Found an old globe lamp, seems to be glass not plastic. I think it may be from the 70's but would like your opinions on it.

Everybody keeps talking about the Prize even though we know exactly what the prize is. Why is no-one talking about "Ramírez and the squirrels" ?

For €0.25, this film was way more entertaining than I thought it would be. Do you know of any more cryptid gems like these?

Colonel Percy Fawcett, revered within all the pseudosciences because of his exploits, although with little to show for it. – Was he an Adventurer, a Misguided Soul or a Pretender?

Are the 'Kanto Crocodiles' still considered cryptids or can we be sure that they are estuarine crocodillians riding the ocean currents that occasionally end up in Japan?

In 1989, 1993, and in 2001 there were supposed sightings of crocodilians in the Kanto region of Japan. Also this record from 1955 mentions older sightings, captures and a positive identification of estuarine crocodiles.

Estuarine or Saltwater Crocodile

Since we know that saltwater crocodiles ride the ocean currents and that the ocean currents around Japan (the kuroshio current specifically) originates from known saltwater crocodile territory run past the Kanto region:

Kurishio current

While the saltwater crocodile is presumed critically endangered and even locally extinct in much of it's original habitat in the Philippines, most sightings originate from well before that status (2008)

Dark Green = Present, Light Green = Possible Presence, Orange = Extinct

So what is the general consensus on the Kanto Crocodile in in r/Cryptozoology?

TLDR:
The 'Kanto Crocodile' might not longer be a cryptid but just adventurous Saltwater Crocodiles.
