Mythological Creatures That Are Real

Happy Halloween to everyone!

Although I've had a relatively good day today, I'm running out of steam and ready for bed.  I did, however, come across an interesting listing that goes along with my cryptid collection of blogs.

I just happened across it, but it does show that there is a lot about our world that we still don't know and/or are still learning.  The article shows many animals that we know of now that were once considered mythological in many cultures: those creatures that would be called cryptids.

Click on the link and enjoy!   Mythological creatures that are real.

I also have a small collection of pictures showing here.

Until next time, have a happy and safe Halloween!

The Platypus.  Thought of more as a hoax than anything else.  Photo from www.environment.nsw.gov.au
The Devil-bird.  An omen feared by Sri Lankans.  Photo from wereblog.com
Giant Panda - I'm surprised it was not mentioned in the article.  The first living specimen seen by a Westerner (and therefore recognized by science) was in 1916.  Photo from listverse.com
