A taxidermist was familiar with the local legend and made a statue and planted it on the side of the road. When you zoom into the photo, one arm is even skeletal.

    6:39 as a pterosaur lover that was how they lifted. Ironically that is acutally accurate. They would use their wings in a quad jump. Azhdarchid that type of pterosaurs had actually the most efficient flying method of any creature to ever live. They launched in the air like bats which is a quad launch. They had air sacs and were covered in fuzz.

  • @theblondebloke
    @theblondebloke 3 года назад +77

    Zack,
    in that clip, the Pterosaur in it should be a Quetzalcoatlus(Azudarchidae), the largest creature to ever take flight in history, and it has been theorised that it took off by using its 4 limbs actually, by crouching, then leaping powerfully and flapping their wings for power flight.
    Some palaeobiologists believe their light frame and huge muscle mass on its limbs may have supported this method of take off instead of taxiing off a cliff.
    Just a fun fact.

Its supposed to be a giant serpent, which serves as the spirit of the lake. Some people think it could be a really big sturgeon, but I don't know if there are any sturgeon in Okanagan Lake.

    Chupacabra’s are literally just coyotes or coyotes hybrids with stray dogs that have mage and because of this they aren’t able to hunt wild food so they mostly just go after livestock, often time killing it’s prey by going for the neck to crush its throat or bleed it.

    So here's the scoop on the Skunk Ape, those photos are real. They were taken by an elderly woman in Sarasota who sent the photos to the police department with a letter saying that there was an escaped orangutan in the woods near her property. The photos were examined and proven to be authentic by multiple authorities including the FWC. I've been herping (looking for reptiles/amphibians) in the area where the pics were taken and while I've seen or heard anything, there's an occasional smell of rotten meat when you get deep into the woods. The scent is said to be a sign of the creature being in the area.
    I'm not a believer, but I will say there's something unsettling about walking in those woods.

    At 6:30, that's actually how pterosaurs took off! Large azdarchids(the type of flying reptile shown like that) actually "quad launched" from a standstill, similar to modern vampire bats. Unlike modern birds pterosaurs used all four limbs to amble about, so their wings were SUPER jacked being both leg and wing, so they basically catapulted themselves into the air using all fours and hitting a massive downstroke at the height of the jump to get themselves airborne!

      I’m pretty sure you could disprove the existence of literally all the creatures featured in this video.
      Besides, whether it’s real or not isn’t where the appeal lies with mothman and cryptid fans- I for one love the owl theory for him, but the all the stories behind the legend are so much more interesting :)

    Since no one's said this yet, mothman is named mothman due to the sound he makes, whoever heard it said he sounds like a chirping/screeching sound that moths apparently make. Plus the furry coat around it and its wings also implies the moth name. At least from my research that's why

      I think it would be more like a running start similar to something like an albatross. I doubt pterosaurs could jump up like that. You would need some horizontal speed to get lift like an airplane. And there would need to be flapping involved too until it was at a high enough altitude to glide.

      @@bleuemoone8710 They flew mainly by gliding, not by flapping their wings. By launching off like this they could use their massive wings to slowly swoop through the air, not needing to flap their wings much. While they might have tried to get a faster start off, whether through running, or more likely by launching off of a higher point, it is doubtful they could reach a fast enough speed on land to make a difference. There is also a theory that during high gusts of wind they unfurled their wings and let the wind pick them up, like Albatross do.

    I actually did a bit of an autopsy on a ‘chupacabra’ my high school science teacher brought me along with her to study a dead animal that showed a weird behavior. I was looking to go onto college in biology at the time and was about to graduate so i went with her on a bunch of field work type things like counting fish in local creeks and doing surveys of wildlife and water samples.
    It was a coyote with mange it really didn’t look much like a coyote after it lost most of its fur and teeth. It had killed some chickens on a ranchers land and drank blood from the neck the rancher shot and killed it then froze the body. We looked at it after a few days of being frozen and sent some tissue off to a lab to get identified. It confirmed that it was a coyote. The strange behavior was likely because it’s teeth had been rotten and eating was probably very painful so it opted to bite/tear off the head and suck some fluids. It was basically starved to death so even it wasn’t shot it would likely have died soon. Not a cryptid but a sick wild animal.
