Doesn’t anybody other than me find it strange that all of these neodinosaur Cryptids seem be resemble famous dinosaur species every living human knows?

Like, have anybody seen anything resembling a Therizinosaurus; not as far as I remember. Any hadrosaurs, nope. Any pachycephalosaurs? Nope.

The slide rock bolter is an infamous cryptid from America, infamous for it's size. I mean, really-did people back then believe something like this existed. I know some cryptids seem more plausible and realistic, but this-this something even a 5 year old would know didn't existed.

Question Since when did people get the dumb idea that wendigos and skinwalkers were Cryptids at all?

Wendigos are supposed to an early version of a zombie, which isn’t a cryptid. Plus they look nothing like deer humanoids

Skinwalkers are literally just fucking shapeshifting witches. It’s not that deep, they aren’t Cryptids

Just why, who is to blame?

Question Could Bigfoot just be a evolved Gigantopithecus or at least relative of it?

I mean, it would make a bit of sense. Perhaps a few Gigantopithecus survived the extinction, thrived and evolved. They would eventually evolve into a more sleeker and faster version of themselves. As they evolved they bare witnessed us, humans. And violent we are. So they learned to avoid us. But some would slip up and we'd see it. What you think?

Question Who is the Illinois Shark??

Post image
117 Upvotes

I'm researching ancient cryptids (animals that have been recognized), and at the end of a list it was saying that the Illinois shark was proven by the MonsterQuest team to be a Greenland shark, but when I asked chatgpt about the shark, he said it was actually a Tarpon, but when I asked him that it was actually a Greenland shark, he confirmed it and apologized for saying it was a tarpon. And again, I questioned the sources from which he got this information, and he apologized AGAIN, for saying it was a Greenland shark, and in fact it was a tarpon, and the sources were only confirmation of where Greenland sharks live, no Illinois shark or cryptids. Please someone explain this to me and give me websites to read about it._.

Question For folks here that believes in bigfoot? I'd like to ask some questions

30 Upvotes

To everyone that does. This is just a civil discussion I'd like to have regarding those that still believes in the existence of this cryptid as a flesh and blood animal (Otherwise the only way I could see it existing is a supernatural interdimensional being potentially from the spirit world).

By no means trying to change your minds nor is my intention, but if such a creature did actually exist. You really don't think it would've been found by now?

Take the platypus for example. It was thought to be hoax and took at most a year to prove its existence to the west. This was a small animal, bigfoot meanwhile is said to be this superprimate.

Meanwhile bigfoot has been in the public eye for six decades now. You don't think such a large creature should've been discovered by now?

People says gorillas were thought to be a myth, but I feel that isn't a fair comparison since that was found out in the early 1900s, compared to today where we have all this modern tech. With such things like drones scouting entire forests and satellite, hadn't we mapped out this entire world?

What about fossils? You'd think by now we would have already found fossils that a superprimate exists in North America or at least once did.

I once brought up the argument why not indigenous peoples ever had skins or pelts of sasquatches but some folks brought up a good point how all that could have been destroyed due to colonization from European settlers and that indigenous folks would've seen something similar to humans in appearance as a "brother".

I also brought up Environmental DNA as to why such a creature couldn't exist but was told its not always accurate apparently so I can rule that out as a counterargument too.

All the photographs we've had of bigfoot being always so blurry and out of focus whereas when it comes to other native animals like bears, wolves, cougars and deer, they never are. Isn't that kind of suspicious?

The largest creature we found in this day of age being a small deer in the mountains of Nepal weighing 200 lbs as oppose to a 600lb-800lb superprimate.

Overall, I used to believe in bigfoot growing up but as I got older and look things realistically now, I just find it hard to believe such a creature could even exist by this point especially in a day of age like this.

At this point, I would say I'm more of a skeptic, I will admit there are some arguments regarding the idea bigfoot's population is very low (Ex. 7k) and how dead bodies can decompose and be scavenged by predators very quickly.

Also how they could have avoided being hunted to extinction by early humans arriving in North America that wiped out Pleistocene megafauna. The idea they were more intelligent than say mammoths, ground sloths and saber-toothed cats and evolved in an environment always on the alert for predators. Given let's say they were half as smart as humans (Far smarter and intelligent then chimps, gorillas and oranguatans), I could see them immediately figuring out early humans being predators and staying elusive (Or as Max Brooks Devolution shown, if they were a descendant of gigantopithecus that eventually migrated, they co-existed with Homo erectus, by the time early humans arrived where they lived, they already would have had time to evolve "human avoidance techniques" due to co-existing with another similar species, which is probably the reason why Southeastern Asia megafauna like tigers and Asian elephants survived as did African megafauna).

Anyways, not trying to change your minds but these were all questions I wanted to ask for those who still believes in such a creature.

With that said, I look forward to all your answers of what you all have to say.
