If you don't know what "cryptozoology" means, it's basically people trying to prove the existence of creatures such as "Bigfoot," or "The Loch Ness Monster."
I've found a list of many of these alleged creatures. A good amount are actually large versions of a normal animal, such as a giant snake, giant spider, giant hawk, giant fish... as well as some classics such as Bigfoot. The site with this list offers possible explanations for these animals.

Prehistoric sea reptile"Ropen" =
Prehistoric pterosaurAnd that's just a few of them. It's strange how so many of these supposed sightings have extinct animals that match their descriptions.
So, my questions to you guys is, is it possible? Could a few rare individuals have survived where the rest of their species died, and continued a small population in a remote area? Or all they all fake, and people are just seeing what they want to see?
