The moral of the story is people really don't understand length.
Men you mean 😂
Tall tales stretch over time.
Mhm 🍆
I know 6 inches when i see it. Subway be lying with their 8 inch subs
@@00higgolol nothing wrong with a 6inch "sub"
The comment about not wanting to close down the town during the summer months is literally the plot to Jaws lol
Jaws is a documentary to those Meg believers
Yeah I was just thinking that😭
Megalodons likely had their pups in warm coastal waters, where they could avoid deeper waters with bigger predators than them. Their young were much bigger and their whole body shape is completely different from the known sharks that are constantly being spotted and filmed in shallow waters. No baby megs = no adult megs.
That’s a good point.
I always thought the lack of scars on whales was pretty evident they don’t exist.
@@joeybulford5266 Or just anything. If there is indeed something descended from the meg alive in our waters today, it would be pretty neat. Always love it when science finds new sharks. But it would have to be much, much smaller and have so many different adaptations. Deep sea fish are weird. What few sharks we know of from the deepest depths of our oceans are no exception.
Except at the bottom of the marinara sauce...🍝
I'v heard thousands of Bigfoot/dogman encounters but none of them had a working smartphone, car dashcam or CCTV around. 😅
Of course they didn't! Where is dogman gonna charge his phone? Are you gonna tell bigfoot he's gotta hand over his dashcam video to you? Yeah, good luck with that!
Think about it tho. If you see an animal that's unidentified and in terms of bigfoot, a giant man shaped beast, would you take a photo, or would you try and get away? Granted misidentifying is a huge factor, but if you think you see a Bigfoot, but you wait around and find out it's a grizzly walking on two legs, well you're dead. Grizzly bears are massive. So whether it's real or not, imagine being stupid enough to wait in the area to try and get pictures or vids. Nobody in their right mind wanna be around huge wild animals. I'm agnostic towards Bigfoot, I don't have any experience, so I can't say for sure, but I think it's an interesting topic
@@dimitrilitovsk2372 Deercams and dashcams never miss a shot. And man thousands of Bigfoot witnesses and NONE had a camera running ? It's impossible
Can't wait for the Mammoth video. It's sort of a perfect storm remote geography and an animal that's just not that far back chronologically, compared to, say, plesiosaurs or sauropods. Mix in the Jack London short story, some frozen mammoth corpses and the Wrangell island mammoths, and boom, off to the cryptid rodeo
Indeed true, also same with mekosuchus the land dwelling and arboreal crocodile which persisted on the South Pacific islands such as New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and another species related to mekosuchus on Fiji very recently, just like the wrangle island mammoths. Could very likely be a persisting species or relative of mekosuchus on remote South Pacific islands, and New Guinea as well. Wonder if there would be any possible persisting mammoths? Mastodons? Or even Notiomastodon ?
2:30 What a coincidence, was literally just reading about this for my next video. A theory at the time was that WW2 should've caused small thylacine population to bounce back since so many humans were busy dying at the time
Interesting. The Amur Tiger population actually recovered because of those reasons in WW2 as well. Could be a good parallel to use.
Seems that they are seen relatively often by Tribes in Papua New Guinea. I think even though there might be still Populations in Tasmania and Mainland Australia, New Guinea might be one of the best Places to find them
Rejoice, another video from the legend himself! Keep it up man, your channel has been among my favourite sources of wildlife content on UA-cam ever since I discovered you last November.
Thanks, will do!
Could you be any more sycophantic ?
@@sidstevens9035 I'm just giving the dude a compliment, do you think I have an ulterior motive or something?
@@serpenticular6990 No other motive you are obviously just a sycophant !
14:30 So David Weatherly in his book on Alaskan cryptids mentions that there's sabretooth tiger reports, but that these reports have basically no sources and are just friend of a friend type stories. Chad Arment also wrote to author John Warms heard stories from Native Alaskan elders. According to Warms they would occasionally mention "hunters with knives for teeth", presumably saber tooth tigers
Interesting. Thanks for the info pal
There are also (I think two) Sabertooth Cat Cryptids from Africa
damn player, i just realized you are at like 81k subs! congrats
I feel like a good video idea would be a list of creatures thought to simply be a cryptid, but eventually confirmed to be real. Idk how much material there is there, as I can only think of the colossal squid, but it could be a cool video.
Nice one!! Didn’t know you had a video this week! Awesome as always mate.
Also another thing about european bison: We helped them a lot with breeding. In fact they're still closely watched animals and there's population kept isolated for purpose of breeding, at least in poland. Not sure how it looks in belarus. In fact there were no wild bisons after the war if im not wrong(and we even mixed them a bit with american one for genetic diversity)
THANK YOU so much for covering the supposed 26ft anaconda... I figured you would cover it, as me and many other people had a hard time believing it.
Look up my coment above .
This was a really nice format to engage with viewers in a nice and respectful manner, and a sort of retrospective on old videos as well. I would be delighted to see this type of content in the future once you've collected enough interesting comments. Cheers.
Fantastic video, approaching cryptozoology with a healthy amount of skepticism and most importantly, accurate science. I love a good cryptid as much as the next guy, but I also look for the crypto enthusiasts who will level with you about the reality of these legends. And you demonstrated both. Great stuff as always pal.
Thanks man! Looking forward to seeing your next video. I hope you're doing okay.
what do you mean? Neil Waters has already found 2 thylacines 🤣
Very underrated UA-camr
I appreciate that!
Always good to see you post a new video 😂
Hope you enjoyed it!
I wonder if rural people are inclined to not say anything about sightings because they dont want to risk hosting researchers and media
I've been here since the beginning and I'm always happy seeing another WW video pop up!
Awesome! Thank you!
I need you to talk about komodo dragons and megalania lol
ur the leading voice on youtube for any and all anaconda videos, excited for the next one
As a man I can attest we add inches to everything we see…
I really appreciate videos like this... it makes the content more of an intellectual discourse than book report
There’s also reports of a land crocodile from South American Amazon rainforest from the country of Brazil and even Guyana from the Waiwai people.
Said to be a large land carnivore with big teeth, vibrant colors like a Jaguar, and makes booming calls. Could be a sebecid crocodile like barinasuchus.
Also suspect mekosuchus the dwarf land dwelling and arboreal crocodile likely still persists in New Guinea and other South Pacific remote islands. New species of monitors found in 2023 and giant arboreal rats have been described form the Solomon Islands in 2017, quite recently, and a survey could find a new species of dwarf land croc such as mekosuchus one day.
Also reports of the giant crocodile mahamba of the Congo is another intriguing Cryptid, as with the African aquatic saber tooth cats and semi aquatic rhinos.
Any plans on covering the alleged moose sightings in New Zealand? I think that would be quite an interesting topic to cover in an upcoming video.
One thing I'd like to know about sightings of thylacines is the number of them per year. I feel like cryptids with hundreds and thousands of sightings have a better chance of being real than ones that have like one or two.
Sure, but we already know the Thylacine existed.
Also, we can not discount our brains playing tricks. Since we all share similar brain structures, we may expect our brains to play tricks in similar ways.
However, I fully believe bigfoots real. The photo taken of the beast of seven chutes seals the deal for me. Many many casts, some of trackways hundreds of prints long, showing the correct foot flexibility. Dermal ridges on prints. Prints taken far apart showing the same size and dermal ridge pattern.
It is just hard to believe how one could hoax that.
Megalodon? Nah. Loch Ness monster? Nope.
@@juliusfucik4011 I can see why people make the misidentification argument, but at the same time I think its worth asking that, say unreliability rate is one in ten, what's the chances of 10,000+ sightings being misidentification vs only one sighting?
One or two is more likely to exist because if an animal is so rare that it hasn't been discovered yet, you wont be able to see it thousands of times a year.
Imagine what the same obsession with the Meg could do for other "extinct" species. Ones from a much more recent time in history relatively speaking. How many could be rediscovered with the passion of so many people behind it.
As far as giant snakes, the 'Congo giant' was estimated at 50 feet plus, but to me this could be a product of photographic trickery, as, I believe, is the 'Borneo giant'.
good video as always
the comment on the Meg conspiracy threory its just the plot from Jaws xD
also, that "contact zone" is off by a whole Brazil 😅
Mysterious cats sound very interesting!
I live in Tasmania & have always held hope that Thylacines still exist. Unfortunately while there are huge areas of wilderness here, the open habitat they preferred to hunt in, is pretty much all farmland now. Even the Tasmanian Devil which was a common sight just a few decades ago has all but disappeared. Sadly, I think there is little hope that they have adapted to survive in the huge areas of Barron alpine habitat and the dense temperate rain forests of the west coast. The areas that even humans haven't totally exploited yet! It would be wonderful if I was wrong!
Nice video.
A 30 foot Green Anaconda wouldn't be a cryptid - it would be a large specimen of a known species. A 10ft Blue Anaconda, however, would be. It's not the length, its if the species is known to science.
Well, that's not necessarily true.
Perhaps there needs to be a stricter definition, but "cryptid" also includes:
Known animals outside their known range, e.g. Big cats in the UK,
Known animals that are thought to be extinct, e.g. the Thylacine,
And known animals of exceptional size have also been considered to be cryptids, e.g. Giant Anacondas and Giant Saltwater Crocodiles.
(Like in the Cryptozoology books 'On the track of Unknown Animals' by Bernard Huevelmans and 'Adventures in Cryptozoology' by Richard Freeman.)
Like I said, maybe we need a better definition, but I am also kind of just poking fun at the idea that after a certain 'unverified' size something can be a cryptid and trying to push that "definition" as far as I can.
I'm still waiting for someone to do a thorough analysis of that 2016 Brazilian mine/construction site anaconda reported to be 32.8 feet.
Never seen a good breakdown of it, and I've looked.
I think I talked about that in my video 'How Big do Anacondas Get?" ua-cam.com/video/nm4Vn0SSq_I/v-deo.htmlsi=yQ4KAElsnckRhuDT
1) wowa, thanks for the response!
2) you're dead right you did 😂 thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I've always been shocked I've never been able to find someone to even try and address it scientifically so I'm super stoked you did, and quite well!
Just watched it and you finally let me close one of those mental "tabs" I've had open for years.
Cheers 😂😂
@@kelleren4840 awesome, I hope you enjoyed the video.
I loved this!!
Awesome, thank you
New Guinea is where you are most likely to find Thylacine. Super remote and it is mostly tribes without any outside contract living there
Indeed, same with the dwarf land dwelling and partially arboreal crocodile called mekosuchus.
I highly doubt a tiger enclosure with a fence that is tall enough for a wild cat not to be able to jump over.... exists in Alaska.
Oh hell yes!!! ❤️❤️
Phylacine????
Yeah I think they just had a typo in their comment.
every time they typed it.
Tis a curious tale these sightings of bizarre creatures
As a denizen of Tennesse we had our own bizarre tale a couole years back
Supposedly a Tiger had managed to escape a Zoo and was loose
Now that is a serious issue...if it was real
Despite extensive searches the Tiger was never discovered
And currently the best accepted answer is that it was a Mountain Lion covered on shadows that someone mistook for a Tiger
Goes to show sometimes sightings can be quite misunderstood
Who needs a megaladon when there could be great whites out there over 20 feet long?
I think it’s unlikely that big blue is the biggest of her species, rather she’s just the biggest we ever found.
Forest galante made a video that the the Tasmanian tiger may be alive in Papúa New Guinea, it is a super super remote place,
Galantaaaay is a fraud, don't be conned !
Also yes plz canadian cat cryptids
If there was a giant anaconda out there I know of at least a few reptile keepers on UA-cam who'd love to have one. But between zoos and private keepers, if an anaconda was able to grow to 30 feet or longer I'm sure that we'd have one in captivity by now. There are plenty of unethical reptile keepers out there who'd power feed one to get it to grow above average, its health be damned, for the publicity but as far as I know nobody's done it yet, at least successfully.
Longest snake was faced by Austin Stevens ...in Indonesia..
As a born and bred Tasmanian, people really don't understand how rugged, dense and inaccessible a lot of our small island is.
Without helicopter and days of hiking you would never reach some of these places, its physically impossible.
Ive never seen one though, everyone tom, dick and harry has a story about their "sighting" down here.
I would say its more likely it's alive than unlikely but not by a large margin.
Thylacine are still roaming Australia!
Will we ever see amur tiger attack list on youtube?
Marsupial lion seen one like it was yesterday
Also in regards to Megalodon, we know the young ones lived in shallow waters thanks to sites that preserve an abundance of small individuals and no adults, so if they were around today we would most definitely have encountered young individuals, especially given that humans would be far more suitable prey for juveniles. Yes, Megalodon could have evolved to loose this behaviour, but... theres no real reason for it do so, a plenty of reason to maintain said behaviour. So to those pushing the idea of Megalodon still be around, never mind where are the adults? Where are their kids?
In short a 50ft giant shark living at the bottom of the sea is plausible, however it being Megalodon specifically, I think that completely goes against what we know of its ecology and lifestyle, as well as its modern relatives. Sooooo
I had a random idea that what if the Bigfoot myth was based around people who were shunned from society due to the rare warewolf syndrome? So what if there's been a small amount of feral humans living away from society..?
Hi guys
I could believe a wealthy but irresponsible person keeping a tiger in Alaska, and then maybe release it once they realize how much it costs to keep a fully grown tiger fed. I'd have a harder time believing that a tiger like that could survive very long in Alaska. I mean, maybe it could happen, but competition with bears and difficulty hunting big game like elk or moose make it too hard.
The only argument with people who believe that megalodon is still alive had is “only 8% of the ocean were discovered “ 😂
Brian fry did not lead the study it was Jesus Rivas and his team. Brian fry was listed as a co author but had only a Small part in the study
You can find thylacines right now they have one in captivity they're studying it. I just went and checked after watching this video they have one they found it they're studying the thing I am so confused my guy. They're testing its blood and stuff it's a living animal. Theirs news reports on it. Video. They exist
What size crocodile should we consider a cryptid? 23 feet? 25 feet? 30 feet?
What size great white shark are we calling a cryptid? Do we consider the shark that killed Lewis Boren to be the top of the accepted scale at an estimated 23 feet (based on bite measurements)? Or is 23 feet our cryptid? 25 feet? 30 feet?
Unless it turns out the species of croc is novel to science, it would not be a cryptid at all.
Only if it’s a completely new species from the currently known.
There are quite a few cryptid crocodiles, two or more terrestrial ones, semi terrestrial, semi aquatic, and marine.
Say something like the reported mahamba which is said to grow to 30 feet though has been claimed to grow to 50 feet which seems quite unlikely at that size, 30 to 33 foot seems more reasonable, since crocodiles at 30 to 33 feet were around during the Pleistocene like euthecodon of Africa.
50 ft😊
Megs are not around anymore. We know where they had their young in the past. In is pretty much the same areas as great whites. So we should have found meg nurseries and we dont. So no they cant still be around. Its possible there is such a small population somewhere away from people but highly unlikely. So unfortunately i have to say they are likely gone fir good.
Am i the only one that gets annoyed by once real animals like megladon & tasmanian tiger being claimed by cryptid?
1st!
None of these are cryptids.
A cryptid is Sasquatch, the Mothman, chupacabra, etc.
These are extinct animals and oversized animals that still exist, that's all.
a cryptid is an animal unrecognised by science but is believed to exist, so animals like the thylacine are cryptids
Cryptid means 'Unknown' you are correct.
Thanks for the comment, but the term cryptid does include extinct animals that some believe are still alive.
The 'father' of Cryptozoology, Bernard Huevelmans, wrote what is considered the first book on
Cryptozoology 'On the Track of Unknown Animals' and the book has chapters on the Moa, Mammoths, Giant Ground Sloths and non-avian dinosaurs.
Ivan T Sanderson, sometimes thought to be the other 'father' of cryptozoology, also went in search of pterosaurs and non-avian dinosaurs.
They also both use the coelacanth ( a fish that was thought to have gone extinct millions of years ago but was discovered alive in 1938) as proof for cryptids. And trust me, a lot of people in the cryptid community continue to use it as proof for other cryptids. (Which is pretty annoying, lol)
More recent books like 'A to Z of Cryptozoology' by the cryptozoologist by Loren Coleman has chapters on Megaladon, the Moa and the Thylacine.
The book 'Adventures in Cryptozoology' by the cryptozoologist Richard Freeman has a chapter on the thylacine and "Adventures in Cryptozoology' volume two has a thylacine on the cover. He also states in the opening chapter
"Cryptids fall into several categories...the second category is that of creatures thought to be extinct, but that may still thrive".
The cryptozoologist Dr Karl Shuker published a book titled "Still in search of Prehistoric Survivors", which, as the title suggests, examines extinct animals that may still exist.
The organization 'The Centre for Fortean Zoology' which describes itself as 'a professional and scientific organisation dedicated to cryptozoology' has funded searches for thought to be extinct animals like the thylacine. In fact, the thylacine is their logo.
The international Cryptozoology Museum in Portland has exhibits on quote "living fossils".
The cryptid wiki has many different extinct animals on the list of cryptids, including Megalodon, Moa etc.
Also, there are theories that Nessie is a plesiosaur(an extinct animal) and bigfoot is a Gigantopithecus (an extinct animal). I don't really believe that, but they are popular theories. Even if you say, for example, Bigfoot is a descendant of Gigantopithecus and therefore an unknown species, you could say the same argument about Megalodon. And again, the Thylacine is almost a symbol for cryptozoology at this point.
I know critics think the term is too loose, and they may be right, but as it stands right now, the word is more of an umbrella term. The founders of cryptozoology, modern day cryptozoologists, cryptozoology organizations and museums and the general cryptid community overall all agree that extinct animals that could still be alive are cryptids.
Here is a pretty good video about what is and isn't a cryptid: ua-cam.com/video/6zm9GFGjSQA/v-deo.html
P.S Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to be thorough.
@@wildworld6264 Still not buying it. These are all regular animals that went extinct or have strange sizes. There's nothing cryptic about them so they are not cryptids.
See, logic wins every time. :P
delusional lol@@how2pick4name
❤oh daddy baby mama waa waa wee wa 👉👈
hey this isnt the club why act that way?
Cryptid means 'Unknown' !
Most of the animals you discuss are well known.
Your video is very interesting but technically incorrect because of your non understanding of this term.
