Let me know what type of content you’d like to see next!
Really glad my 20-year-old editor doesn't know the difference between lock and loch, make sure you all comment and give him a hard time about it!
Nessy was not amused, not amused at all!
And you don't know the difference between a Wales dock and whale dick if you think Nessie could be an erection. Seals visit the loch. Whales don't.
Editor better hand over about tree-fiddy in emotional damages.
How bloody dare you 20 year old editor
We all make mistakes editor, it’s ok just make sure you learn from them keep it up big dawg
The moonshiners inventing a creature to keep people away is basically an episode of Scooby Doo
And they would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids.
Dog you made me lol
"Whether it's whale penis, or waves"
Well done, you've said something that has never been said before.
I read this before watching the video and I was like "Wtf?? Where does this come in?" I would have never expected 😆
So you're telling me nessies head, could he a whales head... dang.
Dog man??
TFS Frieza: “That’s… a new one.”
Nessie is just a big D.
I love the documentaries where you discovered that the Spectacled Bear and the Red Wolf were behind the stories about mysterious creatures. Neither of those animals are talked about as often as they should. So I'm grateful that someone like you put a spotlight on them.
I live in the Ozarks and we still hear reports of The Ozark Howler being spotted! Most descriptions seem to relay a large black hyena with a long cat-like tail.
Also, I've personally seen the non-existent "black panther". Twice!
Well, panthers are black and Do exist sooo! Or did it look different?
@@JohnDoe-qz1ql ALL wildlife officials east of the Missip. River are trained to deny their existence but they know they are lying in doing so, funding would be required to accept it, I know this is not full on about the black panther but it is a fact few know sadly but anyone who spends any long periods of time in remote areas or live in such areas know they are alive and well and have been this whole time east of the Missip. River.
I'd love for you to come to Vancouver Island and do a Sasquatch search. I've lived here for over 20 years, am an avid outdoorsman and spend months every summer and fall off-the-grid, deep in the rain forest.
It isn't even that I believe in bigfoot, but I do find it remotely plausible. Based entirely upon the fact that we have a large, healthy cougar population, and in all my years here, have only ever seen one once. One other time, I jumped off a fallen tree into some grasses, heading out fishing, and a cougar was within 10 feet. I never saw it, but it made a yowling noise I'll never forget, and then I just heard the grasses whooshing as it took off. I've never found skeletons, and only rarely find tracks or droppings.
If a wild animal with just slightly more intelligence than a cougar lives here...well...it would just never be found, and only very rarely sighted. Like the Sasquatch seems to be.
I didn't say a hunting cougar. I said a cougar. Period. Nice little deception there. I really am from a place with a large population, and obviously I know it is pointless even worrying about a cougar when I'm out in the bush or fishing the rivers. If it wants to get me, I will never see it coming.
The one I saw was just calmly crossing the road 35 or 40 meters ahead of my car, early in the morning.
That's a very interesting, thoughtful comparison!
The thing is we KNOW such an animal DID exist, just a hundred thousand years ago which is the blink of an eye history wise. Gigantopithicus, the bones are there in anthropology labs.
@@CMc-v7z May be wrong, but I think he said 2 million years ago. That scale difference changes the possibility a bit.
I agree there is so much space that hasn’t been explored. In my opinion it’s dumb to not at least have the possibility of something existing out there.
I like the theory that the Chupacabra is the missing breading pairs of Thylacine lost after a ship carrying them to a zoo in the Americas ran aground. Mostly because I want the good ole Tazzi Tiger to still be out there!
In my heart of hearts all I want for Christmas is a Tasmanian tiger mating pair to be true
Sturgeon is another possibility for Loch Ness. They can get huge, their heads are equally big and sturgeon do go in and out of the loch via rivers.
😆🤣
A skull was found in 1943 I think it was. it’s no sturgeon
@@killintime8431 pretty sure the skull belongs to a pleisosaur which is extinct
@@PerfectCell.475 ya probably not much is known about it except it was found in the lock less area
@@moon-moth1 not a fossil is a skull (bone) not a fossil you do know the difference between bones and fossil’s
I like that cryptozoology isn’t really the study of “magical animals” but is actively trying to apply real species to these stories.
And a couple of these cryptids have actually been found. One example is the mountain man of the highlands in Africa that was actually found and is the animal we now know as the gorilla. Another example is the cryptid that was described as a forest giraffe with a short neck. That cryptid was discovered and is now known as the okapi. Both of these were briefly mentioned by Forrest in this video, but both were originally cryptids.
@@garymaidman625and when were those animals discovered and how many have been proven since?
@@bjrnhalfhand2258the gorilla was formally a cryptid and has since been recognised by science, as has the okapi. Another cryptid that is now recognised by science is the orangutan, which in the local language means forest person. Giant squid is another example. The platypus is another. The frilled shark is another. Komodo Dragon is another. Another example is the Bondegezou, which was said to be an ancestral spirit of the Moni people in Western Papua. Turns out a scientist discovered it and it's a species of tree kangaroo. So, there have been many cryptids that have been formally recognised by science.
The Kraken - recently identified as the Colossal Squid.
@@teleriferchnyfain not quite. The Kraken is still a mythological creature. It may have been based off a type of mega squid, but it's not the same as.
I want you to go on Joe Rogan and explain your Loch Ness monster theory to him.
*Joe;* “Hold my beer”
Makes absolutley no sense. There's no ocean access to the Loch Ness.
I mean…. The lochness story is kinda lame now especially being a hoax
@@promontorium, That's not quite true. An underwater cave system that connects the two was found. Discovered by sonar tracking "something big" that just suddenly disappeared. Upon dive team investigation the caves opening was found. Further searches found huge underground, air filled chambers that had underwater entrances leading both in & out of these chambers w huge, fresh " dinosaur" tracks leading into & out of the various openings. Once discovered the search teams were banned & the local govt hushed everything up. There are also reports of gigantic tunnel systems that form a grid work under the crust of the entire planet connecting every continent with walls harder than diamonds obviously made by some NON human entities w a tech so advanced we can't even come close to replicating it. Our military has secret underground city's installed in these caves, theoretically working with non human entities for their tech. Antarctica is just one of these bases. They're global. Even the Bible tells of non human entities interacting w humanity. The nephelium & giants came from these cross breeds. Bible just called them " Angels & demons." Fallen angels who rebelled against God & are now trapped & imprisoned on earth. Entities who can shapeshift into any form they want to hide among us in plane sight. Washington D.C. is full of these evil entities. God hating pig demons wearing human suits.
I think he has!
Bro, just bring back this show. I loved this show
Easier said then done.
When I was a kid my grandmother lived outside of Eureka Springs, Arkansas for a couple of years. One time visiting, she said she was going to be moving soon. When we asked why, she said she heard something howl in the woods behind the house one night and it scared her. She said she had never heard anything like that before. And she grew up in a log cabin on a 200 acre farm in east central Missouri.
I had an experience with the dog man of Michigan, at the time I was confused and thought I was tripping. I had no clue about the “dog man” till couple years later I saw a video about it and it’s sent goosebumps across my body.
Valid!
So you were intoxicated?
All I've ever seen here is the occasional koi fish hanging out with common carp in the Rouge River near me
Do I care about cryptids? No. I will I listen to anything this man says? Absolutely!
Same for me as well. Forrest is well respected in the scientific community, and that is why im subscribed to his channel.
I care about cryptids and I want to hear his opinion. Remember Gorrilas and many animals were considered cryptids until they were "discovered" by westerners.
I mean everything is a cryptid till it isn’t
Abit gay
after listening to him on joe rogan i thought this dude has to be the most interesting nature narrator to grace the earth apart from david attenborough ofc
The Oklahoma octopus is a creature you must check out.
The logness monster 😂
I thought the giant eel species discovered in Iceland which ironically was what the Worm monster was all these centuries in Iceland fixed the myth to fact? It was not long ago, maybe a little over 5 years ago this occurred.
I'm pretty sure I remember watching a documentary about Nessie that talked about the eels in the Loch specifically. When they took water and soil samples from all over the Loch to test for animal DNA in the water, the researchers said there was so much eel DNA in their samples that the only way they could have found more was if they actually caught an eel in their samples
“Mokele-mbwmbe” when translated means “I don’t understand”. Only once shown sauropod pictures did they start saying “yep that’s it”.
Being paid to guide eager explorers around on a wild goose chase isn’t such a bad way to make a living.
It's only fair (and ironic) the locals take advantage of the explorers that believe in and perpetuate the "Heart of Darkness" myth.
I'm half Congolese and I have met some pygmées and older people who confirmed me that the Mokele Mbembe story is true however the beast is not a common animal but a spirit that can be summoned...😮.🤷🏾♂️
@@rybackfrankie8679I heard this story years ago and thought, hmmm... Could there be an unidentified giraffe living in the Congo???
I'm Congolese it's real yes it looks like a reptile giraffe I've seen it before myself. @@scottlockamy5508
How the hell do you not have more than a million followers?! I’ve never listened to someone so happy and knowledgeable about every aspect of their job. I also love when your accent sneaks out on words like can’t.
Look back at all his videos, only a year and he's almost to a million already! He'll get there, we believe and respect
Because reality and realistic explanations aren't exactly clickbait. People prefer sensational channels that lean into myths and such instead of whst Forest does.
An interesting theory about the Loch Ness monster being Whales or Greenland Sharks but Loch Ness is a freshwater loch and has a couple of wiers (low-head dams) downstream making it impossible for a Shark or Whale to make it as far as the loch. I think Seals or debris is the most likely answer. Great video as always Forrest, looking forward to the next one!!
Had no idea there were bears in South America.
Never heard of Paddington bear?
12:37 - "I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those darn kids".
About Chupacabra:
a) Madeleine Tolentino was not one of the first witness, she actualy was one of the last when the Chupacabra attacked in Puerto Rico, the reports came from at least one year before she even was known and her testimony has always been tainted due to that species movie. Well, she is an "early" witness if, and only if you count the reports outside Puerto Rico, but that was more likely mass histeria.
b) About necropsies. Is not clear: They where done by both, public and private entities wich obviously contradicted each other, however they did found no blood sucking was performed. Still, something killed those animals, public entitie blamed dogs but no evidence of canine attacks where found.
c) About the Chupacabra going international: NO. The chupacabra was just a Puerto Rico thing wich lasted for about 1 or 2 years. The world has claimed they´ve seen it in the U.S and every country in the americas, even as far as Russia, but the reports of clearly manged dogs, coyote or foxes do not match. however, is the international chupacabra what keeps the fire going despise the original cryptid disappering almost 3o years ago.
d) In Puerto rico: It was not the first time, they had the vampire of mocca in the 70´s and it was doing the exact same thing as whatever the chupacabras was, just the media did not covered it.
Now. I´m not claiming the Chupacabras is real, as a matter of fact, out of the many modern cryptids a kangaroo like reptile is in the more unlikely spectre. But the reasons people debunk this cryptid are also wrong. Truth is, something in puerto rico killed hundreds of animals in the 70´s and did it again in the 90´s, no blood sucking done though, no noise or struggle either, so Dogs are ruled out. So what killed them? Well, very likely to be humans themselves.
The explanation of the lochness took a sharp right turn lol
I hope he is joking with his theory though, claiming salt water only species being in fresh water and doing it often when they cannot breathe fresh water, any whales and all Greenland Sharks.
In the MalaysiancNational park Taman Negara I spoke to our local tour guide about the Orang Pendek. He said that supposedly a soldier of the malaysian army got lost while being on a trip and was helped by the forest people Orang Pendek.
I’ve been watching you on TH-cam for a long while now and recently found out my grandparents actually watch your show on I can’t remember if it was discovery travel or animal planet but I came over and low and behold they were watching you 😂❤
Showing LOVE for the channel ❤️ have a blessed day everyone
I love how you debunk all of these in a very considerate and scientific way. Great video!
That Lockness is easily the funniest cryptid and then Whether it's whale penis, or waves" that was GOLD man
@@MonkeyDRickey No large whales swim up in rivers to fresh water lakes, not anywhere in the world.
That is stupidity!
Ohh come on forrest its loch ness not lock ness 😭 loch is only accessible through a canal system, so a whale would be unlikely.
That was probably just a type he made. Relax.
@@penguinagents2015 Whoever edited this, went full "LOCKNESS", then a second later showed the map with "Loch Ness" 💀 and still left it like this. Zero care.
Little things like this shows the intelligence and education level of someone and can be the difference between subscribe or "meh".
Also, it's "typo".
And Greenland Shark., and not unlikely, impossible.
umm whales are seen the often lol
@@jameschapman7996 what kind of whale? I'm curious? A blue whale?
I'm half Congolese and I have met some pygmées and older people who confirmed me that the Mokele Mbembe story is true however the beast is not a common animal but a spirit that can be summoned....🤷🏾♂️
In terms of Loch ness monster type animals i have seen similar in Canada. I spend a lot of time on the water fishing and over more than forty years i have seen five sightings. Two were atypical water disturbances, three were actual sightings . Six if i count a very large sonar contact. The best sighting i had was a long neck bent in a swan configuration. Animal was black, eyes were shiny like a walleyes, teeth appeared conical like a dolphin. Inside of the mouth was red. Looked like it was trying to eat a bird out of a tree next to the lake. Neck was long , more than six feet. You can doubt until you actually see something and i am very familiar with most fish so it wasn't that.
Awesome video you should write another book on this!
I commented on the howler video you made. I swear on everything I seen a texas redwolf in 2006 in Baxter County Arkansas. Right off the Buffalo River.
You should look at the Aztec Ahuizotl and the water opossum that lives in that area, they're a perfect match, and I think more people should know about them!
I do miss when the world was more mysteries and everything was not explained away
Forrest bring back the extinct or alive series
The knowledge this man has is fascinating.
Love your work! Keep it up
Jeremy Wade of River Monsters also said the same thing its the greenland shark
I’d be willing to bet that the Chupacabra stories are based on a Xolo dog (Mexican hairless dog) with mange or some other kind of skin infection.
So using “moonshiner logic” maybe the Ozark Howlers are just “Breaking Bad” folks coming out and screaming at night to scare people away.
*Makes sense.* 🥴
I don’t disagree with your conclusion. But it does not dismiss everything! May God bless you.
Thanks Forest! I requested this video awhile back! Great insight into the world of cryptids! Notice you didn't talk about sasquatch tho! 🤔 Personally I feel that's the only cryptid that could be real.
Love your stuff Forrest! One note though, Oklahoma/Arkansas/Texas aren’t part of the USA’s Midwest. Missouri tends to be included, but is usually the western & southern most state included
I love cryptids
I personally think it is a giant eel. The environmental DNA from the lochness suggests eels. Plus even now we don't even really know all of eels reproduction cycle, but if I recall correctly they way eels grow is kinda like Axolttles if a certain environmental trigger doesn't get met it can cause them to grow an adapt differently.
If the eels can't get out of lochness to head to the sargaso sea then this trigger what ever part of their growth cycle to make them keep growing. Thus giant eels.
Thought potatoe 😂
Thought potato sent you here but I do agree I’ve seen some land locked eels get massive
Unlikely
Not sure how a whale would make it through all the locks, like water gates on between the loch Ness and the ocean.
Guys the lochness photo is clearly an orca and the neck is the top fin which with age do fall a bit
Please help forest see this!!!
Loch Ness is a fresh water lake not a sea loch. So whales, seals and sharks can be ruled out.
Thank you for all you do for nature ❤
I like the theory that chupacabra are Tasmanian Tigers that escaped captivity.
Moca,PR! My hometown...didn't know this legend/stories will still carry until this day.
Forrest can you have two Matamata turtles in a 3000 g pond
Look up how much space 1 needs and go from there. Google's your friend bro
@@simpled5755 ok
Yeah fam just go for it
The Greenland sleeper shark in Loch Ness? Can Greenland sharks survive in fresh water? Whales in the Loch?
To get into the Loch via the Sea, the whale would need to navigate through very narrow water ways that also contain Loch gates.
Its no way a whale or a shark.
Famous qoute: "If the search for the Loch Ness monster was a jury trial, there had already been a 'guilty' verdict many years ago".. The Guildford four concur..
Ann's Barry George among many more
Most long, narrow, deep landlocked lakes have similar legends. One of the most likely theories - vegetation sinks to the bottom, which is an anaerobic environment, where methane forms. When it bubbles up it sometimes pushes such things as tree trunks to the surface at speed. You see a tree trun with a branch speeding along just under the water’s surface you ARE going to think ‘sea monster’ !
Bigfoot?
I'd say Bigfoot is an Ape in the middle of becoming Human. That or it was on the way but stopped in the middle and thats why there only legends of it. Not saying there are a ton out there, or that we were once Big Foots. But in the grand scheme of long-term evolution I wouldn't be surprised if there is an Ape species out there thats half as intelligent as humans but still as animalistically attuned to nature as most animals are. I don't see why it isn't possible and theres also a story from Military operations in the Middle East where a platoon fought a giant Ape man. That story helps me think maybe there were more Big Foot like creatures and as time has gone on they've died out, been killed in a more distant past and/or have learned to steer clear of their "civilized" Human cousins
A skull was found in the 1940s in BC Canada it’s still on display in Harrison park I’ve seen it I’ve got no clue why more people don’t know about it
I think you're right but theres probably thousands of bigfoots I experienced one in Michigan the ground shook when it walked 5 witnesses@@donaldorizzo.9952
Really good fun video. Thank you.
To my understanding, Mokele-mbembe is not usually described as having a horn. The body shape and the behaviors such as being aggressive, mostly aquatic and prone to digging into muddy banks are commonly described. It is also said to sometimes have a frill on its neck, appear reptilian and have large, clawed feet. While it has been reported to have the shape of a sauropod, the shape of any sighting is always up for a bit of interpretation. A drawing of a Brontosaurus is not all that different in shape from a drawing of a turtle. All of this sounds like a giant soft-shell turtle, such as Rafetus swinhoei. Perhaps there is a similar, but undiscovered, species living in Congo.
can you research the "mythical" creatures of Australia, especially the Bunyip (my favourite). love your knowledge, insight and presentation
Isn't Loch Ness fresh water? How would a whale or shark live there?
It’s also landlocked. How would it have an air breathing whale, without any sightings of it breaching?…
Lake Loch Ness has a northern river that eventually meets the Northern Sea
@@nightstudios5685 River Ness which connects the loch to the sea averages between 1 to 2 meters (3-7ft) deep and 20 to 60 meters wide. nowhere near big enough to accommodate a sea creature as big as Nessie is reported to be
The loch is about 23 miles long and 800ft deep
And they believe that there's underwater caves that lead to the sea
Intentional word choice here? 😂 9:46
Now do the Lusca, the “sharktopus” of the Bahamas.
possible unknown large octopus in the Atlantic.
I had no idea Loch Ness had such direct access to the ocean and its wildlife. That makes a lot of sense.
The lochness monster case is kinda funny to me. This surgeon was like "I'm gonna go down in history as the man who proved her existence, haha funny prank!!" but his kids were like "dad thought he'd have a legacy when he died? Nope!"
I think Nessie WAS real, but to say she's still alive hundreds of years after the original sighting is insane. Nobody wants to think about the fact that Nessie still being alive implies two things:
1. There's a breeding population of massive dinosaurs living in a relatively small area that absolutely Nobody has ever seen a single fragment of past a wave/head.
2. Dinosaurs are in fact immortal and can live for thousands of years.
There is so much wrong with your second point. If an organism lives for thousands of years, it isn't immortal, it is still mortal, just long living. Immortal means it cannot die. The Immortal Jellyfish is in fact immortal. Also, Loch Ness has been thoroughly explored over decades, every millimetre of the Loch and below the surface has been explored. So no, there is no cryptid called Loch Ness monster. It is not a plesiosaur. There may be other explanations or it may be all one big hoax.
@@garymaidman625 He's literally saying he doesn't believe that it still exists or alive. So quick to argue
@@nightstudios5685did I say at all that he was wrong? I am agreeing with what he says. So quick to argue.
A skull was found in 1943 I think it was.Not a lot of people know about it but it did happen I think the skull was sold to a collector that’s about all I can remember of the story
@@moon-moth1 to be fair, it depends what you mean by way back. Is way back millions of years? Then it could have been something back then. If way back is one hundred or two hundred years, which isn't really way back, then I agree to a point. There is no animal with the description of Nessie, but there could be an animal responsible for the sightings.
First time here. You may have already done this, but how aboyt a video of the cryptids, we know, are out there. Such as the rake, night crawlers, werewolves, skinwalkers, even feral humans, although i consider them to be more animal. Ive personally seen 3 cryptids in my life, all by chance. I also search for different ones, but have found nothing to date.
Do a series about this mithical creatures everyday like this
I once saw the Lock Ness but I was able to open it 😂
I do believe in the Indeterminate Growth theory. The theory that an animal in the perfect conditions, all the food and water it could have, no disease or health aliments, and perfect habitat; can out grow their preprogramed genetics. Basically, they can be larger than what they were supposed to be.
9:36
And when ur me it is still preaty gigantic too😂😂
A priest wrote about the Loch Ness Monster a thousand years ago almost. He described a huge serpert beast crossing the path in front of him from one side of the Loch to the other.
When I was a kid, my grandpa used to raise goat and sometimes one or two were found dead, dry with no blood. Sometimes with punctures on the neck hard to spot. But at that time we used to think it was for pumas and jaguars that are common on the region.
7:06 I still contend that famous pic of Nessie looks a lot like an elephant swimming, using its trunk as a snorkle. Elephants are awesome btw.
Can you investigate the Vietnamese big foot?
I think Mokele Mbembe might exist. That area is huge and wild, basically only pygmies live there.
Awesome vid!
I am pretty sure the mangy coyote who lived near our trailer home when I was posted to AZ deserved his name Chupacabra… but every time my naked cat got out he chased Chup and I swear Chup screamed, “El Chupacabra!” as he ran from my Sphynx in terror. He never did figure out the Sphynx wasn’t a monster.
A whale schlong? A whale getting into the loch is *almost* as silly as the plesiosaur idea
umm whales are there often lol
@@jameschapman7996 Can't find a single account of a whale in the loch.
Nature has a lot of beautiful mysteries ♥️
Honestly if you went to the Congo and discovered a new species and locals say you found Mokele-mbembe
I think the world would collectively have a heart attack
About 1900 an elephant hunter john Alfred Jordan shot a creature in the Maggori River, East side of Lake Victoria. It wasn't recovered but he gave a good description. Crocodile like big & long with similar feet, pretty scales like an Arab Cuirass & leopard, rounded head & large fangs, broad like a hippo. The Kavirondo had a legend of the "Dingoek", & his Lumbwa boys were as unfamiliar with it as himself. So whether it was a hoax or something unknown is debatable. This hunter was among the first whites into many places, and his descriptions were good. He hunted Bongo & Okapi when they were rumours, and described herds of 1000 elephants, so had first-hand experience of the mysteries of Africa.
It was a notably different description to the Congo cryptid, & he frequented that area also without mentioning the latter.
The connection beetween the Chupacabra and the sick cannines where a later thing!
Forrest, the Lochness Monster is a Stellers Seacow. A giant North Atlantic manatee. Like the Dodo eaten by 18th century sailors. Thought extinct 150 years ago until recently.
Megalania is worth a mention. The Indonesian Kimodo dragon is Megalania decreased in size by Island Dwarfism. But it's still about in the Australian Northern Territories.
I believe in the mythical creature and this is why. One night my sister and I went for night walk outside our apartment. Coming around the building towards the parking lot we saw something odd. A pack of 5 dogs eating something of parking lot. When we got closer we noticed that those were not dogs. They had a odd shape to them. The fur was short and bright blood red with black tiger strips starting behind their shoulders down their back to their tail. Their body was slender with very long leg, a skiny tail, and fox like ears, and coyote head. Then the 5 raised their heads and all looked at us. That is when we noticed what they were hellhounds, their glowing red eyes. We looked at each other and ran to the light near by. Standing by the light pose. The hellhounds cry when the light hit them. Then the light begin to flicker, and the hellhounds circle aroung us. When the light died we ran to the building and back to our apartment. In the morning the police were here begging up the torn clothes on the parking lot and the clothes in 1 of the apartment that was found open and picture of the odd claw mark on the door and other sign inside the apartment. All we heard was a men and woman came up missing with wild animals could be the cause.
Interesting! Sounds like a Mane Wolf almost in the description, though they tend to be more solitary and are native to South America.
Where did this encounter occur?
The Valley of West Point Apartment in Surprise Arizona.
There's no whales in the Loch Ness.
No monsters either
Wales to get into Lochs..they’re just like fjords
Those whales are going to have to confirm they are 18 and over!
A lot of people think the Lochness monster doesn't exist.
Now I don't know anything about biology, zoology, geography, marine biology, crypto zoology, evolutionary theory, evolutionary biology, meteorology, history, herpatology, geology, paleontology, phylogenetics or archeology but I think... what if a dinosaur had got in a Loch?
Love your channel Forrest.
What a simp
What I think is what if the chupacabra is a thylacine
I believe Forrest actually spoke about a theory on this exact thing when he was on Rogan's podcast at one point. His thoughts on the Chupacabra sightings in the states it being the Thylacine
I doubt enough were imported to establish such a large population, since sightings are VERY widespread and there are no records of them ever being successfully bred in captivity.
Big foot sitting on the sideline like wtf what about me?
Hi Forrest have you heard of the Almasty? It is humanoid creature said to have lived around remote villages in Caucasus.
Some serious work has been made on it and is very well documented, the whole story is truly fascinating. You'll love it for sure
And yet it doesn't even exist.
@@markbrowning4334 Well that's why it is called a cryptid, right? And yet thanks for the precision Sherlock
@@tomminou youtube is full of channels that play into these cryptids as if they exist, and those channels have armies of commentors who also buy into the hype.
They're all dumb asses, of course.
Since you took such offense to a fairly innocent and generalized comment from me, lets go ahead and lump you in with all those dumb asses as well.
I think that only stands to readon.
I lived in Puerto Rico in the mid to late 90’s. I’ve had experience with the chupacabra and some of our pets and animals. It’s the only one no one can convince me it’s not real.
I have heard many tales of the Chupacabra. I have never heard about scales, spines, or a hop.
You should go way deep into the forests in America and look for Sasquatch . Bring night vision cameras for 360 degree coverage, and traps to get foot prints
I’ve seen a Sasquatch I really believe he exists
I also heard a theory that the lock Ness monster is a Elephant trying to swim across and the photo is of its trunk breathing air like a snorkel. Again just a theory though
Ozark howler= misidentified dogman
Nessie= Greenland sharks swimming to Loch Ness through Moray Firth
Access to Loch Ness from Moray Firth is very shallow so a Greenland shark is unlikely. There are way more plausible animal candidates seals, otters, water fowl, on one occasion a deer etc.
@@charlespaxton1927 Jeremy Wade tracked one on River Monsters.
Forrest what are your thoughts on Bigfoot and Yeti?
Gigantopithacus. Probably butchered the spelling 😂
@@FishNFreshWater Yeah you did. Typos happen to everyone.
@@penguinagents2015Giganthopithicus is a extinct great ape. Kinda like a super sized Orangutan which is the largest ape species that we know of. So the Big Foot was possibly a mythologised version of that animal. Theories about the Yeti include Mange affected polar bears, hallucinations, etc.
@@rishisaaptacha There's also the Yowie in Australia and the Orang Pendek in Indonesia.
It's of the homo genus. No way giganto evolved with bipedalism in a few thousand years and crossed the Bering landbridge
Research into Mokele-mbwmbe as well as most dinosauroid cryptids is severely tainted by the fact that the most vocal proponents and “evidence” collector are Young Earth Creationists who have a vested interest in perpetuating the myth.
