It's been a long while since we've had one of those lively, at times heated, but allways friendly debates that made me grow fond of The Prancing Pony. In our party thread we'd allways be talking about current events, science, conspiracy theories and such, though lately we haven't been. So I thought I'd start one on cryptozoology in the style of Hugh's succesfull UFO thread.
To start off please answer the following:
A) Do you think there could be many bizarre fauna yet to be discovered?
B) What do you feel about the various tapes, photos, recordings, and alledged remains of these creatures (footprints, hair)? Don't forget eyewitness reports by those who conveniantly lacked a camera.
C) Are various indigenous people's folklore of different creatures (thunderbirds, lake beasts, sasquatch) usefull as evidence for cryptids descriptions?
D) Would you be open to the possibility some crptids are not undiscovered but relict species thought to be long gone (Nessies are pleisosaurs, Yetis asGigantopithecus)?
Feel free to post pics, vids and links to back your positions. Scepticism welcome.
