Ah, perhaps you missed our comment regarding the Thylacine down below, so I'll repeat for clarity.

"Experts believe the (Tasmanian) tiger remained on the mainland until about 2000 years ago"

~~From Cosmos -a highly regarded scientific website.

Many people cannot decide when the tiger became extinct. However, many experts claim it was 2000 years ago that they all but disappeared off the Island, though they were spotted up until 1933.

:o great video! My only nitpick is that the picture of the skunk ape you showed twice,the very clear facial shot it the creature, has been proven to be a fake.

Just sayin. Other than that, I loved it!

[planetflipside]

Yeah...we aren't too sure about the skunk ape, ourselves..=)

Great video, and I love the music. You've obviously put a lot of work into this. I've got two little bits of criticism, though. The giant squid is no longer a cryptid. The giant squid is no longer a cryptid. It's existence has been proven. Also, the thylacine went "extinct" about 70 years ago, not 2000. Other than that, this was a great video. Good job!

Thank you for your comment...=)

Regarding the Thylacine.

From many sources..this just being one:

"Experts believe the (Tasmanian) tiger remained on the mainland until about 2000 years ago"

~From Cosmos -a scientific website.

Something being classified as "extinct" doesn't mean they don't exist..=)

The Giant squid is not a cryptid, I concur..but the legend of the Kraken lives on.

has anyone here heard of mothman?

[deionc]

thanks for such interesting info with such relaxing music. it made me not be afraid.

The thylacine i still think exists the only reason it was said to be extinct was because humans hunted them to extinction because they would kill and eat cattle and sheep and other farm animals. Just shows how worthless the human race is. But i still think there are a few left out there...

@GaMeR1019 your totally right that is what a wendigo is. :-p

[Baronstone]

@planetflipside Correct, the good news is that eventually they will find enough genetic material to clone them

[GaMeR1019]

@planetflipside hey i heared the wendigo is an american spirit who eats flesh just sayin look up at lost tapes

[killthesound42]

finally a video without obnoxiously loud music very detailed and informative i give it 4 out of 5 the skunk ape photo just looks too staged for me

[leonscottkennedyre4]

i love this video so much,teaches you quite a bit about cryptozoology and the music is amazing

mothman is real you know that bridge he was hanging around at 5:18 he flew back and fourth past the bridge and after he was done a few minuets later the bridge collapsed

[starwarsfan651]

@HBX27 of course the mothman is quite real due to the fact that after the mothman was spotted and wrote about mysterious men-in-black were seen throughout the town and someone was going to publish the story and those men came to her office and told her not to publish it

I'm a Swampy-Cree and there's an old legend of a colorful bird here. I can't remember it's name, but what that bird does. It calls your name out from the woods and it would sound like someone that's really close to you, like a parent, brother, sister, or partner. Would go searching for the voice but that bird would lead you deeper and deeper into the woods until you can't find your way home.
