The Real Lost World Screens
Posted by: Loren Coleman on December 10th, 2006
A reminder: The Real Lost World airs tonight on Animal Planet – December 10th and then again on December 17th, 2006.
It screens on Discovery HD Theater on December 14th, and in Canada on OLN Cable, December 17th, 2006.
The documentary’s director Peter von Puttkamer was also the director of the successful 2002 series, Monster Hunters, and my all-time favorite “people” documentary about the quest, Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot.

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 saw it and wasn’t too impressed. I learned of two new cryptids, the Rato and a pterosaur that has a native name I can’t spell, but I was less the happy about the treatment that Dean recieved. I really don’t know how someone who looks for life in space can criticize someone who is actually searching for something on our planet.
can anyone please tell me when it will air on animal planet in the uk? thanks!
It was interesting from crypozoological point because it really show how little we really know about the remote places of the earth. Even in the US places like the Eastern Swamps, deserts and mountains of the western states, there are many places where no modern human has set foot. If they can find new mammal species in southeast Europe after its long history of human occupation, Bigfoot and other cryptids don’t seem as unlikely as mainstream science would have you believe.
Good show but considering the stories of cryptic ape-men, pterosaurs, etc on the mountain all turned out to zip it was discouraging for cz’ers.
The usual fare as I expected with nothing out of the ordinary. Reminded me of a high school biology trip but more arduous physically and in exotic climes. Nothing new with the flora and fauna that I haven’t seen before on other shows.
How about showing a CZ show that is actually about something NEW in CZ! Oh, too much to ask? 🙂
