You are now listening to Bigfoot and beyond featuring the

Lenin and McCartney of Bigfoot, the other arguably Harrison and Star, Cliff and Bobo.

So, Kian, of all the animals and potential cryptids out there, are you willing to say that any of them,

and specifically which ones are not real? They don't exist this is nonsense well I guess chupacabra is an obvious choice

because again I just haven't seen I think it's a lot of different misunderstandings of known animals and who knows maybe something weird or supernatural, but I would say Jupacabra is probably not a thing. I know that'll that'll disappoint a lot of

people a lot of listeners. The Jersey Devil I think again might be a composite

identity thing but I mean this the notion of like this can't flying kangaroo type thing that that lives in New Jersey

you know I don't put a lot of stock in that.

Sadly some of the cryptids that were considered promising back in the day are probably no longer viewed as viable.

For example, there was, in Africa, there was something called the chemosit or Nandy Bear, which was described in Kenya, Africa, there was this giant predator-like,

bear-like animal, but most of those sightings are so old now. There are no modern

sightings that I've heard of, but back in the day that was like an A-list crypted.

But you know, any of the ones with the more kind of

sensational or fantastic descriptions or characteristics sadly or less probable.

I'll flip it around for you and I'll give you like statistics sadly or less probable.

I'll give you like my top three most probable cryptids outside of Bigfoot because

you know we all know Bigfoot's always on the list but number one for me is that the phylacine or the

Tasmanian tiger which is of course a carnivorous marsupial that's I mean there's

like a thousand sightings now from Tasmania and Australia since...

That's a pretty good footage too.

Yeah, so there's the Doyle footage from the 70s and some and I and moreover there have

been you know colleagues of mine like Richard Freeman who've gone down there and seen a lot of evidence.
