Ningen Cryptid

Gef the Talking Mongoose is obviously a most unique creature. Unsatisfied by others’ renditions of him, Gef decided he must draw a self portrait. Supposedly, Gef grasped a pencil and drew this sketch of himself. It says: “Crude sketch by Gef. 17/8/35. Supposed to be of his head. J.T.I.” The initials are those of James Irving, on whose property Gef lived.

Primate matches the body type the most but really could have been another skinny and wet animal like a cat perchance? Raccoon even, depending on how much light the witness had when viewing.

Something I’ve been working on for some time. A 3D printed fully pose-able BJD-style Thylacine. I’ve got a couple for sale going live on my website at 4PM GMT 23/02/2020 and I’ll be making more in future. I anticipate these selling quickly! https://www.palaeoplushies.com/

Beebe’s Manta Ray was first reported by William Beebe nearby the Galapagos Islands on April 27th, 1923. He described the manta as having a 10 foot wingspan. Its back is a dark brown with distinctive white bands that go halfway down its back to either side of its head. The very tips of the wings are also white in color. The manta supposedly collided with Beebe’s vessel briefly before quickly retreating from it. 

Mystery’s over guys. Everyone go home.
