Giant sized critters are my favorite, but also the least plausible. Big things = big appetites, and no ecosystem can readily support that. If there is any undiscovered giant animal it's gonna be something sedentary with low caloric requirements like a 300 ton deep sea sponge. Still interesting but doesn't have the same wow factor.

Skunk Ape

>what do you think is most likely to exist?

Lusca: an octopus the size of a giant squid is the subject of legend off the coast of Cuba. According to the story, the creature lives in deep water holes under the ocean and only rises during hurricanes. I once spoke with an American submariner who had sailed through those waters, a place called the Tongue of the Ocean. He said that he would believe anything could be alive down there.

>which cryptid do you REALLY want to be real

Floresiensis

>most bizarre?

That's sort of an unfair question.

Take the Kumiho of Korean folklore, a fox which lives for a thousand years will grow nine-tails with a variety of magic powers which include transforming into humans. Is that a cryptid because it is an animal at some stage of its life cycle? The more bizarre the creature, the less likely we are to call it a cryptid. At some point, we would just call it a monster.

>favorite cryptid story?

There is a particular breed of werewolf from the lore of the Rhine Valley (according to Kenneth Hite). These werewolves transform during harvest time to protect the crops with iron whips from witches and other minions of the devil.

the coelocanth, because they found it

I love me some sea monsters, and some of those certainly do exist, like 1st pic related from hook island, australia

>really want to be real

Bigfoot, because it would be the most in-your-face "Aha! I told you so, you fucking 'scientist'!" due to its popularity and the level at which it is scoffed by Academia.

>most bizarre

perhaps the Mongolian Death Worm

forgot the last one…

>fav cryptid story

Well, besides the aforementioned Coelacanth because they found it, I find the tales of Megalania very cool, it's a giant monitor that lived in Australia and has been seen in present times by Aussies out in the deserted-as-fuck Aussie inlands (it's like 8m long, poisonous bite and can outrun a horse, a real land dragon).

However, I'd also like to add that there are too many tales from history, Native Americans, Middle-Easterners, and archaeological finds gone missing (or declared untouchable, like all of the mounds in the US) about Giants for them not to have been real.


 No.17629

>>17624

>giants

>real

Yeah but probably not the way you were hoping for. Remember historically people were shorter than the modern average, so individuals seen as "giant" in history would be rather unimpressive now. Take the biblical Goliath- while later writers paint him as a ten foot monster wearing more armor than a Bradley tank (literally, some very imaginative rabbis give weights of 60-120 tons for his armor) the dead sea scrolls and other early texts peg him at a much more reasonable 6' 9". Still quite intimidating to the 5 foot and under manlets of the time but now nothing to write home about.

It's quite possible that isolated tribes with good genetics could routinely make the 6 foot range, and everyone would see them as monsters. Or just like today, rare individuals would reach 7 or 8 feet. Impressive now, mind blowing then. But you have to remember, compared to most of history, we are the giants.

Yes, but you assume they're humans. The giants I spoke about in the mounds of the US are supposedly not humans. Humanoids,yes, but not of our type. The indians and original archaeologists that got a hold of finds spoke of two rows of teeth in their mouths, for example. That's clearly another critter there, so to make assumptions about bone density (for its ability to support weight) and so forth can't be done by our standards.

While this vid does go into Annunaki shit later on, the early shit on Bigfoot is really eye-opening.

I'll break it down:

>pre-human bones incredibly thick, built for tons of muscle like an ape

>even neanderthals are nothing like humans

>neanderthal fossils disappeared around the same time human fossils began appearing

>neanderthals never went extinct, they were just pushed from the plains (where lots of fossils can be made) into the forest (forest-dwelling creatures rarely ever make fossils) by our ancestors

>pre-humans weren't just thick-browed humans like the science jews tell you, they were more like upright apes

>sasquatch, the ama, yetis, they're all living neanderthals

>inb4 why haven't we found one?

It's incredibly fucking hard to find one because humans aren't made for woods-trekking. Pandas are very hard to find, and they're brightly-colored, slow, dumb and diurnal, so imagine how hard it would be to find a dark, quick, highly-intelligent and nocturnal creature.

Finally, some evidence stuff:

>there are certain tell-tale signs that show if a footprint is real or fake

>a foot has moving muscles and bones, a fake is just one solid object

>patterson film is real, you can see muscles rippling under the skin, and the sasquatch has tits (>inb4 gb2 deviantart)

I fucking love Bigfoot.

The creature captured in the Patterson film had a lot of things going for it. The musculature, the skeletal structure, the posturing and gait. Not saying it can't be fake, but if it is a hoax it's a damn good one with a hell of a lot of thought put into the details.

So really Neanderthals are not only alive but the dominant species outnumbering those dirty subneander home sapiens?

That's the interpretation I feel like going with.


 No.18019

>>18009

I have some studies but i don't want any trouble so think about me like another faggot in the internet telling lies. Its easier to track chickens to dinosaurs than humans to "ancient humans" and all that crap started because you have to choose, blacks are a different specie or all "sapiens" are the same and science already chose blacks neanderthal, florensis, denisovans, etc being differents species. Fun fact, even India has better records and views in human evolution than the west and all thanks to the need to ingratiate cultural marxism with real science.


 No.18051

>>18019

>>18019

Post more info if you feel comfortable, I've been thinking a lot that this may be the case. The idea that modern European descended humans are still homo sapiens with only trace lines of neanderthal dna is better for the "one race human race" narrative but from what I've seen there's at least as much evidence that it's the other way around, that "whites" are more accurately evolved neanderthals with some sapiens dna, with most "blacks" being pure or nearly pure sapiens and other racial lines being more even hybrids. Note that I do feel rather trepidatious breaching this subject since I know fucking stormfags are gonna jump on it as proof for their narrative that "niggurs r subhoomen" when really that's not what this is fucking about. It's not culture, it's science, but apparently no one can tell the difference anymore.

 No.18080

>>18051

The problem is clasification, classic says that negroids are a different specie, simple as that but you can't say that so western science is ruined by double standard.

You have two solutions:

A.-A new system with nigs, cavemans, etc like the same specie with different races.

B.- The same system and accept blacks as a different specie and asians and whites being different races of the same specie. We aren't prepared for this.

The problem is that the first system will change everything, all bio books will be obsolete and you will have to rearrange everything according to "muh feelings", the second will be worse.

>>18052

Well, i am not an indian so i don't know but we have to remember that "marxist science" was implying that "evolution" "stopped" like 10.000 years ago (they were probably aiming at Nevali Cori or domestic wheat, i am not sure, but is almost the same place and time), apus showed facts against that "out of my ass theory" and not only that, but they proved how evolution acelerated a lot since that time and how "racemixing" is ruining every "bio achievement".

Mkolo mbembe

Probably butchered the spelling but its supposedly a dinosaur like creature that lives in the depths of africa. Sounds impossible but tribal niggers who cant identify a giraffe recognize a brontosaurus when shown pics.

>most likely to exist

Bigfoot or giants. Theres enough evidence that anyone who pays attention will have questions.

>which do i want to be real

Mkolo mbembe. Id give every penny i have to ride a sauropod.

>most bizarre

Probably some of the jap ones. Example would be the one whose head is a water bowl and you have to convince it to bend over and spread its arsecheeks at you to spill the water.

>favourite cryptid story

I dont have a distinct favourite but i love the stories of encounters where their seems to be intelligence to the creature.

>>19062

Looks like an unknown creature, something akin to the montauk monster.
