National Geographic Goes Cryptozoology Crazy?
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on December 23rd, 2005
Of the top 10 most viewed news photos for the year on National Geographic News, half have a cryptozoology theme.
Number 10 is the photo of the Basilosaurus skeleton, previously mentioned here on Cryptomundo.
Number 8 is the illustration of the real-life sea monster dubbed Godzilla, previously mentioned here on Cryptomundo.
Number 4 is the photo of the out-of-place Burmese python in the Everglades of Florida that exploded after attempting to swallow an alligator.
Number 2 is the photo of the giant catfish caught in the Mekong River of Thailand on May 1st of this year.
Number 1 is a still from the first ever video of a live giant squid, previously mentioned here on Cryptomundo.
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Nah, not a respected institution like National Geographic.
Only wackos, nuts, and rubes are interested in cryptozoology.
Number 8, Godzilla resembles the odd creature of the postcard that everyone is still trying to decipher…
