Bestiary of the Weird

[Thanatos]

Check this movie out, and tell me what you think of it!

Weird, no?

Which ones do you think are fake?

[chris_uk_83]

I want to believe they're all real. Some certainly aren'y though. I especially like the liger with the hippy sat behind it.

[Curtana]

The fugly dog won an annual 'Ugly Dog' competition in England.
The giant rabbit was bred by an ecentric German to solve the food shortage problems in N.Korea. It never occurred to him they'd have to feed the rabbits food to make them grow before eating them. D'oh.
I tell no word of a lie.

[Thanatos]

What about the giant cat?

And the mermaids? I think those are false, however.

[Da Skinna]

A good half of them are fake, the cat in one picture is photoshopped, I've seen it explained before for the same picture.

The pig man thing is in a museum I think. Chupacabra is a myth in Central America, still some weird instances where people believe it is the perpetrator killing their animals.

And some were just ridiculous.

[Thanatos]

Demon's fake, I'm quite convinced.

[Big War Bird]

Hogzilla was a real hog that was killed Georgia in 2004. National Geographic exhumed the decomposed porker in 2005 and estimated it weighed some 800 pounds and was 8 feet long. Another hogzilla was killed in Georgia ans was reported to weigh some 1,100 pounds.

[Anarius]

The pig-man is hideous!

What the hell is it?

[Richard]

The pig man (it's intended to be female by the way) is an acclaimed sculpture about genetic engineering I believe. Plesiosaur is a shark caught off NZ. The sasquatch is De Loy's Ape. It's a shame whoever made this video elected to put real creatures (hogzilla, liger) in with so many fakes as it simply discredits the ones that actually do exist. =(

[Da Skinna]

I like the Chupacabra, nothing too much saying it does exist, nothing too much saying it doesn't. The stories around it number in the thousands, just as the deaths of animals...

[Thanatos]

I am half convinced that Chupacabras exist...

[kev-o]

Wow, that's a pretty good video. Like some of you already said some are real amd some are fake. Here is what I think:

Fake:

All the mermaids - P.T Barnum made most of those by stitching different animals together

Baby Dragon

Pig human - looks like it is a big clay model

cyclokittin- that is photoshop no doubt

Chupacabras- myth

sasqauch- that is some kind of money species

Fang Fish - photoshop

demon

monkey fish

bigfoot

REAL

moonheaded lizard looks familiar

Giant catfish

Liger

The big cats

The Fugly amimals

The "sea sepents" - actually an ancient species of shark

Hogzilla

Albino gator- seen him with my own two eyes, he is in St. Augustine Florida at the Alligator farm.

Camal spider- My math teacher's husband has been to Iraq and took pics of them to show.

[Thanatos]

No, Sasquatch is most likely a man in a suit.

The cyclokitten was real, by the way. It was in the news a half a year ago.

Now it is a link. Maybe you knew that and couldn't be bothered.
In the Himalayas I met several trustworthy locals who claimed to have seen the 'abominable snowman'. I think they really believed it because they had nothing to gain from telling me their stories. There was actually an ancient asian ape from which orang-outangs evolved. It is possible there is some kind of ape evolved from the same source living in the Himalayas– other than humans that is. We think we know everything but there could be all kinds of things living in the wilderness we know nothing about. Outside of cities the world is a big place.

[Thanatos]

Exactly. We really have no idea of what goes on in the ocean at very deep depths. But the fish we've met down there... freaky!

[infernocanuck]

I can't believe there is no platypus. That thing is friggin awesome. When a corpse of one was discovered, many leading scientists swore up and down it was a fraud. I think it's super cool. I mean, come on! It has a duck bill where there shouldn't be a duck bill!

ehh... I'm a nerd.

Yes indeed that is a very strange animal. It is a mammal that lays eggs. A MAMMAL THAT LAYS EGGS!!! That is one of the most extraordinary things ever.

[Da Skinna]

I can't remember the name for when a mammal lays eggs, but I think the platypus(?) is unique, or there's like one other mammal...

But yeah, part beaver, part duck, poisonous barbs in its webbed feet... like wtf, God?

[Curtana]

Echidnas are monotrenes just like the platypus. Amazing creatures. They secrete milk through their pores and lay eggs just like the platypus. Evolved from an early mammalian evolutionary stage.
