I once saw a flying creature that appeared to be a
pterodactylpterosaur (except for the size), ever since since i’ve been on the lookout for any kind of “bird” with a diamond/kite shape at the end of it’s tail, as that is what i remember most distinctly.Could it have been a heron or a crane? When they fly their legs trail out behind them and their feet make them look a bit like a clubbed tail.
Basically every sea monster cryptid. There’s so much shit down there we don’t know about. Guarantee many many many of them are over exaggerated yes but there has been more than one case of a sea monster cryptid turning out to actually just be a real creature. Fucks me up
Iirc oar fish and giant squids were cryptids
You are correct about oarfish and technically giant squid. Though the giant squid was heavily exaggerated in its cryptid form
What about the colossal squid? Could they have been conflated?
Well the current collosal squids we see aren’t exactly boat crushers. They are big but not THAT big yk? Still definitely the inspiration for the legend but not as true to form as the oarfish was
I just noticed I used giant squid instead of collosal squid that’s on me
My mom claims that I’m the result of a tryst with a sasquatch.
I believe
The ocean ones. There’s unknown big critters down there, it’s basically a statistical certainty.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a believable one on land. People’s UFO and ghost stories can actually be hard to explain sometimes. All the cryptid stories are either very made-up sounding or some variant of “I looked and found nothing/got a super blurry photograph”.
