Being from New Zealand myself, I would probably have had the Moa on here. There were/are more than one species, and occasionally people claim to have spotted one. Especially in the South-West corner of the South Island. Possibly other bird species. Two species of birds once thought extinct were rediscovered in the last 60-70 years. Most famously, the Takahe in 1948.

You're telling me that it's far more likely that there's a TEN FOOT TALL SLOTH walking around out there than there are large geckos?

Anyone who wishes to learn about Bigfoot, I would point towards William Jevning and his Creek Devil podcast. He is one of the few experts in the topic that doesn’t entertain nonsense about Bigfoot flying around in UFO’s and having powers of

The one I’d say has the best chance of being found are the Beebe’s Abyssal Fish. Considering that a lot of people don’t go down to the deep sea often, nor has it been fully explored. Who’s to say the fish William Beebe sighted aren’t still down there?

As someone who read the actual Bahamas article with the octopus, the residents didn't put much value into testing it because they knew it was an octopus. It only made the news because of the length, and it was only one severed tentacle that was recovered. It was written off as a giant octopus arm, and similar in size to the Pacific Giant. However, it was noted it was unusual since there are no octopus that grow to that length in that part of the world.

Tasmanian Tiger being in New Guina is the only one on the list I could see being found.

Thylacine almost certainly still exists on Papua New Guinea

"Animals & Men" doesnt sound like a cryptozoology magazine 😂😂😂

Green anacondas have recently been split into two species, and yes, the newly described species (Eunectes akayima) is in fact bigger than the well known green anaconda - Eunectes murinus.

I'm actually still optimistic about the Yeti, the footprints show traits consistent with primate biology and even David Attenborough was impressed by them. Loren Coleman (the GOAT) believes that the Yeti already went extinct based on the lack of new evidence, but one can hope!

This is a very well made video! Ive made a few before and know its a lot of work especailly a 15 minute one! Keep up the hard work and hopefully ill be watching your videos for years to come with thousands of other new subscribers!😀

Another fantastic video! I feel like maybe the Giant Eel and Lusca have some potential. I am a bit skeptical of both but an Octopus a little bigger than the pacific octopus and an eel a bit bigger than a Conger eel don't sound too unreasonable.

Weirdly enough, I also recently watched Penn & Tellers B.S episode on cryptozoology. I think it is good to be skeptical but I felt kinda bad at how much they mocked some of the cryptozoologists. I guess that's just their style of humour.

Anyway, love your work!

Found your channel last night and I'm really enjoying your content!

Slightly off-topic but Highland dogs, very close relatives of New Guinea singing dogs, have been re-discovered within the past 13 years. Within about the same timeframe, a thought to be extinct bird was found living quite well in Australia. Regarding eels, those are probably the most likely on this list. Even though the giant salamander more than likely doesn’t exist in New Zealand anymore, the likelihood of them existing elsewhere in the world is possible.

There's known to be gigantic freshwater eels at the bottom of crater lake

Let’s goo babyyy. Finally a Cryptid list I’m excited for haha

just subscribed a few hours ago!! love the video man!

[chadocracy]

WOAH that eye at the start was incredibly nostalgic

[readychalk]

I'm Australian and wouldn't ever dream of seeing a thylacine although I do hope we are able to clone them one day... I have however seen a black panther which isn't the first thing that comes to mind when people mention cryptids, but they are out there and there is no solid evidence but I know what I saw (and there are hundreds if not thousands of other sightings too)

[noneofyourbuisness]

Personally, I think the giant gecko is more plausible than a ground sloth. Unless we’re talking bats, rodents, or even cetaceans, mammals are perhaps the least likely new species to be discovered, especially megafauna. Meanwhile, we’re still discovering new lizards, frogs, insects, and all sorts of much smaller animals - besides, what would we consider to be ‘giant’ for a gecko? A foot long, maybe less? That’s still pretty small compared to ground sloths or even thylacines, and even more so on an island.

Granted, considering New Zealand’s less than stellar record when it comes to retaining its native species, I’d say there’s a pretty good chance that it’s extinct or critically endangered, if it existed/exists at all.

That all said, you’re spot on with Mokele mbembe. Don’t get me wrong, it would be cool as hell if it existed - like many cryptids, actually - but once you start thinking, it really doesn’t add up. Disregarding the odds a non-avian dinosaur of any kind would survive for 66 million years virtually unchanged through several, intense ice ages, who would benefit the most for finding one? Creationists, that’s who - people that believe in God and that modern humans were created and lived alongside prehistoric creatures, including dinosaurs. And guess how many of those expeditions are funded by Creationists? Most, if not virtually all of them. They’re the only ones seriously looking for it in a desperate attempt to prove their belief than out of any scientific discovery.
