Did you know that this strange bipedal behavior of a standing red panda has been all the rage in Japan?
Here’s a fun video on a diversity of the following noted Fortean and cryptozoological topics, which ends with a suggested solution to the Standing Panda’s appearance.
🙂
Mothman;
Chupacabras;
Bigfoot (with a ghost face in the background);
Tsuchinoko (crypto-creature famous in Japan);
Nessie;
Alien with FBI/KGB/Gestapo agents (actually a “Talk of the Times” newspaper hoax);
Flatwoods Monster;
The Doll with growing hair (another typically Japanese Forteana);
Aliens play with cattle mutilations;
Crop circles, by drawing Doraemon;
A play on a famous Australian Sea Serpent photo;
An explanation for Japan’s mystery guardrail metal shards; finally,
The standing Lesser Panda that was the sensation in the land of the rising Sun.
I thank Kentaro Mori of Forgetomori.com for pointing me to this YouTube video, for a few moments of comedic relief.
About Loren Coleman

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.

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.
