some hairy indian guy, Since tibetans(like other mongoloids) lack body hair

[armenianbodyhair]

uh huh. yeah. trolls.

[Virtuous]

uh huh. yeah. trolls.

Who lives in the cold mountains of the Himalayas? Unlikely.

[armenianbodyhair]

we have lots of em.
Indeed we do, before I joined here I thought that IF they existed they were definitely from Norway, but they appear to originate from all over Europe, Asia, and Africa.

I liked that show that Bryan Sykes put out to be the end-all of the Zana question. He goes ahead and tests the DNA in his state of the art lab (touted by his show as the best in the world), provides us with two radically different possibilities, then does absolutely nothing to determine which one is right. The two possibilities being;
1) Yes the Almas is a real archaic human, just like theorized.
2) Zana was just some black lady.

On trace of Almas

Described as looking like humans, but with fur covering most of the body, the almas (or almasti) is a variety of wildman or Bigfoot that is reported from the Altai Mountains in Mongolia and the Tien Shan Mountains in China (near the border with Mongolia). Sometimes, researchers consider the almas to have a much wider range, and the term is applied to any Bigfoot-like creature reported from Mongolia or regions of the former Soviet Union. For example, the abnauayu of the Caucasus Mountains is sometimes considered identical to the almas. Also called the bnahua and the ochokochi, this ape-man is reported from the regions near Armenia, a long way from the border of China and Mongolia.

The body hair of almas is often described as curly, the jaws are large, and the eyebrow ridges are heavy. Visible areas of skin on the face, hands and feet are usually dark. The body hair is usually described as red or reddish-brown, sometimes as black. Most reports indicate an adult height of about five feet, but some describe a creature as tall as six and a half feet.

Available evidence seems to indicate that the almas near the border of Mongolia and China, if they exist, have been split into two populations which are rapidly dying out. Some researchers in the field of cryptozoology consider almas to be neanderthals. Almas are also called almasti in some reports.
