Cryptids: Jurassic Park Is Real-Or Is Thought By Others

July 21, 2009

Okay, when I posted about Coelocanths, I knew that people have sighted living prehistory-dinosaurs.  This is a story I like to call Jurassic Park Has Jumped Off The Screen

Our story begins 65 million years ago, in the Cretaceous period.  Big meteor hits Earth, see ya dinos!  Or so we think.  Fast forward to modern times.  Actually, 1944.  A man saw what seemed to be this:

65 Million Years Later...

Yes, a pterosaur.  We believe he saw a Ropen, a supposed living fossil.  They sometimes give off bioluminescence, or natural light giving off by certain animals.  Now, pterosaurs have been portrayed as several cryptids.  but on a bigger scale, there’s Mokele Mbembe.  He’s supposed to be a living sauropod.

And to end this story, the most killer of killers of most killer killers.  The Kasai Rex!  Of course, it’s based on the T-Rex.  But this photo is just a big lizard.  Seems to be fake.

Big Ears, Dontcha Think?

That wraps up the tale of the living dinosaurs.  Could these really exist, or are they just paranoia and legends.  Now, I’m off to watch some Monsterquest on the Ropen!

Cryptids: Legends Of The Deep

As for our first Cryptids entry, I’m going to show you the not-so-famous sea monster legends.

Many Sea Monsters Have Only Been Drawn

That’s correct!  But monster legends go way back then.  And some are just so recent.  Like Lusca.

Gross, but cool!

Countless sea monsters have been reported , like

  • Nessie
  • Champ
  • Chessie
  • Morgawr
  • Cadbrosaurus

But many more have come from mythology.  Many.  Next time, if ancient fish still exist, why not dinosaurs?
