Animal X Downloads
Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 17th, 2008
Yes, Loren Coleman is in the “Winged Creatures” episode, even if he is not in this new trailer from “Animal X.”
The trailer was not placed online until 2008. Its appearance is a sign that all of the “Animal X” episodes from three seasons are now obtainable through online ordering. We are seeing a shift from DVDs to online ordering, instant obtaining of cryptozoology documentaries.
The “Animal X” overview of this specific program includes images and words, beyond the trailer:
Dan and Nat investigate unidentifiable winged creatures reported around the world in their latest investigation. They travel to Mexico, Point Pleasant in West Virginia and Pleasant Point in Maine to uncover a composite of the science, mystery and folklore behind those large winged creatures that are said to inhabit our skies.

They travel back in time with the original 1960s witnesses of Point Pleasant as they celebrate the Mothman Festival, held in honour of the events that took place in the 1960s.

They travel to Mexico where “Birdman” attacks and sightings are making headlines to chat with those that have witnessed this creature first hand.
They also travel to the Passamoquoddy tribe in Pleasant Point to hear the stories of the Thunderbeings – half human/half bird paranormal creatures that have been part of their life for generations and generations.
Meanwhile, all the other trailers can be found here, including “Bigfoot” involving Craig Woolheater and other Texans.

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
I didn’t like Animal X, it was silly, biased, and I generally felt insulted by it, “darlings.” I did watch them though. At the time we didn’t have a lot in the way of Crypto-programming, besides, Nat is a hottie! Best part of the show, besides Loren being on it, of course. 😉
“Darlings” and “mates” and the Oz-oriented phrasing didn’t really bother me. It was merely Australian.
I have to agree with Mr. Inspector, however, about Nat. She was a sweetie in person, and it was great hearing her accent so out of place in Maine, at my home. Also to listen to Dan’s thoughtful zoological thoughts was great too. Of course, after a certain point of generational divide, I have to view such young women as more daughter-like, being nearer the age of my sons, than in any other way.
🙂
I wonder if Animal X will have a Season 4?
I don’t know this show. I don’t get it where I live.
Seems interesting though. Bit of a unique thing…an Aussie t.v series going around the world in search off oddities. Hmmmmm.
Point Pleasant and Pleasant Point?
Ugh! that Mothman costume was almost painful to watch. Poor Aussies probably had no budget at all.
And I agree with all the previous comments Naty-related 🙂
What channel does Animal X come on, and when? A long time ago I saw one episode, and I regret missing the mothman one. I was too scared to watch it XD.
I’ve seen clips of the animal x mothman on youtube, and that suit
a) looks really freaky, and
b) looks like it has a boa on.
I think the show ran on Animal Planet.
But to agree with above comments, I didn’t like the show much because it was showboaty, or like the Enquirer of crypto shows. And yes the “darlings” line, while it may be authentic-aussie, drove me up a wall.
The one good thing about the show, I believe every once in a while they did come across some evidence that I had not seen for sea cryptids and others.
On the other hand I laughed at the episode where they went into the southern USA back country and set out equipment to catch BF sounds and the equipment disappeared. Now I may be a cynic, but I think stolen was probably a better explanation.
Alright, enough mayhem on the Animal X.
I love Animal X!!!! It sucks how Animal Planet won’t play it any more!!!
I Love Animal X!!!
