The Slide-Rock Bolter is the best cryptid on account of how unbelievably stupid it is. Its basically just a giant mouth that hangs out on top of mountains and waits for someone to walk by, then it slides down the maintain and eats them, destroying everything in its path. It uses its momentum(???) to reach the top of the next hill where it repeats the process.

I believe in the Mongolian death worm. They said it was 2 feet long which is completely reasonable for a worm and i can believe a burrowing worm stays hidden in the gobi desert. The part i don't believe is the effectiveness of the acid it supposedly spits but that could easily be the guys who saw it making shit up to make a pretty mundane animal seem more dangerous than it is

Really fond of the Partridge Creek Monster.
I'm already a big fan of dinosaur cryptids, but the comparatively "modern" description of the creature gives the story an auspicious authenticity to it. The Partridge Creek Monster is described as having bristly boar-like fur covering it's body, being an active and energetic predator even in the cold, and having a more bird-like posture despite the time periods insistence on dinosaurs having lizard-like qualities and posture.

Most of what people think are cryptids outside of Bigfoot and it's variations are usually things like Mothman, Indrid Cold, Jersey Devil and the Fresno Nightcrawler
The term is muddied now because people kept conflating the definition of Cryptids with "Spooky Magical Monsters that people claimed they saw" but I've seen people who genuinely care about the topic try to combat and correct the people who get Skinwalkers and Wendigo's mixed up and think Not Deer are a real thing

I think Bigfoot is an interdimensional teleporter, which is why I don't believe the stuff about juvenile bigfoots and bigfoot families kidnapping people.

Bigfoot is an interdimensional teleporting humanoid capable of speech, fluent in and habitual speaker of English, who abducts fit and intelligent German-speaking men of college age through portals, and also often harasses campers at night by throwing rocks and doing an impression of an angry Chinese man.
I want to try to assume that one of these things is a hobby and the other is a job or some sort of purpose, but does that mean the Chinese harassment is the purpose, and the operation paperclip thing is the hobby? Or the other way around.

Amazing idea for a movie with James Franco and Seth Rogen.
James shows up to Seth, his old college roommate's place after years, telling him he sent him an email about getting back in touch and joining him for a hiking trip. Seth tries to make him leave but is exhausted by his life of adult problems and decides to take him up on it. James seems crazy, but is actually a fairly experienced outdoorsman, and they plan an ambitious trip. They end up getting nabbed by bigfoot and find out that if you get abducted by him, you get to/have to BE BIGFOOT. James finds this amazing they teleport around, moving unseen through the world, they fart in the president's face and go to Area 51. Seth is convinced that he should have been living free like James, and vows never to go back, but eventually realizes that James doesn't have all the things that he himself has been taking for granted. In the end, he parts ways with James and goes back to his girlfriend, telling her he was abducted by bigfoot. Later on, Seth is hiking for his bachelor party with his boring friends, and gets abducted by JAMES! They run riot one more time. In the final scene, Seth is in the great outdoors with his son, telling him about the enigmatic Sasquatch when a rock lands at their feet.
>>
>>5079832
The main goof with the bigfoots is that when they're not invisible, the abducted people look like bigfoot from the perspective of anyone else. There's a scene where James gets it on with an abducted hot chick hiker, and an old man sees two bigfoots doin it crazy style across some rapids.
They find out that different people were recording them during different scenes, and when Seth goes home, he finds out. There's a scene where Seth is watching it on the news with his girlfriend, who thinks he was abducted and is taking it very seriously, and Seth has to try not to laugh as they show the bigfoot footage, which is him and James doing wacky stuff not knowing they're being recorded.

These are two big examples of cryptids clearly escaping notice, and managing to breed. The big problem with science and scientists (despite being otherwise very useful) is they carry big assumptions that they use to dismiss inference and direct evidence when inconvenient. The same people who will make claims like
>South American monkeys arrived from Africa on flotsam!
>it only takes a few reptiles or birds lost at sea to populate islands like Hawaii or Galapagos, and then become whole new species!
will also tell you
>No it's impossible for large mammals to exist without us noticing them, how could they possibly breed?
>Obviously these big cats are just people releasing captive animals over and over again
>WHERE ARE THE BODIES?!
Science is unfortunately more religion than philosophy concerned with truth. One day a population of big cats will be confirmed in the UK, and it'll be treated as normal and only "crazy people" didn't believe them. Not scientists, no.

He probably lied for some reason. This photo >>5085671 is actually a crop of a very small piece of the original. The original has the thing in question waaaay out there in Loch Ness, with the far shore visible.
The guy claimed he made it out of a little toy submarine and set it down in the water and photographed it, but at that distance it appears to be in the original it'd have to be like 10 feet high at least. The story doesn't make sense with the apparent size of the thing.

The photo is called the surgeons photo as it was taken by a doctor Robert Kenneth Wilson

60 years later a guy comes forward and says it was a hoax and he was part of the hoax. Christopher Spurling claimed to be involved in the hoax, he says his stepdad Maramaduke Wetherell came up with the hoax.

In 1933 Maramaduke Wetherell had been hired by the Daily Mail to find the loch ness monster as he was a famous big game hunter. He had 'found' large footprints going in and out of the loch. The natural history museum in london concluded the footprints were fake and made with a taxidermied hippos foot, one of which Wetherell was known to own. This ruined Wetherell's reputation and he withdrew from public life.

Spurling claims Wetherell then wanted revenge on the daily mail. Spurling claims Wetherell had him carve the model to be put on the toy submarine. He then claims Wetherell had Wilson take the photo as him being a doctor would make him beyond suspicion.

Spurling offered no proof to back his claims

As >>5085892 said he may have lied for some reason, maybe he wanted his 5 mins of fame. Several people have come forward saying they wore the patty suit in the patterson-gimlin footage but none have offered proof.

Basically cryptozoology and new age shit have existed side by side for a century, but cryptozoologists tended to be scientifically rigorous and took their hobby quite seriously. But they banked really hard on the internet and eventually smartphones with HD cameras in everyones pockets being able to prove the existence of shit like bigfoot or lake monsters and nobody has come up with any more convincing evidence than photographs or audio recordings from the 90s and earlier. IDK if you remember but the cryptozoology community online was definitely not that schizo in the 90s and early 00s. What ended up happening though was that the lack of evidence allowed a lot of true believers to slowly switch allegiance from old school cryptozoologists like Loren Coleman or the BFRO to new age types whose explanations about bigfoot being an interdimensional extraterrestrial spiritual being actually squared with the dearth of evidence after the proliferation of cheap portable cameras and audio recording equipment.

Bigfoot has always been a literal meme
It dates to the 1950s. Gorillas and apes were a big thing in media like comic books and bigfoot was an extension of that. People were just making shit up competing for the front page of newspapers.
Go read the actual full Ape Canyon story, it talks about spirit guides talking to them and bullets going right through bigfoot everytime they tried to shoot them. Or the Ostman story where he goes into detail about bigfoot tits and cock and then escapes by getting daddy bigfoot high on tobacco.

Seriously can't believe anybody ever took this shit seriously.

You are deliberately misinterpreting folk tales and boogeyman stories for kids as reality. By that logic ogres and gnomes and fairies are real because we have stories of them going back hundreds of years too.
What is the easiest way to depict a human as wild and primitive? Make him hairy. Wow look at pic related it means bigfoot is in Europe too.

And next you will mention native stories. Oral history isn't reliable and cannot be dated unless it's a specific event like colonization or volcanic eruption.
Keep in mind that all the native "elders" nowadays would have been little kids at the height of bigfoot popularity. You are witnessing citogenesis in action.

NTA, but bigfoot stories by settlers do go back to Colonial times.

You might as well say Enkidu was supposed to be Bigfoot

The biggest problem with Bigfoot is that we have zero evidence of hominids in North America prior to the arrival of humans. If Bigfoot was real, we would've found subfossil remains of it or at least something similar by now with how extensive the Pleistocene record is for North America. We've found the bones of multiple giant sloths, giant armadillos, giant beavers, giant bears, camels, horses, dire wolves, lions, jaguars, saber-toothed cats, mammoths and mastodons but somehow this one ape has completely vanished from the fossil record. Some of the aforementioned species survived into the early Holocene and died out less than ten thousand years ago. We don't even any good candidates in the fossil record for primates that could be ancestral to Bigfoot. Gigantopithecus died out around 300,000 years ago and was unlikely to be a biped, not to mention how it never ventured far above the tropics. Paranthropus matches the general description but it was exclusive to Africa and was much smaller than how Bigfoot was described, also dying out during the Early Pleistocene. And as >>5088859 mentioned, there's no Native American oral accounts that match the description of Bigfoot beyond the general "wild man" archetype. The caveat is that there's always going to be gaps in the fossil record and oral accounts (the giant panda, for example, was rarely mentioned in Chinese culture prior to its official discovery since it lived in remote mountains and rarely crossed paths with humans) but a large bipedal ape species that would need a population in the hundreds or thousands to stay stable would've left much more evidence behind, especially since it would've been living in North America for at least tens of thousands of years.

If you're talking about "wildmen" then thats the same thing. A guy escapes prison or an asylum and the media exaggerates him into a giant hairy monster. Humans have always been lying and making shit up, it's nothing new. Except now a hundred years later you get people legitimately believing it.

Because the fossil record is known for being 100% complete. That's why new prehistoric animals haven't been discovered since the 1900's

Honestly i think not at least considering the possibility of bigfoot being an extinct species of ape is kind of stupid. Him being alive today is even more retarded tho

People who go full New Age need to accept that Bigfoot is either an extinct species or they migrated further away from humans up north of Canada and are still near extinct
Animals tend to migrate when Humans start encroaching on their land, if you take Native American oral traditions as proof that Bigfoot is real and you mix that with colonies moving further west over time then naturally as a species the Sasquatch would start moving away from the encroaching humans for survival purposes. If you were to believe modern sightings from the 90's and onward then these are just very small pockets of Sasquatch that could have returned to their natural habitat or were one's who never left but their numbers were considerably dipping over the years. The reason why more don't migrate back is because they're numbers are already small and where ever they are now probably suits them just fine
My idea for where the Sasquatch migrated too would be in the Wilderness of Canada and maybe the deserts and canyons of the US. I'd say they're nocturnal creatures and only come out during the night time and can travel great distances when looking for food. They don't live in the Appalachians, that's just a hunting spot for them which is why you have photos and video's of a Sasquatch in the area, they're probably hunting and trying to keep themselves hidden. Humans are not on the menu so Sasquatches try to avoid them while hunting

This is all guess work based off what I'm aware of regarding real animals. I really don't like the whole spiritual alien angle because it gives Skeptics too much elbow room. There needs to be a healthy back and forth and we can't have that when the Spiritual Alien guy starts bringing up Dogmen

>need to accept
While I'm onboard with the idea that supernatural things are just not real, I'm afraid what you wrote is basically a tautology that's not gonna convince anyone.
>If you posit that Sasquatch is an animal, you can explain things like this, therefore Sasquatch is an animal
It doesn't preclude the existence of alternate explanations.
>>
>>5090278
No, it's just me making a theory on where a Sasquatch would be based off eyewitness reports and how animals usually behave when humans start to become too much of an issue for them
>>
>>5090198
I agree for the most part, but there is some odd shit going on when it comes to the UFO side of things. It's an /x/ topic, but the long and short of it is Humanity is probably being fucked with (in a lab rat sense) and both aliens and bigfoot could be one of the ways Humans are being fucked with.
What I'm saying is that Bigfoot might not be real and "aliens" could still be involved anyway.
>>
>>5090391
And what I mean by this is UFO activity has a correlation with all other paranormal activity. Ghosts, bigfoot, phantom cats, and so on. The skeptical argument is that crazy people see crazy things, but the alternative argument is that there is some other kind of connection (which could be, for example, a psychosocial connection; which is neither "it's real" nor "it's all made up").
>>
>>5090198
I 100% believe it is an extinct species. I would say they probably went extinct around the 70's-90's. There could be some left but i would guess it would be like, 8 or something. I wouldn't bet on it

>>5090418
If they're real and still have a sizeable population they're in and around the Midwest, California mountains and the Canadian wilderness
Those to me seem like good spots for a small pocket or 2 of Sasquatches to live in.
I think Sasquatch is seen more often than reported because some people do not have enough knowledge on the Cryptid and view it as some sort of spooky scary boogeyman, so they're afraid and do not want to further acknowledge the encounter or it's existence and will move on instead.
I know some people theorize that the Government keeps the existence of Sasquatch a secret but I don't think I subscribe to that theory too much. There's never a reason for it that I can settle on besides the paper work that would have to go into acknowledging their existence and the millions of dollars it would need to keeping their habitat safe. There have been sightings of Big Cats in areas around the States where they were initially not thought to still be in and the Authorities tend to ignore them/lie about it and say they're not there. If Believers would lead more into that than the more out-there theories I think they'd have a better case

Lusca for one that could be found without intervention due to somebody being able to take a drone pilot camera underwater in the bahamas being simple besides goverment being pissy due to >tourism
It’s literally just big octopus with regular octopus abilities, and we had materials of them once, and the reason why they are like this is due to them being wizards (eternal virgins) so they are the ones I feel would be a nice first step+their discovery would piss off bahamas tourism officials
>>
>>5088857
If any time for bigfoot to get official conformation, I feel it would be around another epstein dump as a distraction, thats been my hopes anyways because I just want them to stop dropping nothingburgers or ayys instead of the monke
