There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I've a feeling that many cryptic creature were likely based off fossil species. People will talk yeti after seeing a Gigantopithecus skeleton, cyclops when seeing an elephant skull, a dragon from plenty of skulls. Just look at the skeleton of an orca that was alleged to be a sea monther, who'd expect that streamline, sharp frame, and long skull was that of a relatively stubby face and body.
I haven't heard of alleged yeti/bigfoot hairs actually turning up an unknown primate. I'd like to see those data, I've been interested in such cryptics. Remember the Pleistocene polar bear conclusion recently?
