     The Crowing Crested Cobra or “Inkhomi” meaning “The Killer” is an alleged cryptid found in Africa. This creature is believed to be quite large and very vicious, measuring up to 20 feet long (around 6 meters). Reports of the creature go as far back as the early 1940′s when a Malawian witch doctor found skeletal pieces to a snake believed to be the crowing crested cobra due to the cockscomb found attacked to the partial skeleton. (the whereabouts of these remains are unknown)

     Oddly enough the creature is said to leap from trees to attack its unsuspecting victims which of course reminds me a lot of the Drop Bear from Australia, thought it is believed to simply be a story to scare tourists. Witnesses claim the male cobra makes a crowing sound much like a rooster while the female makes a clucking sound like a hen. The appearance is what gives the Crowing Crested Cobra its name as they are believed to have combs and wattles much like a chicken.

     From ancient cave paintings to modern day footage captured all across the globe, the “Bigfoot’s” of the world have been a source of skepticism, debate, folklore, and a breath of life in the world of Cryptozoology for thousands of years. Though the term itself (Cryptozoology) had only been coined in the mid 1900′s, stories of strange creatures, impossible monsters and fearsome beasts have been handed down from generation to generation for as long as history itself has survived.

     One of the most famous and more popular cryptids around the globe has many names, but the Yeti, Bigfoot, Sasquatch and Yeren (the list goes on) all share similar traits which could paint the picture of a possible species/sub species that may or may not roam the wild yet untouched by human civilization.

     Bigfoot as it is most commonly known or “Wild-Man” if you were describing it to a local is a hairy bipedal hominid that, both short and tall, roam the wilderness’ across the globe. Each profile of this creature paints a different picture whether it be height, hair color, foot size or even diet. Bigfoot and its equals could be the remnant of a species lost many years ago.

     The Ahool is a cryptid that reportedly lives in the Java Rainforest in Indonesia. It’s name was given to it because of the sound it makes (Ah-hool!). This creature was first reported in 1925 and has since been considered a cryptid though no substantial evidence has ever been found to support the claims.

     The descriptions of the creature vary from a large bat to a monkey with wings. It is however usually described as a large bat or owl with dark eyes and a tremendous wingspan of 3m (10 feet). It is said to have greyish fur, large claws that run down the wings and a loud scream which it was named after. 

     The Megaconda or “Giant Anaconda” is a reptile believed to exist in many parts of the world. As most of the largest anacondas reach lengths anywhere from twenty five to thirty five feet, the giant anaconda or famously “Megaconda” is believed to reach lengths of 50-60 feet.  These creatures have been spotted in South America, North America and Africa.

     The Giant Anaconda appears, by reports standards, to look identical to other Anacondas and only differs in size. A Report in 1907 tells the tale of a 62 ft (19 meter) anaconda that was shot and killed in the Amazon by European explorers. Though many suggest the accepted length of an Anaconda reaches no more than 37 ft (11 meters), there have been many reports of 50+ foot long serpents across the globe.

     The Wendigo or “Windigo” is a mythical creature that resides in the United States and Canada and is part of a traditional belief system in these areas. The name roughly means “The evil spirit that devours mankind” and usually translates to the word “Cannibal” in many tribes. This of course gives credence to the term “Wendigo Psychosis” which is a syndrome causing a craving for human flesh and is a term heavily tied to the creature.

     There are many different descriptions of the creature and many beliefs as well as to what it is exactly. Many describe the Wendigo as a monster, a gaunt twisted being who’s insatiable greed and hatred has led them astray. They are commonly associated with greed, racism, gluttony and are seen as evil, malevolent beings wandering around constantly looking for new victims.

     The Fur-Bearing Trout or “Hairy/Shaggy” trout is a fish that supposedly dwells in the waters of North America and Iceland. It gets its name from the thick fur that reportedly grows on its body. It is believed to have grown this hair due to the frigid waters it lives in. Many suggest the fish to be nothing more than folklore but some do believe in its existence.

     The Fur-Bearing Trout has been reported as far back as the late 1800′s in Iceland, being called an inedible and poisonous fish. There are many accounts of the Hairy Trout in North America as well, reports say the fish would lose its hair when pulled from the water and that possibly grew the hair due to a spillage of hair tonic in the water. Many of these stories of course are tall tales though some stories are reportedly based on real encounters.
