I suggest that what has been interpreted as "wings" on the mothman might have actually been a different kind of structure. Given the red eyeshine it may in fact be a species of bear seen standing upright, and the "wings" may be interpreted as a particularly shaggy coat.
A few Mothman sightings were speculated to be barn owls reflecting red rear lights from cars, and owls have the mothman's flat man-like face, so I'd think it'd either descend from owls or converge on a similar niche.

I'd interpret mothman as just a large species of owl, most likely related to the land-dwelling desert owl, which has long legs and stands upright. Since owls have very reflective eyes, that might explain the glow. Mothman would've evolved to fly very little, most likely only to nest, explaining why the wings are comparatively quite small. It's niche would be similar to the secretary bird of burrowing owl, just preying on midsized mammals rather than small reptiles and mammals. I envision the Chupacabra as a bipedal rodent or lagomorph, like a kangaroo rat or guinea pig, that became hairless, except for the bristles used for intimidation or display. Isolated on Puerto Rico, they grew to great size, much like the extinct giant Cuban rat. Developing a taste for blood, which such animals are known to have, they became bipedal predators. I wouldn't class bigfoot as a hominid. Bigfoot is most likely herbivorous, so I'd have them, as well as the broader yeti family, be descended from paranthropus boiseii, which became more robust from its grasseating diet than flesheating hominids.

Actually, Arthropleura could perhaps breathe in todays atmosphere, since it survived into the permian which had lower oxygen levels than today. Also its a millipede and not centipede
@@I_Love_Learning it's classic Latter-day Saint folklore (though not actually doctrine of the church!!). It comes from a story of a church leader in the 1840s or 50s who comes across this big man covered in hair, who told him he was Cain, cursed to walk the earth forever. The closest source for the story is second hand And from several decades later, so suspect at best, but that hasn't stopped it from being told at countless campfires!
There is a giant prehistoric species of owl. Maybe the Mothman is just a really big owl. It also explains the red eyes, since some owls have eyes that reflect red light, which makes them appear as if they have glowing red eyes. The new scientific name could be Macrostrigid rubrops, meaning "Big Owl Red Face."
All the Mothman sightings that mention the red eyes specify that the eyes only look red by reflecting light, like bicycle reflectors, so eyeshine is the most plausible explanation.
this gives me an idea for the reverse of this video: Which 100% real (albeit probably extinct) animals would make the best cryptids? For example i'd imagine that if people saw actual quetzalcoatluses in remote areas from time to time, many would immediately conclude they saw an angel and perhaps go stark raving mad about it.
7:59 *just a small note: I believe that the earliest specimens of arthropleura are known from before the oxygen increase. What's more, at least one pre oxygen increase specimens is comparable in size to other large arthropleura. Paper: The largest arthropod in Earth history: insights from newly discovered Arthropleura remains (Serpukhovian Stainmore Formation, Northumberland, England)
Just thought I’d make a comment, but I’m pretty sure the moth man was basically proved to be an owl. The size was way off because the in first sighting it flew past a car. Everything else matches perfectly though.
Instead of putting them into existing genera, maybe try making them completely fictional (But Realistic) species. Mothman would probably be a Giant owl. There is actually a species of owl that has eyes that glow red if you shine artificial light on it, and since Mothman’s first sighting was a couple driving in a car at night, this makes sense. So if you take that trait from the one owl species and beef up the size (Giant Owls (Did) exist) and make its feathers black, you got yourself a fictional Mothman!
Very interested in the idea that the death worm is a myriapod. I have no idea how myriapod development actually works, but if it's anything like some other animals, you might be able to mutate the anterior/posterior split early on in development. Heck, since myriapods are so modular, it might be conceivable that a Hox mutation could give it a head on both sides. Anyway great video!! Love it
Oh, so a Puerto Rican woman can have a nightmare after watching a poor G. del Toro sequel and get immortalized in history, but when I do it, I'm "the guy shagging an amphibian-man" and "need to stop selling my poorly disguised fetish as a Shape of Water spin-off". These standards are so incredibly double!
If you look at the earliest drawing of moth man it’s obviously just a owl that was misidentified as larger and faster because of the panic of the witnesses
Considering that mothman was most likely a mis-sighting of a stygian owl, wouldn't it be reasonable to say it should be a giantic version of that, or at least some form of giant owl? That solves the beak issue because owls have flat faces, and if its specifically a stygian owl relative that also explains the red eyes
Would love to see a similar video, but on cryptids/mythological creatures we are pretty sure we have species identities for. The Greek "gold-digging ants" and the Japanese "kirin" come to mind. Especially as an exercise in how the mythological interpretation can vary so wildly from the established species. Heck even a bunch of Japanese yokai like Kitsune, Tanuki, and the ones based off of cats could fit this bill, as they are basically just those animals but interpretted to have mythical powers. Edit: and exactly in the same vein as how a mexican coyote-wolf hybrid with mange can be reinterpretted as a goat-blood-sucking lizard man
For the death worm I'm surprised you didn't cover it potentially being a larval stage for other bugs. But considering it's size that still wouldn't have been an option most likely.
I'd argue that we could just chalk anurognathid mothman's size up to just being a different species. A little excessive, possibly, but a vulture doesn't really line up that well.
The long neck, round head, sharp teeth, and presence of legs on an aquatic mammal, makes your description of bunyip seem similar to a giant river otter. Albeit a much larger one with tusks, grizzly like fur, different leg lengths, and more body fat. Alternatively the difference in leg length, tusks, and large body, also seems a bit like a Smilodon that parallel evolved to be like a grizzly bear. For reference, although Grizzlies are primarily land animals, they can swim and will hunt fish, also the aforementioned shaggy fur. Smilodons don't really have the right head shape, but not all depictions of bunyips have round heads.
I like to think the Chupacabra is some sort of predatory Marsupial distantly related to the extinct Thylocaleo Carnifex (aka, the Marsupial Lion) But that's just me
If it matters, iirc the show monster quest found unidentified hair/blood samples and had them tested. The result was something very similar to human dna but with one thing different. Id have to rewatch the episode to refresh my memory. Anyway I think that implies the species is either a subspecies of homo sapiens (so not homo sapiens sapiens) or very closely related.
Nice video; seemed very high-effort and you seem quite knowledgeable about cladistics and extinct lineages. Mentioning desmostylians was very based. Although for the deathworm maybe you could've considered velvet worms? aside from the legs they look *vaguely* similar and the extinct Omnidens might've reached similar sizes to the deathworm and had a vaguely similar mouthpiece. However it lived in the oceans during the Cambrian Period and isn't very well-known.
