Cryptids

For hundreds of years reports have been made about a massive human-like beast, these beasts have been labeled according to their regions in the world. The two most popular, and perhaps most intriguing, are the yeti and the Sasquatch, more commonly known as Bigfoot. Bigfoot is the name of the supposed North American Wildman; said to be about 8 feet tall, nearly half a ton, and walk just like a human and is estimated to be able to think nearly as a human does. The Yeti is just about exactly the same as Bigfoot except it is said to live in the rhododendron thickets of the lower parts of the valley and come up the Himalayan mountain side for food. Both of these creatures have been reported since earlier time periods and have a lot of evidence pointing to their existence such as: footprints, pictures, videos, and thousands of eyewitnesses. Bigfoot is also recorded in almost every North American tribal history and the yeti is strongly believed in by the Tibetans who inhabit the Himalayan mountainside and include the yeti in their history and even consider him part of their local fauna.

The third major class of cryptids is that of creatures that do not have much in common with humans but instead with known animals, members of this class usually walk on all fours. Cryptids from this class are the more lesser known ones like the chupacabra, blue tiger, giant spiders, giant rats, giant snakes, ect. These cryptid sightings are actually more accepted by scientists than those of the other two major classes, this is because animals in this class living undetected for so long is actually more believable. Still these cryptids are every bit as mysterious as the ones from the other two classes, and they are still given equal treatment. Cryptids from this class exist all over the world and are usually known well only by certain groups of people that live in the same area as the cryptid, making them all the more mysterious.

So, you’ve read my essay, you’ve asked me questions, and you’ve seen the evidence now it’s up to you. What do you think, are these creatures real or imaginary? Are these so-called cryptids just a figment of the human mind generated by our instinctual fears passed down from our ancient ancestors, or are they more? Can these creatures actually exist, and if so can they really be all that eyewitnesses say they are? Do you think there are still mysteries left for us to solve on this earth, and can there be creatures and even primate sub-species with the ability to think like humans… can there be actually cryptids? These are things to ponder on, things to ask yourself. Just remember, humans don’t know everything……
