X-Creatures - Cryptozoology The world is full of uncataloged animals and creatures that defy our imaginations. There has been an ongoing effort to find these mystery animals/creatures. This is the study of Cryptozoology (the study of hidden animals) established by Bernard Heuvelmans. Cryptozoologists search for animals that are thought to be extinct but still reported to be seen today, new creatures that are rarely seen and continue to elude the eye of man. Some of the creatures are well known legends such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, but many other creatures are said to exist and are just as weird as the famous cases. Like any claims of unusual happenings, there is also a certain percentage of reports that are explained away as hoaxes. In fact, few are ever proven to be realistic animals and worthy of scientific classification. However, this is often NOT the fault of researchers. Some animals live outside the range of human exploration. Take for instance, "the Giant Squid". While there is substantial reasons to believe they exist, it is virtually impossible to find a live specimen because of the depths it resides in. It is a deep sea animal and so far, no deep sea equipment has been able to catch or film a live Giant Squid in its natural environment. |

| NESSIE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nessie or the Loch Ness Monster the most famous aquatic crypto creature .Nessie is described as being 20-35 feet ,grey-green in color with a long thin neck. Debate has been made about its origin.Some say that it is a type of so called extinct dinosaur while other say its is some species yet to be discovered. Supposed to live in the Loch Ness lake in Scotland. Loch Ness is believed to be the habitat for the most famous water creature in the world "Loch Ness Monster" and also known as "Nessie". Loch Ness lies in the highland region of Scotland and has been the central location for massive reports of this creature for centuries. "Nessie" is believed by scientists to be a plesiosaur that has somehow managed to survive since the extinction of dinosaurs. However, many photographs taken of this creature that were considered most credible, have been proven to be faked. The most famous example is the so called "Surgeon's Photo" taken by Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson in 1934. This photo showed a picture of a plesiosaur with a long neck and its head protruding out of the water. This photo was later revealed to be a toy submarine with the neck and head built onto it. The August 27, 1930 edition of the Northern Chronicle, published in Inverness at the Loch's north end, reported that a month earlier three local men, while fishing from a boat, saw, as one put it, "a commotion about 600 yards up the Loch. I saw a spray being thrown up into the air at a considerable height... It continued until it was about 300 yards away and then whatever was causing it turned southwards in a large half circle and moved away from us. It must have been traveling at 15 knots. My estimation of the length of the part of it we saw would be about 20 feet, and it was standing three feet or so out of the water. The wash it created caused our boat to rock violently." There has been other occasions when the creature was witnessed on land. Henry H. Bauer, a scientist and thoughtful commentator of the Loch Ness affair, gave the following testimony: "A considerable but unavoidable embarrassment to the most hard headed hunters is the existance of the small number of reports of Nessies having been seen on land. In Nessiedom, these events have a place that is not unlike that of the 'close encounters of the third kind' in Nufology. One is brought squarely up against the phenomemon of apparently responsible and plausible individuals who insist on the reality of experiences of the most extremely probable sort. http://www.nessie.co.uk/ |

| BIG FOOT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bigfoot , the most famous of crypto creatures in N.America .There have been many different names given to the bigfoot e.g....Sasquatch,Yeti,Abominal Snoman . It has been discoverd to be 6-11 feet tall ,bear+man+gorilla like muscular covered in hair. There have been many debates about it .Some say it is our missing link ...other that it is of extraterestrial existence.Many reports of a large hairy man-beast have been reported for ages. Early Native American Indians called this creature Sasquatch, Australians call it a Yowi, Chinese call it the Wildman, but most know this creature as Bigfoot. A name carried over from its incredibly large foot prints it leaves. Many casts of Bigfoot prints have been made with some of them over 16" long. The Bigfoot creature has also been captured on video several times with one of the most famous cases being the Patterson/Gimlin sighting on October 20, 1967. Roger Patterson shot footage of the encounter on cine film for several seconds. It shows a large hairy creature walking across a dry river bed at Bluff Creek in Northern California. The creature does move at a fairly fast rate for the amount of steps it takes that would Depicted image of the Patterson/Gimlin sighting insinuate a broad stride. After being studied with human doubles walking the same path, it was concluded that this beast was very large and walked with huge steps. This film has been analylized by experts and has been the target for much ridicule but has been supported by many professionals as well. |

| Chupacabra | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chupacabra ,one of the most talked about creatures in the last decade .It is described to be about 4 feet tall with a large roung head and a lipless mouth ,sharp fangs and huge red eyes.Sightings have been reported in Mexico. It is said to suck the blood of its victims like a vampire. It is sain to feed on livestock and is aslo known as the Goat Sucker. Here we have information so you can learn what El Chupacabra is, and where it comes from. If you have any questions or information to add please email us. El Chupacabra MenuHomeWhat is Chupacabra?Designer ShirtsPictures, Sounds, MoviesEl Chupacabra Sightings!NewsThe Best Links What is El Chupacabra? El Chupacabra - Means "the goat sucker" in Spanish. Named because of the way it sucked all the blood from Puerto Rican goats, the Chupacabra has been leaving fear in its tracks for many years now. First spotted in Puerto Rico in 1994, the Chupacabra has since migrated off the island and has recently been spotted in many locations including South America as well as the US. Although it was named because of its choice of goat-blood as a meal, the Chupacabra has reportedly attacked and devoured the blood of a wide variety of animals including dogs and sheep. As far as we know, there have yet to be any human fatalities. Due to the distinct technique the strange animal has of killing its prey, it is very easy to tell if the Chupacabra was involved in an animals death. Animals are found with puncture wounds in their neck and most of their blood removed. Often, the victim's organs have disappeared even though the only wound is a small hole in the animal's neck. Reports of laser-like cuts on the victim's ears are also common. Although some people say they have seen the Chupacabra's tracks, in many cases there are no signs of blood or tracks around the dead animals. Appearance It is hard to describe the appearance of El Chupacabra because sightings greatly differ. Most say it is either gray or green. Some say it has a large lizard-like tongue, others say it has wings. A bipedal creature (one that stands upright like a human), the Chupacabra has had many sightings where its height was reported to be anywhere from 3 and 6 feet tall. Some say it walks, some say it flies, and some say it has a kangaroo hop. See our labeled drawing of El Chupacabra by hitting this link. Where did it come from? Like the descriptions of El Chupacabras' appearance, people's ideas of its origin widely vary. Many say it's a new species, or a relative to the panther. More eccentric scholars say it is a dinosaur or an alien. Another theory is that there is a portal to another dimension that stretches from Puerto Rico across to South America. Our theory is that an alien spacecraft contained El Chupacabras' as pets or for study, and they somehow escaped during an accident, or a crash. http://www.elchupacabra.com/ |
