Scientists Finally Unlocked the Mystery of the Yeti

Bigfoot Loch Ness monster

chupacabra Mothman and other similar

creatures are called Cryptids the pseudo

or fake science that studies them is

cryptozoology but every year real

science refutes the existence of these

beasts so let's find out how some

Cryptid myths have been debunked

let's start with one of the most famous

Cryptids Yeti and Bigfoot these two

creatures are almost the same but

legends about them appeared in different

parts of the world Yeti is a big guy

with white fur stories about it appeared

in Nepal several hundred years ago

Bigfoot is a mythical creature of North

America specifically the Pacific

Northwest and legends about it appeared

in the 20th century many people believe

in the giant furry creatures similar to

a bear and a primate at once still no

one has ever presented objective

evidence that this Beast exists you can

find many photos of footprints that

allegedly belong to Bigfoot or Yeti but

most are hoaxes people like not only to

believe in fantastic stories but even to

create them so to create traces of

Bigfoot someone made a large footprint

of clay that had similarities with the

human foot the hair and DNA samples

found in the woods besides the prince

were of artificial origin it was

synthetic or the hair of deers bulls and

bears oh and do you remember that famous

video of poor quality with a Bigfoot

perhaps the film was real and wasn't

edited but the creature caught on camera

was probably an actor in a gorilla

costume or something

all the animals the American black bear

is a perfect candidate for the role of

Bigfoot this giant Beast is covered with

fur and can stand on its hind legs but

the most exciting thing is that

scientists have identified a pattern

between Bigfoot reports and the black

bear population it turned out that

people saw Bigfoot in the places where

many bears live

now a similar story happened to Yeti a

group of scientists studied DNA hair

samples that as people said belonged to

the yeti they discovered that all these

samples belong to rare species of bears

and even dogs this study May disappoint

the fans of the Fantastic monster but it

pleased the scientists they got the

information that can give a more

detailed idea of the Bear's Evolution

still I'm sure there will be more

Bigfoot sightings yet again

reports of the next fantastic monster

appeared in 1987 in Puerto Rico an

unknown creature entered Farms to Feast

on goats chickens and other animals many

said they had seen an animal similar to

a dog a reptile and a rodent with an

elongated face large fangs and scales

some claim they had seen a monster with

smooth skin little to no hair and an

unpleasant smell no it wasn't me people

called it the chupacabra every night it

would attack livestock and Farmers

couldn't catch it at least that's what

the newspaper said it was partly true

the residents did see a scary creature

in the barns but was it something

fantastic when scientists from the

University of Michigan could solve the

mystery of the chupacabra he said that

the monster was probably an ordinary

coyote more precisely several coyotes

having scabbies in Puerto Rico some

ticks climb on animals and cause itching

because of this itch coyotes lose their

hair this explains why many people saw

bald Monsters the darkness the fear of

the unknown and people's imagination

turned the frightened animal into a

monster with a worst case of ticks

coyotes began to emit an unpleasant

smell their skin loses its fur and

becomes thicker as a result the animal

turns into a chupacabra it loses

strength so it chooses easier prey for

hunting livestock

this thing appeared in the middle of the

night in the dense forests of West

Virginia it's a tall person with huge

wings and glowing red eyes you probably

know it as the Mothman people first

heard about it in November 1966.

in the small town of Point Pleasant two

young people were walking in the woods

and saw a terrible monster a massive guy

with red eyes and 10-foot Wings they ran

out of the woods and immediately called

the sheriff after that the police began

to comb the forest a local newspaper

wrote an article about the mysterious

monster from that moment on rumors about

the Mothman started to spread throughout

the state and the U.S

he became as popular as Bigfoot and the

Loch Ness monster people made a festival

in mothman's honor and Hollywood created

a horror film about it but unlike most

of the Cryptids Mothman has no photos or

videos myths and legends keep this

creature Popular by the way the

residents of Point Pleasant benefit as

their town has become a place of

Attraction for Mothman lovers people

make good cash selling souvenirs with

the image of the monster tourists spend

money on hotels and excursions and

contribute to economic growth what's the

point of destroying all the myths about

Mothman if it's that profitable

nevertheless the legend appeared somehow

and a guy named Jonathan getter decided

to discover its origin he studied the

first newspaper articles about the

Mothman and read many books almost all

of them were written by cryptozoology

enthusiasts all the documentaries and

articles didn't contain anything

scientific either however Jonathan

learned an exciting story about Point

Pleasant at the beginning of the 20th

century factories for producing harmful

substances worked here when the plants

closed the leftover substances began to

pollute the environment perhaps some

part of the story about the Mothman is

connected with people's idea of polluted

nature the context of the town's history

gave birth to Mothman in people's heads

in addition in 1967 there was a big

disaster in the city the Silver Bridge

the main entrance road to Point Pleasant

collapsed the tragedy brought a lot of

grief in some residents believe that

Mothman was involved somehow

our next Cryptid lives in the water a

monster called Stellar's CH is less

famous than other pseudo-real creatures

but its appearance is quite specific so

imagine an oblong thick body about six

feet long just under the height of an

NBA star the monster is covered with

thick reddish-colored hair with a white

stripe on its back the head of Stellar

C8 looks like a dogs pointed ears look

up and long whiskers hang from both

sides of the lips stories about it

appeared thanks to naturalist George

Wilhelm Stellar according to his

description the ape resembled a walrus

or seal but pictures on the internet

show something between a mermaid and a

cat

a naturalist saw this creature during

the Great Northern Expedition aboard the

ship Saint Peter in the 1740s on this

Maritime Expedition he met many animals

including the C8 and described them in

his diary he was a well-known naturalist

so many believed in the existence of

this creature some believe that the

naturalists described ocean seals others

think that the sea ape was the captain

of the Saint Peter vidis bearing Stellar

had a conflict with the captain so he

could jokingly describe him as the ca

According to some records vidis bearing

had a long drooping mustache and a large

belly

so the most popular Cryptid in the world

has a chance to get out of the field of

cryptozoology and get into real science

this is the Loch Ness monster it makes

no sense now to try and tell truth from

fiction among thousands of records and

messages about it but hey let's look at

a recent scientific study according to

rumors and guesses Nessie is a

descendant of an ancient Marine dinosaur

a plesiosaur but this theory was quickly

refuted because Plesiosaurus lived only

in saltwater however a group of

paleontologists discovered fossils of

this reptile in a 100 million year old

river system and this system was

freshwater that means that plesiosaurs

could have lived in the giant lake Loch

Ness perhaps one of their descendants

has been able to survive to this day so

go ahead dip your toe in the water.
