Antarctic Godzilla is a cryptid seen once off of the coast of Antarctica. A Japanese ship had been in the area when they spotted the creature, which they described as having a monkey/cow-like head and a saw-like back. The captain named it after the Godzilla movies as he was a fan

The Sicilian wolf was a subspecies of the gray wolf that went extinct around 1924. As late as the 1970s there were sightings of the wolf which zoologist Francesco Maria Angelici said "seem convincing".

The Beast of Busco is a cryptid from Churubusco Lake in Indiana. First sighted in the 1940s, though there are rumors of reports dating back to 1898. It's described as a large snapping turtle, about 6 feet by 4 feet (1.8 by 1.2m) across and being covered in moss.

The only cryptid stories and theories I actively dislike are the Kandahar giant (obviously fake) and the bigfoot coverup theory. Everything else is cool

The sawtooth dolphin was a strange cetacean seen by fisherman Jeremy Wade in the Amazon Basin. It was described as having strangely evenly spaced spikes. Most locals didn't believe Wade's report, but one said it was called the holadeira. Some believe it was damaged by a boat

The Oklahoma Octopus is a freshwater cryptid said to attack swimmers. But reports of the creature only began to surface in the mid 2000's, suspiciously right around the time the show Lost Tapes aired their episode on it. So I investigated the origins of the cryptid, link below!

This article is the product of six years of intensive research into the origin of the Missing Thunderbird Photo. What might seem like an urban legend has a 60-year history, documented in the files of Ivan T. Sanderson, a founding father of Cryptozoology.

This video was captured in 2018 in Japan's Okuchichibu Mountains. At the start of the video you can hear what appears to be a wolf's howl. Wolves in Japan have been considered extinct since the early 1900s, could this audio be proof that they're still out there?

Zoologist Hyatt Verrill once claimed to own a peculiar creature called a "sun dog" he acquired in Mexico. It was 60cm (2ft) long, had an odd mask pattern on its face, an undershot lower jaw, and a long tongue. It was described as aggressive, snarling when anyone came near it.

This is cool, someone found a drawing of Marvin in a Japanese book called Giant Monsters of the World. For those who don't know, Marvin is an unidentified animal videotaped off the coast of California in the 1960s.
