Sometimes the weirdest things wander into your backyard. In 2009, a Kentucky man named Kevin Mahoney set up a trail camera to get photos of rabbits. Instead, he got this photo of a bigfoot like animal squatting in his backyard.

Mark Chorvinsky of Strange Magazine published a VHS tape way back in 1998. Does anyone have a copy or may know where a copy is? He was based in Maryland (he had a magic shop where it seems he sold this VHS) so that may be a good place to start looking

North Korea is a land shrouded in mystery, but we have a surprising number of cryptid reports from the country. From a man eating blue tiger to a mysterious dinosaur-like animal that dwells in a volcanic lake, these are the forbidden cryptids of North Korea.

"What if Thomas Jefferson had been right?" — An American mastodon encounters a trapper in the 19th century

I’m sharing this captivating painting by art_of_tannerstreeter on Instagram, based on a fascinating alternate history scenario: the survival of Ice Age megafauna into the era of the American West's settlement.

Historically, Thomas Jefferson was a paleontology enthusiast who rejected the notion of total species extinction. Convinced that "mammoths" or other Ice Age animals still roamed the unexplored West, he had explicitly instructed the Lewis and Clark expedition to look for signs of them!

In the image, a trapper checking his beaver traps in the Rockies finds himself just a few meters away from a male mastodon in musth—a state of heightened aggression—as it pulverizes a dead tree. With no weapon within reach, all he can do is pray the colossus doesn't catch his scent...

A fantastic illustration that blends paleontological accuracy with American folklore!

Cryptids I think we can safely put in the retirement home

*Talking about the mainland Thylacine.

These are all cryptids that are fairly large, have been extensively searched for, and exist in an area where large animals should probably have been found by now
