Have you ever wondered what Cryptids really are? Are they flesh and blood creatures, supernatural beings, misidentifications, or long-lost relatives of prehistoric creatures? The YouTube channel Dinosaurs and Mysteries explores these possibilities in their video titled "Cyptids! What are they? Flesh and blood? Supernatural? Or something else?"
The video begins by defining Cryptids as unknown animals or creatures not known to science. However, the real question is: what are they physically if they do exist? The channel presents four potential theories.
The first theory is that Cryptids are physically flesh and blood creatures that are elusive and rarely seen. Examples of such creatures include Bigfoot, Chupacabra, and the Loch Ness Monster.
The second theory is that Cryptids are supernatural beings that appear and disappear at will. This theory suggests that Cryptids may have a shape-shifting or interdimensional element, and that we may be catching a glimpse of something from a different space or time.
The third theory is that Cryptids are simply misidentifications of known animals. For instance, a bear on its hind legs may be mistaken for Bigfoot, or a strange-looking log in the Loch Ness may be described as the Loch Ness Monster.
The fourth and final theory is that Cryptids are long-lost relatives of prehistoric creatures that we think are extinct. For example, Bigfoot may be a long-lost descendant of Gigantopithecus, a giant ape from prehistoric times. Similarly, the Loch Ness Monster may be a long-lost relative of plesiosaurs or tylosaurus.
The video also explores the possibility of prehistoric creatures heavily resembling Cryptid creatures. For instance, amphicyonids, also known as bear dogs, were huge creatures that existed in prehistoric times. If one of these creatures were to be seen today, it would resemble a werewolf.
So, what do you think Cryptids are? Are they flesh and blood creatures, supernatural beings, misidentifications, or long-lost relatives of prehistoric creatures? Watch the video and let us know your thoughts in the comments. Remember, Cryptids are unknown, and that's what makes them so fascinating!
Before we conclude, here's a fun fact: the word "Cryptid" comes from the Greek word "kryptos," which means hidden or secret. So, Cryptids are essentially hidden or secret creatures that are yet to be discovered by science.
