Mwinilunga

district's

Jiundu

swamps of Western Zambia, Angola and Congo

.

Suggested identities include a modern-day

Rhamphorhynchus

, a misidentified bird (such as the very large and peculiar saddle-billed stork), or a giant bat. No film has ever been taken, nor have any bodies been examined, leaving all of the stories to rely on large wounds and eyewitness accounts

Slide15

Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid who reputedly inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next, with most describing it as large in size. Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence has varied since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings. The creature has been affectionately referred to by the nickname Nessie

Slide16

Mngwa

Mngwa

or

Nunda is a gigantic, ferocious, dark gray or black nocturnal feline, said to stalk the East African country of Tanzania. Described as, "the size of a donkey," English contact with this animal first began in the 1900s. In 1938, an open-minded discussion of this animal appeared in the then-world-famous British scientific journal Discovery. William Hichens, a British administrator working in Tanzania reported that several natives were attacked by this animal. He thought it to be a giant, man-eating lion that was responsible, but both fur-samples and tracks were different from those of a

lion.

Slide17

Mokele-Mbembe

Mokèlé-mbèmbé

, meaning "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language, is a legendary water-dwelling creature of Congo River basin folklore, sometimes described as a living creature, sometimes as a spirit, and loosely analogous to the Loch Ness Monster in Western culture. It is claimed to be a sauropod by some cryptozoologists

.

Slide18

Mongolian Death Worm

The Mongolian death

worm"large

intestine worm") is an alleged creature reported to exist in the Gobi Desert. It is generally considered a cryptid, an animal whose sightings and reports are disputed or unconfirmed.

It is described as a bright red worm with a wide body that is 2 to 5 feet (0.6 to 1.5 m) long

.

The worm is the subject of a number of claims by Mongolian locals, such as the ability of the worm to spew forth an acid; that, on contact, will turn anything it touches yellow and corroded (and which would kill a human

);

and the ability to kill at a distance by means of electric discharge

.

Slide19

Mothman

Ogopogo

Ogopogo or

Naitaka

is the name given to a cryptid lake monster reported to live in Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia, Canada. Ogopogo has been allegedly seen by First Nations people since the 19th century. The most common description of Ogopogo is a 40 to 50-foot-long (12 to 15 m) sea serpent.

British cryptozoologist Karl

Shuker

has categorized the Ogopogo as a 'many hump' variety of lake monster, and suggested it may be a kind of primitive serpentine whale such as

Basilosaurus

. However, because the physical evidence for the beast is limited to unclear photographs and film, it has also been suggested that the sightings are misidentifications of common animals, such as otters, and inanimate objects, such as floating logs

.

Slide21

Skunk Ape

The skunk ape, also known as the swamp ape, stink ape, Florida Bigfoot,

myakka

ape, and

myakka

skunk ape, is a hominid cryptid said to inhabit the U.S. states of Florida

,

North Carolina, and Arkansas, although reports from Florida are more common. It is named for its appearance and for the unpleasant odor that is said to accompany it. According to the United States National Park Service, the skunk ape does not exist

.

Reports of the skunk ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1974, sightings of a large, foul-smelling, hairy, ape-like creature, which ran upright on two legs were reported in suburban neighborhoods of Dade County, Florida. Skeptical investigator Joe Nickell has written that some of the reports may represent sightings of the black bear (

Ursus

americanus

) and it is likely that other sightings are hoaxes or misidentification of wildlife

.

Slide22

Thunderbird

The thunderbird is a legendary creature in certain North American indigenous peoples' history and culture. It is considered a supernatural bird of power and strength. It is especially important, and frequently depicted, in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures, and is found in various forms among the peoples of the American Southwest, Great Lakes, and Great Plains.

Slide23

The

Ucu

, sometimes called

Ucumar

or

Ukumar-zupai

, is a reported Bigfoot like creature thought to live in the mountainous regions in and around Chili and Argentina. The

is described to be the size of a large dog and walks erect, it is also thought to prefer the more tropical regions of the Andes mountain range. According to natives the

Ucu

likes to eat

payo

, a plant with an inside similar to cabbage, and emits a sound like

uhu

,

uhu

,

uhu

, which Ivan T. Sanderson compared to the noises reported by Albert

Ostman

, who claimed to have been held captive by a family of Sasquatch in 1924

Slide24

Yeren

The

Yeren

, or

wildman

, is a yet undiscovered bipedal hominid reported to reside in the mountainous and forested regions of China. The

Yeren’s

height often ranges between 6 to 9 feet and is said to be covered from head to toe in reddish brown hair. It is said to have a sloping forehead which rises up above the eyes like a humans, its eyes are set deep and its whole face, with the exception of its nose and ears, is covered in short hairs. The

Yeren’s

arms hang below its knees; its hands are about half a foot long and its thumbs only slightly separate from its fingers.

Slide25

Yeti

The Yeti

or

Abominable Snowman

("

mountain man") is an ape-like cryptid taller than an average human that is said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet

.

The names Yeti and Meh-

Teh

are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region, and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.

The scientific community generally regards the Yeti as a legend, given the lack of conclusive evidence

,

but it remains one of the most famous creatures of cryptozoology.

Slide26

Sasquatch

Bigfoot (also known as Sasquatch) is the name given to a cryptid ape- or hominid-like creature that reputedly inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid. The term sasquatch is an anglicized derivative of the

Halkomelem

word

sásq'ets

.

Most scientists discount the existence of Bigfoot and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and

hoax,rather

than a living animal, because of the lack of physical evidence and the large numbers of creatures that would be necessary to maintain a breeding

population. Scientists

Grover

Krantz

and Jeffrey Meldrum have focused research on the alleged creature for the greater parts of their careers

.
