The Tactical Strategist

@mootanman I haven't heard of those, but yes, they could be considered cryptids. I would love to read and learn about these. It would be quite interesting. Do you have any sites I can refer too

No, Kenyans aren't always taller, but they are tall with lean frames, which help them run, and I didn't say the were born in America. Kenyans that eventually got the oppourtunity to come to America to run track. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonentine/2012/08/12/the-dna-olympics-jamaicans-win-sprinting-genetic-lottery-and-why-we-should-all-care/

All your evidence leads to the conclusion on that's how their body type is. Even well fed, fit Kenyans living in America still are tall, gangly. They tend to have bigger lungs, which help with breathing in the distance, and their slimmer shape help too. While west Africans/Jamaicans tend to naturally have more muscles and power for sprinting. I think environmental factors help make the body type known in west Africans, giving them that body type, if that makes sense

@phil for all I agree that I don't like it when things become dramatized and people use cryptozoology against normal biology. But I do think cryptozoology is interesting in the thought of discovering new creatures, and it should be a science that is well respected. But they should use it to bash biology. Without biology, we wouldn't have cryptozoology. And with your thoughts on evidence, I do agree at being skeptical, but you can't discard it. People looking for bigfoot are more likely to see bigfoot then someone not. And I'm sure the same is true for the Mokele mbembe. But I bet tons of natives see these animals. But they don't have any way of capturing evidence, as they are so primitive

@Ten Oz all true, but would body type determine why some countries are good. I read an article, the same I have mentioned, earlier, I think. The author asked a professional distance runner from east Africa. He loved soccer, but East Africans don't have the body for it, being tall and gangly. At least that was the claim. And Jamaicans come from west african descent, which in turn shows they have a sprinting body, which leads to it being a cultural thing.

The same stories can be found all over the Internet, in books, etc. So I believe it's credible

The velociraptor was a little better. Maybe get a picture with feathers

Well I don't mean for it to be used as evidence for creation, so I don't need people pointing that out, just because it's on a creationist website doesn't mean it can't be used for other things. So I say let's stick with what I mean it to be used for. @stringjunky but they still report them now, orally. They have new encounters I'm sure. But when was the last expedition? We have to go off slightly old info, which is still quite usable

What has been there to record it, except natives, who do it orally?

That's not even a velociraptor!

The article shown mentioned nothing of religion and were encounters of the Mokele mbembe. I suggest you read it and learn from it

They had lots of science on their page, and religion had nothing to do with the Mokele Mbembe

Loch Ness is has a lot to do with hullucinating. First of all, special wave currents in the loch make waves and shapes that can look like the monster. Also lots of debris can too. There is not a lot of life in the loch, so no food supply, and there was even a search, there they lined the whole loch with boats and submarines and went to the other side in unison. No finds. The only thing that could go against this is the ness River that connects to the ocean from the loch, which the monster has been sighted in, but it's extremely shallow most of the time. As with the Mokele mbmbe, they preformed tests to stop fake stories, and proved that these people weren't making up stories to please these white men. They actually believed and saw something. And I could say 17% is quite a bit 17 out of 100 cryptids actually exist. But then again you can round that to 18 so 17-18 cryptids http://www.trueauthority.com/cryptozoology/mokele.htm http://beforeitsnews.com/science-and-technology/2012/01/confirmed-african-natives-kill-dinosaur-1693584.html http://www.icr.org/article/search-congo-dinosaur/

Heck, I wouldn't even want to be close to an allosaur. And maybe same with a stegosaur. But maybe the most dangerous I would say is a raptor of some sort

@mootanman you have already listed a scource for one on Mokele mbembe, which shows plenty of sightings.i figured people would look at that. I'll go and collect some scourges, as I'm just not used to having them with me, as I prefer to memorize, and then speak.a tually, it could be possible that sauropods, at least a small population has survived. A population of Mammoths survived for thousands of years AFTER the extinction of these animals due to isolation.of all the cryptids, the Loch Ness momster is not one I think has survived. As I mentioned before, my book that I have convinced me of that. But who knows, maybe out in the ocean, there still are plesiosaurs. @ajb your coincidence about the Mokele Mbembe and identified fossils is not really something to be suspicious about, way before that, people thought fossils were supernatural items placed by the devil, from ancient Giants, etc. And plus, how would isolated natives know about those fossils. They know what's in the jungle. Same thing with "The Lost World". I don't think it really reached the natives. Btw, Mokele mbembe is said to eat hippos, and on some occasions, certain plants/fruits. Not elephants and crocodiles. And lots of sauropods ate ground vegetation, just to let you know. And who's to say these animals didn't evolve from being in the jungle. And they could very well be a different species not discovered. Paleontolgists haven't discovered even close to the estimated amout of dinosaurs that existed. And what's the likely hood of finding a small group of animals living past the others. Close to none. That's what's true about finding almost any new animals. The scientists that found the mammoths were extremely lucky. And when something's like a Mokele Mbembe dies, it would be a feast for all the animals in the congo. There are far more scavengers there than in North America for a Sasquatch carcass. And if it died in the water, the crocs would have blast. One tribe in the Congo was even said to kill a Mokele mbembe, but the meat was bad and caused food poisoning among those who ate it. As big as this creature is, it still could stay hidden in the Congo. It's so unexplored. The okapi was much the same way, until it eventually was found, in a small heard.

Thank you

Sorry, I don't want to mislead anyone, it's possible that I can be convinced, but it'll be hard

Well the Loch Ness a a special lake and has a lot to do. And you are semi right with the Mokele Mbembe. Different tribes have shown it as different things. Some have shown it to be a sauropod, some show as a rhino, some show as a mix, etc.different tribes have claimed different things, with the majority being a sauropod. And if I remember correctly, tracks have been found to, or at least reported. But evidence for the Mokele Mbembe is the hardest to get, I would imagine, because of the terrain and how secluded the jungle can be. But this isolation can help with this creature not going extinct and remaining hidden

I wish. It would be priceless. But the fossil record sure does show it, so I guess there are "pictures" of it.

Yes, I know that. I'm just extremely stubborn . So I'll argue it till either there is an extremely great theory that disproves it and can convince me. Do you know about the Mokele Mbembe. I know I've been bringing it up, but I think it would be a good topic for cryptozoology

Carp are quite amazing fish, and not trash fish as believed in the U.S.. They just don't go well with fish in the US. I love fishing for them, as I'm an avid fisherman too. But yes, a study showed carp and catfish are the smartest freshwater fish

Maybe. And then there are exceptions when it comes to interracial couples

Maybe not smiling. Peaceful, yes, but still wary of the few predators around, and the occasional moment of panic when an allosaurus pack takes down a stegosaur

Did my post just disappear?! Crap. I'll rewrite it and post when I have time Yes, but there is still a chance that it can. Lost of what they say can't be taken literally, and have to be interpreted. The aborigines of Australia told westerners about the platypus and it was placed as a cryptid. Same with the panda. There is still chances. What's to stop it from being a living fossil like the colecanth. Sasquatch could be gigantopithicus. But that can also lead to the idea of Sasquatch being an ancient creature that is now extinct and still living in the minds of natives. I want to let everyone know that I'm not a full on believer in cryptids, even if I act like I am. I just want a 100% way of knowing these animals can or can't exist. I'm afraid though, that may never happen Out of all the cryptids, I think even though it may seem the most far out, the Mokele mbembe has the best chance of being alive
