In addition to the most famous ones such as the cave cow or the sisimite, other cryptids are known in the Central American region from Guatemala to Panama.

This sub is full of knowledge about creatures I'd never read about, so I wanted to know if you guys knew any lesser known aquatic cryptids, "Nessie" like or not.

As for me, the most strange cryptids I've learnt of recently were:

"The Giant Shrimp of Bremerton" - this one has a weird story involved.

"The Dublin Lake Monsters" (Idk If this one would count as an urban legend, or even as an aquatic cryptid, but water is involved so meh)

"Iliamna Lake Monster" - The alaskan Nessie

"Morag of Loch Morar"

"Seelkee" - Probably just a deformed snake?

Do yall think this was real

I admittedly do not know a ton about cryptids. But I know a little about some and a bit about the Patterson Gimlin Film.

I am also mostly concerned with biology, evolution, and known data. So those with the deeper and or credible applications. I appreciate your thoughts.

I'm certain I'm not the first to bring it up and I think I've seen it mentioned briefly. Patty has breasts this is known. The fur. It is common, not common, not ever recorded etc, to have the density/placement in hominids that Patty exhibits? Any factors really

It with a few other things were the only criteria that have raised questions for me Thanks.

Jason Brazeal Shows You Everything Wrong With The Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot Hoax Film

Hey everyone,

What cryptid do you think might actually be real? Mothman, Chupacabra, or something else?

Share your theories!

Hey everyone,

What cryptid do you think is 100% a hoax? Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, or something else entirely?

Let me know your thoughts!

Hey everyone,

What’s your favorite cryptid—whether you think it’s completely fictional or secretly lurking out there? I’m really curious to discover new ones and hear your thoughts about them!

Are there any cryptids you’re convinced are 100% real or 100% a hoax?

Let me know what you think!

Here is an introduction to the world of Pop Cryptids, showing how cryptozoology, which was intended as a scientific discipline, has now lost that status and is instead a popular culture scene about any weird sentient thing of dubious existence. The scope of the definition of “cryptid” expanded very widely and people are using cryptid representations in all new social ways.

This footage caused a large amount of spirited discussion when posted to r/whales 2 days ago. I made a post regarding its authenticity, which I hope I have adequately determined. In short: This is footage of an unusual Humpback Whale filmed off of the island of Rurutu in French Polynesia sometime between 1998 and 1999. The profile of the whale, especially the high, sickle-shaped dorsal fin and unusual coloration and fin length, has led some to suggest this is a hybrid between a male of some other Rorqual, such as Blue or Bryde's whale, and the mother humpback seen in the footage.

What are some cryptid images that you dislike or find creepy? For me it’s that image of the skunk ape behind the brush and the image of the ningen floating underwater.

I've heard it many time, I live on the edge of miles and miles of uninhabited mountains and forests. At night I frequently hear a noise, sometimes in motion (changing distance from me), which lasts about 2 seconds and sounds very electrical. Like a weird synthesised electronic mess that kind of reminds of of noises some dial up Internet would create back in the day. Last night I was sure something was there after I heard it. It doesn't sound natural, it sounds artificial but there is nothing but forests and nobody about. I never hear movement noises either.

My theory, a bird (possibly a bird that is mimicking electrical noises it can pick up that we don't).

Hey all, I've been wondering today where the delineation lies between a cryptid and a mythological being? Just as a random example, a duende. I'm wondering if enough people see one, does it become a cryptid rather than a mythical or folkloric creature? I'd love to hear your ideas. First post here please be gentle. I'm genuinely curious to hear your views, especially any areas where you think the two categories cross over or intersect. TIA.
