9 Famous European CRYPTIDS Explained

- From the mysterious Wolpertinger beast, to the most famous creature of them all, the loch ness monster, these are 9 FAMOUS European CRYPTIDS Explained !
Beast of Bodmin -- This is a phantom wildcat that supposedly lives on Cornwall, England … specifically, Bodmin Moor. Alleged panther-like cats were thought to be the cause of mutilated and slain livestock in the area. Other, more exotic theories involve big cats that may have been imported as part of zoos or private collections, but later managed to escape or were set free. Interestingly, a less than a week after an official investigation in 1995 concluded no verifiable evidence of big cats running wild in Britain
Loch Ness Monster -- One could argue that Nessie is THE most famous European cryptid, so that’s more than enough to earn her a spot on our list. Sightings of a serpent-like sea monster have been recorded as far back as the 7th century, but the monster didn’t become a pop culture icon until the 1930s. Countless teams of scientists and researchers have investigated the lake, in search of the creature … but if she’s down there, Nessie knows some good hiding places. A popular theory involves Nessie being a plesiosaur (pless-ee-o-sore) that somehow managed to survive in Loch Ness … those creatures measured up to 49 feet and were known for their long necks … sound familiar? They vanished some 66 million years ago … or did they?
Vampires -- The undead feed on the blood of the living to prevent its body from decomposing … and apparently give them lots of cool powers like mind control, super strength, and turning into bats and flying away. Of course the downside is, that vampires sleep during the day, and have nasty allergic reactions to wood, garlic, silver, and holy water among other things.
The term vampire wasn’t popularized in the west until early in the 18th century. But legends of the creatures abounded in areas like the Balkans and eastern Europe. And there are theories suggesting that vampire mythology originated in ancient Egypt, where they may have been demons summoned into this world from another. Bram Stoker’s Dracula published in 1897 likely provided the model for the modern-day interpretation of vampire legends. Stoker actually based Dracula on the story of Vlad Tepes (tepesh), also known as Vlad Dracula. The 15th century Romanian prince gained such a reputation for cruelty to his enemies that he was later known as Vlad the Impaler, since he employed that practice so often. Vlad was dead by 1477 killed in battle, according to various sources. But Dracula and vampires live on (more or less) to this day -- or night.
The Wolpertinger (will-per-tin-jer) -- This mythological hybrid is found in German folklore, supposedly inhabiting the alpine forests of Bavaria. Talk about a mash up of animal parts … this creature is said to have a rabbit’s head, a squirrel’s body, wings, the antlers of a deer, and the legs of a pheasant … but only some accounts include that last feature. There are other creatures from German folklore that that resemble the Wolpertinger, like the Elwedritsche (el-wid-dritch), which is said to be a chicken-like animal with antlers. The mythical creature also resembles the equally mythic American Jackalope, which is said to be a jackrabbit with antelope horns. Did you know that stuffed animal version of Wolpertingers are sold to tourists as souvenirs … and The German Hunting & Fishing Museum in Munich maintains a permanent display of the creature. Das ist wahr! (dass-ist-var; it’s true)
1934 fake photo
The Tatzelwurm (tat-ZELL-worm) -- -- It’s also known as the Alps Dragon, and has been reported for hundreds of years throughout several areas of Europe including Germany, Switzerland, Italy and other locations in the European Alps. The creature is said to have a scaly, snakelike body, up to 7 feet long, with clawed front legs, and a large catlike head with sharp teeth . The first documented sighting occurred in 1779 by a man who supposedly encountered two of the creatures, and died from a fatal heart attack. Additional sightings were claimed throughout the 19th century, and into the 20th century. 1934 a Swiss photographer claimed to have photographed the creature … but the photo was thought to be a fake. Over the decades, reports of the animal would surface occasionally … In 2009, several sightings of bipedal reptiles were reported in Tresivio, an Italian region near the Swiss border. Descriptions varied from the creature appearing like a ‘kangaroo with scales’ to a vivid account from a research assistant. She claimed see an ‘agile bipedal lizard’ running near her that measured around 6.5 feet tall, and resembled a “prehistoric velociraptor.” Have any theories?

jackalope rabbits horns are actually some kind of parasite the poor rabbi gets while out in the woods.
What about all of the mythical creatures in Iceland? People have sighted strange things since the first vikings settled here in 874.
a zoo owner and a circus owner have both admitted recently that they released pumas on bodmin moor in the 70s and 80s. explained.
Cryptids always fascinate me, maybe do pretty much the same kind of episode next week but on a different continent like South America :-)
YES! CRYPTIDES!!!!!!!!!!
I mistook the word title. I thought you were gonna debunk them
Concerning the Wolpertinger: no one believes it exists. It is an old yarn spun to tourists, especially from Prussia (i.e. Northern Germany). They exist exclusively in the stuffed version. Every Bavarian claims the Wolpertinger exists, but nobody believes it. They are said to prefer chamois eggs for food, and occasionally cheeky virgins. (vorlaute Jungfrauen). No need for debunking!
The Jackalope or Wolpertinger must have been a way to make sense of the Shope papilloma virus. This virus creates horn and antlerlike tumors to grow on different parts of the body of the rabbit . This virus is also be attracted by dogs, deer an other animals. There also is a humane form of the virus...
One of the best channels out there 👌
The skvader is legendary, A hare with a tjäder's wings, Swedish folklore
that wolpertinger is also featured in world of warcraft......but only during brewfest.
there is an event-related quest in wich these little buggers figure prominently (y'gotta catch 'em)
#2 Did you also know that rabbits can develop ' antlers' if exposed to the Shope papilloma virus (SPV) , a lepus form of warts.
Every time I have visited my dad's side of the Family in Ireland; I have never seen the Irish Crocodile. Last time I visited family members from my mothers side in Germany, I swear I did see Wolpertinger. Although, it might have been the Liquid drink I had for lunch.
I CANT FIND ANY WOLPERTINGERS CAUGHT ON TAPE VIDEOS. =,(
I have a theory about the "velociraptor" : its fake. Real velociraptors and their close relatives were covered head to toe in feathers
Chase B yes yes yes yes finaley
So where exactly are any of them explained?
WOLPERTINGER
WOLPERTINGERS ARE SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They really exist
Really love you videos
You mention Vampires, but not Werewolves?! I see how it is, you vile bats! #teamJacob (Jk I never liked Twilight)
What about the basilisc legend in middle europe
Whoot! Wolpertinger!
Shouldnt be the Werwolf on this list ? ;)
Wolpertinger!
Wolpertinger!
Wolpertinger!
Wolpertinger!
Wolpertinger ftw! :D Btw, I´m part German. Cool that you said "Das ist wahr.". :)
For some weird reason, everyone who is talking about germany or german things they have to say a german sentence XD 😂
Most germans like me know Wolpertinger only from (feels wrong? by? dunno, tell me :D) Red Dead Redemption :D
Btw, we don't know things like Christmas Pickle :D
btw, well pronunced :)
+Random
Ich kenne es von einem Minecraft mod XD
I would have thought it might have been from a drawing by Albrecht Dürer - at that is where I first encountered it (without it being named ... I only made the name connection with the World of Warcraft beer-fest seasonal events
I like art but did'n knew him.
But isn't the Wolperinger painting a Rabbit and someone added the extra Parts?
Wiki says "frei nach Albrecht Dürer". i can't translate but afaik this means its not exactly quoted. :)
i never heard of number 2. it actually looks like a flying jackaloop and its kinda cute
Explained ?
I've seen Jackalopes before. And so has a lot of people in the area. East Bay area, around Antioch / Pittsburg area are the only places i've seen them. In the dirt landscapes usually by shrubs, not directly in them.
The Wolpertinger is not a cryptid. It's a local legend. We don't believe it's a real animal that actually lives out there. It's a fun little fairy tale, treated similar to the Easter Bunny or Santa Clause.
Accounts published in the local newspaper at the time make it plain that the Canvey Island "monsters" were indeed anglerfish - and that there was never any doubt or confusion about their true identity.
next do a video on Asia and Africa's cryitids
Make top 10 Canadian cryptids
Wolpertinger is a deceive of Bavarian, Swiss and Austrian, to make fun of Tourists from Northern Germany. But a very nice PET ;ob
Can WOLPERTINGERS live in usa?
Nessie is actually a tin model submarine, with gray painted plastic wood as the head and neck
that was just one famous picture that was believed for years before a friend of the photos taker debunked it right before he died
6:34 When animals gonna have sex and a triangle ain't good enough.
the number one from last weeks vid anyone have the url
The alleged 7th century report of the Loch Ness monster not only refers to the river ness and not loch ness, but the monster in question was never described in the short account (plus the saint in question met monsters several times) and the depictions show a rather mammalian monster, nothing even remotely reptilian.
4:33 wtf that is edit...that not real....WTF
lizards look no where near a velocirapter especially considering the fact that velocirapters have feathers
all flying dinos are related to birds while the none flying ones are related to lizards
+inkyu basu actually they're all related to birds, the flying and swimming ones are more related to reptiles
Those flying and swimming ones aren't even dino's
+Roan van Tilburg hay I finally find someone who knows that flying and swimming reptiles are reptiles and not dinosaurs
Also, the velociraptor was short as fuck.
Number nine is proof Harambe lives on.
an agile bipido lizard that asimbles a prehistoric valosoraptor lol thats a freaking troodon
You didn't explain the grey man right at all. It's the climbers own shadow distorted by the low sun and the mist. The persons shadow falls on the mist or clouds and the perspective is warped making it appear further away its foot steps are said to be rocks cracking caused by the sudden temperature drop caused by the mist or cloud cover cooling them.
he should do 10 creepypasta monsters
Why? The channel is called "Epic Wildlife." Go somewhere else for that kind of list.
how about one based on caribbean cryptids
Tropical storm hermine
If you’re a American tourist and you spot a person walking out of the forest. With a giant mask to protect themselves from sunlight. Run away. That’s a African Vampire...
you gotta start putting don't watch this at night warnings on these vids
Im irish but not once have i ever heard of the irish croc
That first one is probably bigfoot
Your presentation is still better than crypto queen
The wolpertinger is a jokingly creature. Like the Hanghunh wich are chickens with a long and a short leg that live on a mountain side. It is said when they are breeding, the rooster has to run around the whole mountain to do buissness 😂
Yet-eye 😂😂😂
Tiger skin rug.
Yeti, (yet-ee)

The final one could NOT resemble velociraptor AT ALL. Velociraptor was feathered, about the size of a fox, and would rarely separate itself from it's pack. It would most likely resemble a two-legged lizard or some shaved escaped kangaroo or a pretty good costume with a man in it.
its an owl riding a basking shark
potatobro 1000 i get the reference trey
Your discription of the wolpertinger is off. It isn't in Bavaria. It's in Bavarian. Bavaria is beer.
First coment and like
Sea monks are from Japanese mythology

It's pronounced "duraghoo" or "durragow" ("water hound"). It's Old Gaelic, not English.

6.5 ft. tall "velociraptor." Now I *know* that "tatzelwurm" fucker ain't real. Velociraptors measured to about 1.6 ft. tall.
Holden Caulfield its a barn owl
.
the owlman was a better European cryprid
I'm irsh
whats a cryiptid?
A cryptid is an animal whose existence cryptozoologists believe has been suggested but has not been discovered or documented by the scientific community or by direct evidence.
you see, its an animal that May Exist, but no proof of it being real or not. like bigfoot. or wolpertingers.
Ist hier auch jemand Deutscher?
Your*
Do English creatures pla
i believe in cryptids ??
Teri Needler! No No,sorry u r wrong the woolpertinger is real not a parasite! I'm from Idaho near Jackson Hole Wyoming where the curio shops sell stuffed jack rabbits with real antlers mounted on them by various taxidermist to the tourists,it's actually it's hilarious the tourists from all over the world think they are real the curio shops are making a killing,and we get a real laugh so everyone wins!
prehistoric velociraptor dont look like lizards. please, theropods are not lizards! stop classifying dinosaurs as lizard and crocs
dinosaur means terrifying lizard an Latin.
+ShiftyDog but birds are reptiles because they are dinosaurs. dinosaurs are related to lizards but not lizard themselves. its just a name
+ShiftyDog well they are doing a *terrible* job at being lizard
