The Canadian Alligator: On October 10th of 1900, a naturalist named George Goudereau, saw a 12 foot long alligator-type creature crawl out of Lake Kootenay Bay, where it rooted around in a nearby garbage dump before slithering back into the water. This report joins a whole slew of unknown cold-adapted crocodilians, which were reported in the early 1900s. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #cryptozoology #displacedanimals #inasivespecies #unsolvedmysteries #fortean #xfiles

The Mystery Lions of Arkansas: On September 20th of 2002, 4 adult Lions, of mysterious species and origin, were shot in forests of Quitman, Arkansas. They reportedly had full lions manes, with thich dark brown fur. The public was outraged, assuming that these lions had escaped from the collection of an owner of exotic animals, or zoo... but the investigating officer, Sheriff Dudley Lemon publicly afirmed that he had traced every known large cat in the state, and none were found to be missing. The cats were not released for further scientific examination, and the story was dropped in the media. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #mysterycats #displacedanimals #inasivespecies #environmentaldistasters #ecology #blacklions #cryptozoology #unknownanimals #fortean #xfiles

The Devil Monkey of Danville: On August 9th of 2001, a search party was formed in Danville, New Hampshire. The target of the search was a "giant" primate that had been witnessed by the good people of Dansville on numerous occasions. However, photos revealed it to be a Humboldt's Wooly Monkey that had somehow escaped from captivity. Dispite an extensive search, the displaced monkey was never found. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #displacedanimals #inasivespecies #cryptozoology #devilmonkey #fortean #xfiles

The Tasmanian Tiger: On September 7th of 1936, the last Thylacine (a rare dog-headed marsupial, with a kangaroo-like pouch) died in captivity in the Hobart Zoo, in Australia. The Tasmanian Tigers were driven into extinction by over zealous ranchers, who saw them as a nuisance animal. As a result of this forced extinction, hopeful sightings of the creature persisted straight through to today, but emerging advances in cloning technology may still give these amazing animals another shot at survival. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #cryptozoology #endangeredspecies #tasmaniantigers #marsupials #thylacine #cloning #undisclosedtechnology #futurescience #environmentaldistasters #displacedanimals #fortean #xfiles

The Drunken Monkey Murder: On August 15th of 2013, the dead body of a monkey exhibiting showman was discovered in an alleyway in New Delhi. His head had been smashed in with a rock during a brawl in a bar. His murderer had been giving one of his chimps alcohol and a fight broke out when he warned that liquor made his monkey mean... the fight resulted in a brick to the showman's head. When police arrested the killer he tried to blame the murder on the hungover monkey, but witnesses came to the innocent chimps defense and police arrested the true killer. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #strangehistory #truecrime #criminaljustice #drunkenmonkey #displacedanimals #animalrights #extremedeaths #fortean #xfiles

Chupacobra Caught On Dash-cam: On August 13th of 2008, footage from a deputy Sheriff's patrol car hit the media. It was taken near Cuero, Texas where numerous reports of livestock being attacked by mysterious bloodsucking predators had been a problem. At first the deputy had assumed that the animal in front of his car was a coyote... but then it turned it's head, and displayed as profile with an elongated snout, which lead many to speculate that it was the legendary Chupacobra. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #cryptozoology #chupacobra #coyote #displacedanimals #inasivespecies #criticalthinking #rationalthought #skepticism #fortean #xfiles
