I love how Forrest is more open to the idea of freaking dragons than big monke.
We see 300-400 pound gorillas that are six feet tall, in captivity , walk on two legs all the time. Sometimes for several minutes at a time.
@@sasquatchrosefarts yep, sky blue, grass green, anything else?
@@sasquatchrosefarts I mean we had the Gigantopithecus that went extinct 100k years ago, they were around when humans we're around so stories of them being passed down isn't impossible.
Your theory about the Himalayan brown bears is cool, but I find the Yeti cooler.
I have indeed also found Yeti Coolers, often times near fishermen or frat boys attempting to keep their beer cold.
🤣 yes
Sir david attenborough talked abput the Yeti saying that no one goes 4 killometers above sea level just to fake a prank, I love this, Because it is more animal than monster!
@@andresparra114 I'd agree with him, except I think if you're a Sherpa leading a bunch of foreigners around up there, you'd totally prank them. I would.
@@user-ef4gf7rr9r Hell yeah, But why would you shepard your sheep 4 Kilometers with finner air and no grass?
We all owe retep one for the pen save
Everyone take a swig every time retep comes in clutch
What you said about the Mongolian death worm reminds me of what I was told as a kid about harvestmen or "daddy long legs". I read as a kid that they were arachnids, but not spiders, and carried no venom. But, they're commonly thought to be either "the world's deadliest spider" or "the world's deadliest spider that can't bite you". This myth is so common that I actually got told off by an old camp counselor in front of my whole class back in middle school for citing the truth. It's almost too widely accepted to argue against.
that’s funny, i heard that same thing as a kid.... that they are highly venomous but don’t have fangs to bite with... i grew up in Cali
I had an argument with a culinary teacher that a microwave does not heat from the inside out. Big mistake I’m not even sure what I believe anymore lol
@@ultimatebailer oh nooo hahaha, I suppose it sort of heats anywhere the beams cross which could be the inside or the outside.
@@augustgremaud2738 Microwaves heat from the outside in.
You can actually test this with certain foods that are big enough. The outside can be hot while the middle is still cold.
@@horse14t aka hot pockets
Fam I love the daily vids, but the endings on every single one of them is the best haha. The mix of awkwardness/not knowing who's gonna end it kills me every bloody time. keeps it up lads, we are all loving it!
Keep em coming! These are very interesting. I like to hear Forest’s theories!
"Johnny Quest" animated show/cartoon on Saturday mornings from the 60's was my introduction to the Yeti!! I also remember the huge Sumo Wrestler walking his two Komodo Dragons on leashes like big attack dogs... SCARY stuff for a kid!! They were sooo real looking (for a cartoon...lol).
😂 I miss those days 💯🔥. I know you seen the episode with the fish man attacking the ship too 😂.
Everyone. What if an artist got the description from a person who saw the chupacabra heard “stripes on top” and drew them ON TOP. The person probably meant stripes on the upper half of the body or “top of the body” 👀👀
Lol, that seems believable
Can't believe Puerto Rico made a segment on the podcast. I live in the west of the island and no only licestock but also chickens were victims to these attacks.
Chickens are livestock. Livestock is a broad catch-all term for any kind of barnyard or domesticated animal raised in a herd or flock.
@@lucasottens8506 I like to think they come from the timeline where instead of cats we had chickens
I think Forest is obsessed with the Thylacine because he feels like it was the one that got away.
I believe it’s out there, but I’m way way less sure that it’s a chupacabra.
I would love to see yall cover the Mokele Mbembe! Its somewhat plausible since crocodilians survived and also the congo river basin is such a large unexplored and uninhabited area.
It’s completely implausible, Sasquatch does have a lot of supporting evidence however
It is a literal dinosaur. There is zero chance.
@@SawyerFoolswhat evidence?
Trey the explainer has a wonderful video on that topic, check him out 👍
@@Hawkeye83627 Mokele Mbembe could be a real creature without being a dinosaur. White people just think it's a dinosaur.
I dint know u had a pod. Love it I’m subbed
You should talk about the Beast of Gevaudan in the next part.
I would really looove to hear your opinion about the sabretooth cat from Tchad. It is definitely one of the most plausible of the cryptids to actually be real. Considering just how big of an area it is in question, very, very very little population, incredibly hard terrain, and numerous local eyewitnesses which are all incredibly consistent with their description, plus they don't really have any contact with the outside world, really makes me think that there might be a small population of some macahirodontinae species.
Hey do you know what I could search up to learn more about this? It sounds interesting as hell.
They're interdimentional alien pets!!
Excellent content as always
I really enjoy these short and concise videos.
The guy who found the "death worm" probably died of dehydration a few moments after touching the snake so they just blamed it on the last unknown species they seen.
The autopsy file says it wasn't dehydration
@@sharmgidly3497 There was no autopsy for Derek.😁
Keep em coming guys :D
Yep every single person for hundreds if not thousands of years have all misidentified the Yeti because every single sighting was during a blizzard.
"Its chody" word forever saved lol. Love this segment keep it goin. 🤙🏾
Underrated podcast needs more viewers
How does this channel not have over a million subscribers...
Edit: Its interesting how much you have to look for wild times content
Try doing a thylacine episode on Extinct or Alive in Puerto Rico once the COVID restrictions are lifted. I bet everyone would watch it.
Yup I'm Puerto Rican and I'd love it. I would also love to cooperate and take them places where these attacks have happened. Cause its not only livestock bug also chickens.
But still the ship theory doesn't apply for Puerto Rico because the ship ran aground in the US.
I’m confused thylacine was an Australian animal why would he look for it in Puerto Rico?
Nvm lol I didn’t watch far enough.. that would be crazy if it’s true
Why do you still have restrictions? Stand up and fight
The brown bear hypothesis pretty much is it. It was proposed and argued for very throughly by Reinhold Messner in the 80s. Messner states that the sherpa word Yeti actually refers to a bear. His hypothesis has been corroborated by Bryan Sykes's DNA analyses of supposed Yeti hair. Also interesting in this regard is Daniel C. Taylor's discussion of the famous Shipton footprint (also discussed by Messner previously) and his findings that the famous photograph shows the only print in the series that looks human. The other ones, you guessed it, are clearly bear tracks, according to Taylor. One of the reasons why the hype got so big might have been because of the funding that was connected to it: talks of a giant snow man brought in money for expeditions of the himalaya. So mountaineers kept on talking about seeing it. (I do not recall who it of the three mentioned authors it was who could actually cite a famous mountaineer admitting that.)
i love how of most of the cryptids, the chupacabra is just so.. normal
like, of course theres the scary monster exaggerations, but it really just sounds like what was theorized in the video or just, a mangy dog that ate some sheep
Well truth be told, that redition of the mutt is a more modern take on the actual lore of the chupacabra. To be accurate, the lore started in Puerto rico and was never described as a mutt or any form of a canine animal. It was actually detailed to be a reptilian creature with large wings and red eyes and claws and there are and were many accounts of this being the case for the longest time and kinda still is.
There really are two different cryptids called the "chupacabra" - the classic Puerto Rican one and the newer "Texas Chupacabra" - the Texas one are essentially just mangey dogs and coyotes, and are pretty much solved. The original Puerto Rican cryptid though, was more like a bipedal monkey/alien thing, that was green with giant red eyes, spikes going down its back and sometimes had wings. It's way cooler than the stupid Texas dog type.
Love your podcast
Backing up the idea of the escaped thylacine, the reason why the livestock would have tooth like wounds is because the thylacine had a weak jaw and by the time they could push their teeth in the animal, it had already run away. The reason why the wounds would be on the neck is very obvious since its the weakest part of the body beside the underbelly. So I 100% agree with your theory of the whole thylacine and chupacabra thing going on.
Would be awesome if forrest came to the UK to see if he could confirm the big cat population. I witnessed a cougar from a short distance for at least a minute, there are hundreds of other recorded sightings. Just need you to come and prove their existence.
Which part of the uk was your sighting ?
We dont. Move on
@@ljs185 idk his but most of the sightings are southeastern UK countryside where there’s not a lot of people so it’s definitely possible. Some say London but I find it hard to believe they’ve gone undetected in London 😭
@@ljs185that’s what I want to know
Theres some mexicam vampire our there laughing he like "hahaaaa look at these fools.i just drank that shit"
Where would we be without forest,keep keeping on brother💯
Awesome job, maybe mention/bringing up the African Sabertooth. That would be pretty cool
That Mongolian death worm is used in the UK to go fishing we call it ragworm it's about 3 inches long though 😂
Thank you so much for the inspiration 🤘✍️✏️🎨
I want to hear your theories on some of the crazier shit that’s been seen, like the diver demon or the many African pterosaur cryptids
Great info!
Considering 3 and a half feet worms exist, a 2 foot long poison worm may exist
I didn't know about the bears in the Himalayas but I knew that what Forrest was gonna say
Forrests theory on the thylacine/chupacabra thing is really cool but if the boat crashed in the US what explains the reports on puerto rico
Wondering the same thing. I live in the west of the island and its not only cattle or sheep and goats but also chickens are victims of these attacks. We've started to think its monkeys cause we have a healthy population of rhesus macaques.
Yeah, it's a cool theory but another problem is too the oldest sightings of the Chupacabra are in the 1990s where as the Thylacine was last seen in the 1930s. Huge time gap. One would think the Chupacabra sightings would have started much earlier if connected with the boat crash.
@@Sly14000 yes exactly, but if the events were much closer it still doesn't explain the chupacabra in Puerto Rico cause the crash was WAY too far away. Like I said, I live in the island and my money is on the rhesus macaques that roam the island, although I'm not an expert on monkey behaviour.
@@AlexisVega-xi5yq Yes, completely agree. I was just explaining another hole in the theory.
Hey guys great pod i really enjoy this little bit you do once in a while. It would be interesting to know about that necklace that forrest wears in the extinct or alive episodes. much love from Namibia
*describes crazy cryptoid monster*
Everyone: ...
Forrest: oh yeah that's just certain type of bear
😂
If the chupacabra turns out to be a small population of thylacine running around Puerto Rico it would be an amazing discovery.
I saw a documentary of that worm...it showed the while thing pics also.. Tremors ...great info on them ...
Good vid !👍🏽
keep em coming
The theory about the Thylacine chupacabra sounds fun, but the first sighting of the chupacabra occured in 1995 in Puerto Rico. It seems unlikely that they would have survived on the island for 60+ years before anyone noticed them.
Besides, the woman who first sighted the chupacabra basically described a monster from a movie she had recently seen. So her description might have very little resemblance to whatever it was she really saw. If she saw anything that is.
This is almost exactly what I was gonna say. Not to mention, the first reports of the chupacabra described it as more like a little reptilian-like alien-looking thing that stood on 2 legs, with red eyes, fangs, long claws, "spikey" spines going down its back, standing 3-4ft tall and would jump/fly very quickly.... At least thats what I remember from a 1995 report on Primer Impacto, lol. Then reports of these mangy-looking canines from mainland US start popping up as chupacabras, whatevers..... Also, I think the Mongolian Death Worm was supposed to shoot lazers or lightning or some shit out the tip of its you know what!
@@badbaddolemike primer impacto lol
@@AZOMBIERYO Lol, Im serious! I dont even speak Spanish too well, but we used to watch it, because those reporters were FINE AF!!!... And also, so Walter Mercado could tell us what was gonna happen that week, lol!
I've heard that theory, that she had recently seen "Species" etc. - but really what she described didn't look that much like the creature in the movie at all. Also, There really are two different cryptids called the "chupacabra" - the classic Puerto Rican one and the newer "Texas Chupacabra" - the Texas one are essentially just mangey dogs and coyotes, and are pretty much solved. The original Puerto Rican cryptid though, was more like a bipedal monkey/alien thing, that was green with giant red eyes, spikes going down its back and sometimes had wings. It's way cooler than the stupid Texas dog type.
About 20 years before the Chupa reports, a there used to be reports of similar creature called a "phantom kangaroo". Those reports date back to the 1870's
I'm Mongolian death worm looks like a Bobbit worm that lives at the bottom of the ocean.... maybe there was a species that evolved and adapted to live in the desert LOL
When I was a little kid I brought home rock boas to my mom thinking I found big worms. You can guess how that went.
Did you like, not know what a snake was?
Problem with that theory on chubacabra is thylacines in there native countries didn't kill in the manor where they where drained of blood and not the same vampire like wounds either for drinking blood
If you're going to put up a video labeled "Part 2," ALWAYS put a link in the description to part 1!
Really liked it good fun
Thanks!
If one breeding pair of Thylacines survived and they breed. Then all they’re children had to inbred after a few generations you might get a creature that looks like Chupacabra descriptions.
On the Yeti, a few thoughts. Claimed altitude of habitation, don't know where 20,000ft came from but I suspect any large animal in the Himalayas would probably live largely in the large forrested areas at lower altitudes and may venture higher now and then, maybe when traveling.
Footprints, heaps of pics online, no human footprint.
Bears - that old one. A bear walking upright is awkward and doesn't do it for long. Totally different from a large upright primate when walking - Yetis/Yowies/Sasquatch are all reportedly so fluid when walking some say they look like they're floating.
Whats interesting, is that an Archaic Species of humans, our cousins the Denisovan, were native to and evolved in that area, and one of their genes was higher hemoglobin concentration, which means the blood could carry more oxygen, and thus survive at significantly higher altitudes than Homo Sapiens can(this gene was passed into Tibetans). Even more interestingly, genetic studies show that Homosapiens and Denisovan inter bred as recently as 15,000 years ago, which isn't very long ago. I always found the idea that the Yeti could be an elusive tribe of these Archaic humans.
But its most likley a bear as forrest said.
If they have an injured front paw they can walk for quite a while
@@kidddogbites that is interesting however it doesn't account for the significant size difference. I don't think the bear theory holds water when considered critically.
@@blickluke sure, but that walk will still be awkward and appear very different to something that was designed to be upright.
Totally agree. The Yeti don't live up on the peaks of these mountains, they traverse the higher parts while moving from valley to valley. They're just easier to spot on the sparse peaks than they are among the rocks and caves in the valleys.
Well done fellas
I don't know about the abonable snow man but there are few living in the river bottoms of blue river near Atoka County Oklahoma
Dogmen, sasquatch, rougarou, it's all stories, great episode
Keep your head in the sand. Not all those people are lying
Wow Forrest’s boat bound for Brooklyn theory about the chupacabra is super interesting. With the Yeti, the Himalayan Brown Bear theory makes a lot of sense, but I do remember watching a documentary about the Yeti where the researchers found a DNA sample taken from a water hole high in the mountains and it turned out to be...almost human, like one genome off or something. This makes me think feral humans, or maybe a small population of ancient people living high in those ancient mountains who don’t want any contact with other people so they use scare tactics to keep people away. Maybe they are even so old they are more closely related to Neanderthals or Denisovans 🤷🏻♂️
That human thing, if true, would have been making international headlines.
I have watched a video of Sir David Attenborough describing large human like bare foot prints at high altitudes in the Himalayas. His opinion is that there is a large wild primate that lives there. I believe absolutely everything that he says , he's like the world's wise grandad when it comes to nature.
This story about yeti DNA youre saying is 100% bullshit
There is around 3 cases where DNA was tested and came back as unknown primate when sent to more professional labs they "disappear". Dermal ridges don't melt steel beams.
That's the thing, with DNA samples we can not determine what it is, only what it's similar to. So xx% human,xx% unknown. A chimp is 97% human or the other way around, so it is interesting but not that specific. I know they existvtho, the amount of eye witnesses is just mindblowing . And then there's Patty 😁
The Tasmanian tiger's mouth when opened always made me think hippo especially from the profile position
The yeti would probably be the dopest animal to ever exist if it was real
I’ve seen a jagurundi in the swamps of Louisiana
I’ve also heard multiple chupacabra reports in Louisiana
I agree with Forrest, bear noises sound quite similar to bigfoot noises
With the abominable snowman I can guarantee that parents told their kids, "don't climb that mountain or the yeti will get you" and nobody climbed the mountains, and the parents never told their children they were lying so they went on to believe it forever
Thanks
I could’ve sworn a couple years back they discovered a worm in the desert that is actually what the book entails
As to the yeti, the possibility is far more likely than you admit. Almost all indigenous populations have legends of a similar animal to the yeti. Russian alma, Chinese yarin, American sasquatch/bigfoot, vietnamese rock apes, Spanish conquests down in Argentina spoke of tall hairy tribes. Australian towie.
The brown bear thing blew my mind I think y’all busted that myth
You should do an episode on the Australian drop bear. it's extremely savage and it kills at least 25 to 30 people a yr
Quick google search says its a hoax and all the Australians are in on it lmao
Idk if ya'll will see this comment but...have any of you ever listened or watched Les Stroud, AKA "Survivorman", talk about Bigfoot? He has some amazing theories and what some people consider to be proof that Bigfoot exists. It would be cool if you guys could get him on to talk about it. After all i'm not sure you could find any other person out there who has credibility and has also spent as much as time as Les has spent in the wilderness.
There is no proof. Proof is verifiable, meaning everyone independently comes to the same conclusion after objectively examining it. Proof is beyond any reasonable doubt.
Les Stroud changed a lot in regards to this topic. His healthy skepticism has noticeably faded away over the years. He turned from an investigator into a believer, assuming his skepticism in the original series wasn't enforced by the production company in the first place. When he started the podcast series, though, I couldn't bear it any longer. If there are any new theories, I haven't heard about them, probably - but to me, he lost all credibility (concerning the Bigfoot question) some time ago.
Xoloitzcuintle (hairless Mexican dog breed thousands of years old) in my opinion IS The Chupacabra… my friend has one and as a joke when I’ve walked him I tell people he’s a full blooded Chupacabra…. Some laugh… some 100% just accept it’s a Chupacabra lol… but I mean this dog def resembles descriptions of a lot of Chupacabra sighting’s…. Also this dog is FROM area Chupacabra is “from”… look up a pic of one
There really are two different cryptids called the "chupacabra" - the classic Puerto Rican one and the newer "Texas Chupacabra" - the Texas one are essentially just mangey dogs and coyotes, and are pretty much solved. The original Puerto Rican cryptid though, was more like a bipedal monkey/alien thing, that was green with giant red eyes, spikes going down its back and sometimes had wings. It's way cooler than the stupid Texas dog type.
The thylosine theory is interesting, but if you see footage of one opening its mouth to that crazy degree and all those teeth, you would have to ask yourself how they made just two little holes to drain the blood! I agree with Forrest on the mange. We had the mange run its course on the local coyote population and most pics of supposed chupocabbras were mangey coyotes!
But like he said they were known as goat suckers back in Tasmania and left similar marks
Why did part 2 not even get 100k views?
The Mongolian deathworm could also be some type of giant centipede which ae venomous
The chupacabra story is awesome
Paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews was informed of the olgoi-khorkhoi’s existence by the Mongolian Premier, and went on to hear much about it. Usually people had not seen one themselves, but knew others who had, and every time they went to a play where the olgoi-khorkhoi was said to be abundant, the inhabitants told them the creature could be found a few miles away. The scientist was optimistic about his chances of capturing one thanks to the neutralizing powers of dark glasses and steel forceps. No specimen was ever seen or captured, however.
The existence of the olgoi-khorkhoi was popularized by Andrews and fellow paleontologist and science-fiction author I. A. Efremov, and much has been posited since about its appearance, habits, and true nature.
However, the real identity of the olgoi-khorkhoi is far more prosaic: it is the Tartar sand boa, a desert-dwelling, nonvenomous snake. This was confirmed by Gorelov, who showed a specimen of the boa to people in the Gobi. They asserted that it was indeed an olgoi-khorkhoi and that they were afraid of it. Gorelov also reported an individual olgoi-khorkhoi preserved in a jar and exhibited in Dalaanzadgad Town during a holiday.
hes dead on about the Sand Boa
The Yeti would have to live lower in the mountains where the food is
People who live there will know there are brown bears in the himalayas and they will know what they look like
@jopo Mongolian Death Worm might be the most metal band name ever 🤘
I didn't know Florida and Texas had Himalayan brown bears. Right on 😎
I think mothman is a hybrid species of owl that grows to large sizes due to a bad combination of growth genes leading to occasional giant animals similar to a liger.
Not a bad idea
I'd be curious to hear Forrest's take on the Mokele-mbembe, as goofy as it is
I believe he talks about it on a joe rogan episode
Yaa but the Mongolian Deathworm also said to shoot lighting .
Retep you are the best for the pen toss
I do believe the chupacabra story was those escaped thylacine
Chupacabra in the streets, Bigfoot in the sheets
“what that mouth do baby “
15:41
Forrest is awesome.
Could the yeti be some relative of the Gigantopithecus?
Non science debunking non science. That’s grand.
I feel like the chupacabra is a maned wolf,because well the cupacabra has weird spike quill things and the maned wolf has a mane so….
Nice
Love Forrest. Always uses common sense allied with facts. How he managed to stuff up about leopards being bigger than jaguars on Joe Rogan I’ll never know.
He hosts science fiction tv shows
@@thedude8046 And helped rediscover at least 2 (maybe 3 or 4) previously thought extinct species of animal.
Helping 2 scientists capture one that was last seen over 100 years ago. Not many scifi actors/buffs have that on their resume.
@@davehill5764 yeah but it was just some small lizard or something.
I've been looking for articles about a boat crash with animals for the bronx zoo but cannot find anything...They had a few thylacines but most died in a few days or months... My research skills are very poor so if anyone could point me to a proof that a boat crashed with thylacines it would be appreciated!
Peter, you look kind of like Zach Galifianakis in this. Thats not a bad thing. Could we get a nice straight-faced wheeze laugh next time we see you?

release the tapes!
@@WildTimesPod LOL disclosure coming soon , CIA knows , they're UFO pilots ..
People act like bears are just walking a quarter mile on their hind legs lol. Plenty of hunters/outdoorsman have seen a Bigfoot. They know a bear from a deer from a rabbit.
