Cryptozoology
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2007 6:19 pmWhat possible explanations could there be for the sightings, footprints, and even film, of Bigfoot? Or any of the other crypto-animals?
Two foreign people may have sighted a sort of wild boar and thought it was a Mokele-mbembe
A short-sighted blond girl said that the flying animal must have been a pterosaur, but I thought it couldn’t be; it might be a stork
A mass hysteria may have taken a group of hunters and they shared the illusion of sighting a big foot.
The shadow on the water may not have been the Loch Ness Monster, but it could be a big salmon.
Do you believe any of these animals really exist? Why/Why not?
No, these amazing animals are only beautiful stories for credulous people, superstitions, legends, and, in some cases, a way for attract tourism to poor(est) areas.
A mysterious, far, strange, unreachable sort of being is more attractive, more seductive as a thought than a real but often sighted animal, even though this animal may have been marvellous, like insects or arachnids.
Think about it: all this cryptozoology has big size. Do you really believe that a big animal, or a big thing, could escape from the natural areas human frequentation? Is there a place so far, so hidden, where no man has arrived? I don’t believe so.
But it’s a nice dream, isn’t it?
