The Term Blobsquatch Is Used When An Image Is Taken Of A Supposed Sasquatch But Nothing Can Be Deciphered

Ever heard of the Black Shuck?  It is a large ghostly black dog that is commonly considered to be an omen of death across the British Isles, however at times it has been known to help those that that meet it.  I wonder how cute Black Shuck puppies are. 🖤

Colourised footage of Benjamin, the last know Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine).

Benjamin died on September 7th, 1936 in Hobart zoo. It is believed that he died out of neglect, as he was locked out of his shelter and was exposed to the searing hot sun and freezing cold night of Tasmania.

The Thylacine was one of the last large marsupials left on Australia (the other being the Kangaroo) after a great extinction event occurred around 40 thousand years ago. This extinction event, caused mainly by the arrival of humans, wiped out 90% of Australia’s terrestrial vertebrates, including the famous Megafauna.

The Thylacine was around 15-30kg (33-66lbs), were carnivorous, and had numerous similarities to other species like dogs, despite not being related and purely by chance, in a phenomenon known as convergent evolution (just like the ability to fly of bats and birds, despite following different evolutionary paths). Not only that, they could open their jaws up to 120 degrees, could hop around on two legs like a kangaroo, and both males and females had pouches.

Lastly in a cruel twist, the Tasmanian government decided to protect the Thylacine - just 59 days before the last one died, in a very notable case case of “Too little too late”. To date, many biologists believe that there are still Thylacine roaming the wild plains of Australia. 

Cryptid Fact Number 2: WSDOT East Tweeted out a Bigfoot sighting in Washington State today. The sighting was reported at Route 20 on Sherman Pass. The photograph shows what appears to be a Bigfoot running by some trees. This sighting made the national news.

Mystery’s over guys. Everyone go home.
