April Fool's prank Cryptozoology

A list about special creatures that woke up from hibernation

After we met the Dav Here are a number of "friends".
In Morocco, in North Africa, he is known as "Benicolebo" (Son of the Dog), and the infamous secret police were named after him. Like him, she operated in the mysteries of darkness and with bloody cruelty.

In Tahiti his name is Tonton Macoutes and he "specializes" in kidnapping children from their homes. In order to scare the innocent citizens, it was also the name of the security service that kept the life of the hated president and ensured the elimination of his opponents.

In South and Central America it is known as the Chupacabra "goat squeezer" or nagual that steals cheese, rapes women, attacks goats, sheep and children and drains their blood. Similar stories come from West Africa about a bright "wolf-like" called "the spirit of the forest", attacking farm animals and children, leaving them with their veins punctured and their blood drained.

The Turks know that those with special skills are able to transform themselves into a Kurtadam, but this time the creature is not considered evil but respected by the people. His most well-known and familiar name is "Wherwolf" "coyote" or "man-wolf". He was even given the "scientific" name "Lycanthrope" (which means wolf man). In all cases the reference is to a cruel and bloodthirsty creature that appears every day as a person from the settlement, and is able to change its form at will or under the pressure of environmental conditions. At night, especially on full moon nights, he turns into a wolf and at dawn into human prey. The creature acquires the special properties following a curse or a bite from another werewolf. When he changes his form, the werewolf receives supernatural powers that allow him to carry out his plan. The name derived from Greek is also given to a disease in which the patient believes that he has become an animal and behaves accordingly.

The first known report of the existence of the werewolf appears in Greek writings in connection with conspiracies between the gods, and since then the concept (the creature) has been spreading throughout the world. Since the creature appears every day as a person from the settlement, it is necessary to develop methods to identify it, such as cutting into the flesh - if fur appears in the cut, then it is clear that it is the kitz. Those who manage to look under the tongue of the production will recognize stiff bumps. When the werewolf wears wolf form it can be recognized because of its special size but also because of the lack of its tail.

It is possible to try and cure a person of the "disease" by several methods and ways, all of which may lead to his death: special medicines or by exorcism, knife strikes on the forehead or piercing of the hands. If the healing fails, there is no choice and obligation to kill the creature by using a sword made of pure silver.

Not all predators are bad. In the Himalayas and especially in Tibet, the Yeti or the Snowman is known, who lives in the snowy highlands in areas where there is no human population. It is revealed only to a few and virtuous individuals. Those who managed to see him tell of a gorilla-like creature, big and hairy that walks on two legs. Explorers and travelers who searched

In Haiti, they tell of footprints whose size leaves no room for hesitation in the existence of the mysterious giant. Research expeditions that went into the field specifically to find Haiti returned with findings that are not conclusive, such as footprints in the snow or fur hair. Neither the footprints nor the hair were identified with certainty. The Sherpa mountain climbing guides know that Haiti exists and they do not need scientific proof.

In Indonesia lives a small relative of Haiti and his name is Orang Pendek (little man). Small, since according to the descriptions of the local tribesmen he is about 100 cm tall, he is covered with gray hair, and according to reports his color may be reddish, brown, golden, yellow or orange. He lives in inaccessible forest areas, most of his food is vegetarian, so the sightings of him are mainly between tree branches. According to the locals, his feet are facing the opposite direction of his progress, and this is to hide the direction of his escape.

Like Haiti from the Himalayas, Bigfoot is also described as a monkey-like creature that lives in the forests of North America, some even described it as a "humanoid that walks on two legs". Photos that the photographers claim perpetuate and prove his existence are published every few years, have his footprints been sampled? and were published.

The European settlers of the American continent learned about the existence of the Big Foot from the local natives who knew how to tell about a "big and hairy ape" that reaches two meters in height, his eyes are large under prominent eyebrows, a low forehead, a skull with a prominent dome (resembling the skull of a gorilla), a pungent smell and not Pleasant, his footprints are huge, about 60 cm long, with five toes and sometimes claw marks. The Haitian and the Bigfoot are described as omnivores that come out of hiding mainly at night (and therefore difficult to meet). In an extensive survey, it became clear that Native Americans in different regions know creatures similar to Bigfoot and attribute different properties to them according to the geographical location and the "cryptozoological" tradition of each group and tribe.

The Americans (like Americans) also "know" the genealogy of the Bigfoot and even connected it to an ancient monkey species whose remains were found in Southeast Asia where it lived about a million years ago and up to about 300 thousand years ago. Because of the size of the remains, the ancient monkey received the name "giant monkey" - Gigantopithecus.

Compared to the giant ape that reached a height of three meters and a weight of half a ton, the Bigfoot is small but still the largest of the great apes today (befitting an American).

We will also mention the well-known Scottish monster Nessie from Loch Ness and her American sister the "lake demon" "ogopogo" from Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, the fire-breathing dragons and the unicorn. We will end by mentioning the sirens that appear in front of the beaches of Bat Yam and Haifa alternately.

Those who have not seen one of the mentioned creatures must feel lacking.
