Do you know about CRYPTIDS?

In this big world there are species living among us who have been sighted multiple times but their existence has still not been proven! I will talk about some of these creatures who are yet to be proved of their existence. And I will also talk about some creatures who were previously mysterious and are now being proven!

First Let's talk about a few creatures who were previously CRYPTIDS but have now been proven of their existence

1. KANGAROO

   This famous Australian creature was previously a mysterious being whose existence was unknown. Early Travelers from Europe when visited Australia reported a strange animal who can stand upright like a man and can jump like a frog. Sometimes they also found these creatures to have 2 heads: one above their shoulders and one near their stomach! But later with time as people moved on to Australia , their sightings become more prominent. And they were proven of their existence around 1770s! What would you have done if you would have never heard of Kangaroo before?

1. THE KOMODO DRAGON

   Till 20th century, Science have determined that giant lizards are nothing but a thing of past and can no longer exist. But then during the early 20th Century when a few fisherman returned from Lesser Sunda Islands, in Indonesia and told about the giant gruesome land crocodiles they saw, people give it a laugh as no such thing can exist. But later around 1930, a few researchers from American Museum of Natural History visited to the place and confirmed their existence and due to their monstrous look they gave their name as a "DRAGON" - THE KOMODO DRAGON.

1. Gorilla

   Can you think in the past people didn't believe Gorilla existed? They had multiple sightings and were called as "The Monkey Man", "The Ape Man". In the 16th century one of the American Explorers "Andrew Battel " told how a Ape like Man visited his camp in the night. Only a handful of people had sightings of a Gorilla and when they talked about them, people laughed and just ignored that this thing can never exist! Their existence was proven in 1902 when Captain Robert von Beringe one of the German Officers shot one of these Ape like Man and showed the world.

   

   In the next part I will be talking about some of the creatures whose existence is still unknown in the present although some of their sightings have been made. Who knows in the future this creatures will be like Kangaroos, Komodo Dragon or a Gorilla?

   
   I will talk more about this in my next article. Till then bye bye happy reading :)
