About Craig Woolheater
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.
Ok, hard to really tell from the sites supplied images but the sculptures shown do not look all that accurate according to present day data and theories. I understand that full size figures have necessary limitations, but these don’t look that realistic.
BTW:
Before I get hate responses, I’m a professional sculptor for over 35 years and have sculpted many dinosaur models. I’ll admit, none life-sized but the outsides should be representative – not to mention realistic in appearance.
