Full Version: Cryptozoology Photo Poll....
pick a photo.....
Hard to say. I think that the frist 2 are definitely real. The only one that might be fake to me would be number 4 and 5. I've heard that these are hoaxes, but I believe the others to be real.
The Paterson footage, despite the rumours I'm sticking with it.
I don't know 
, the first could be true, the 2nd maybe, scientists believe that the movie from where it comes from could be real (they are still debating on it), 5 and 6 I know for sure they are hoaxs. And No.4 looks very fake to me.

i put #4, because its pretty sweet, but i do like the dancing sasquatch
I guess I might say Patty, but they're probably all fake. 
I think 5 and 6 have already been debunked.
I think 5 and 6 have already been debunked.
I've always liked the first one, but it's hard to tell just how big it really is. I think the Patterson pic is real. I HOPE the third one is. I love that pic. I think the 4th and 5th have been proven fake, and the jury is still out on the last one...

The first photo (giant python)is claimed to be from the Congo isnt it? Its regarded as real but not proven. So its not fake but not proven real.
The second photo is real, ive studied the patterson footage and cant find anything wrong with it at certain FPS's.
The third photo is taken from Canada isnt it??ogopongo ot whatever its called?
The Fourth Photo is the Surgeons 1936 one isnt it..Thats fake
The fourth Photo was taken off the Queensland coast by a professor who was there looking for this type of thing.
While not fake it doesnt show what it loks like, we beleive its a school of fish just in an unusual formation, the third and fourth images in this he took dont show it like this.
The fifth photo is real of what is believed to be a Spider Monkey.
I voted six as the most real because it is a real image of a real monkey, the others are of real things (in a few of them) but not accepted as fact so no6 is the only real one, although as I said above in my post, not al of them are fake.

5.) It's a basking shark, so it is a real photo.
6.) Again, real. It's that chimp that had messed up genes that they thought was the missing link... Until they tested him and found out he was just a chimp. Certainly a special fella, though. He died a while ago in a zoo where he received special attention. Said to have veyr human like atributes. Walking upright, etc, but he wasnt taught to do so. He also looked very human like. Scary almost.

mr halo! thanks for the link to the exp on the 'Congo Snake' picture, I'd seen it before and always wondered about it! Am fascinated with giant snakes. My avatar shows another picture that has always fascinated me...the Mekong Naga? Any truth to it? Anyone??
Serpent
thanks for the info.
a 40- 50 feet long snake??? thats about 120 metres, correct me if im wrong. wow....hope its true, but sounds nearly impossible.

50 feet is about 15.2 metres (multiply by 0.3048) but that's still VERY long. The longest snake found here was a 30 footer (python). That picture though, looks to me like the snake is much longer than 50 feet!

Picture number 2 is definately real, the others I will say could be real.
I still stick with #2--does a basking shark really have suck a long snake-like body?? Looks like a giant sperm to me! But I thought that one was proven to be a school of fish...anyway, the snake pic looks totally cut and pasted, as does the first one of Nessie--the 2nd Nessie was proven to be a fake...the monkey, i dunno--it doesnt look like any bigfoot I've ever "seen", but it is possible its a deformed ape-i believe its real, but not a bigfoot.

Young basking sharks have very thin elongated bodies... Though it does look a little too long and thin. Perhaps the water is creating an illusion, i dunno. I read that men where examining the sharks when this photo was taken.
QUOTE
Ahh ha, so i was wrong.. but it seems that this is the same 'sort' of thing as Oliva the mutant ape. 2 of the ape like beasts where found though...? Thats freaky. Makes you wonder if it is a new species.
The thing about the snake is that the picture looks so fake it's hurting my eyes. I could make that photo... Photoshop and some skill, easy as pie. It could be real, but i very much doupt it. It's also hard to tell how big exacly the snake featured is in comparason to the landscape. That could be a worm wriggling accross moss for all we know...
I do beleive that out there somewhere there has got to be a giant mutant annoconda, maybe several. HUUUGE snakes. That's not unbeleivable, what is unbeleivable... is that photo. Sorry, it suuuucks. =P

Do you think you could find a pic of one? I'm still having a hard time believing this is a basking shark. Although I don't have an explanation as I don't believe its Nessie either. All the pics i could find online look like normal sharks with different mouths, but I'm sure these are adults. Here'sa pic I found:
I'll have a look and ill scan the book that said about that pic tomorow if i can find the damn thing....
The mouth would certainly justify that picture. But the fins and tail...? Yeah i see your point. I stil think that it's the water distorting the image, or perhaps the shark is pulling it's fins in as it 'basks' there. I don't know, but i do beleive that to be nothing more than a shark. These type of shark also come very close to the surface, like seen in the other pic.

maybe its a real sea monster, i like the picture.....
Well i actually think 6 ( the ape pic) is the MOST likely.... but also the serpanty one...(5) i love that pic so i chose that instead of 6 
and in the lead are photos 1 and 2 with 7 votes each
I've swam with several Baskin Sharks in the water. They're amazing things, but the skin is the most dangerous, it's like sand paper if you brush up against it it'll cut you.
Nubmers 1 & 6 are most realistic... 5 looks like a GIANT sperm...
well maybe there are giant sperm out there just waiting to be discovered....
oh photo number 1 is in the lead....
oh photo number 1 is in the lead....
Hasn't #5 been proven to be a fake?
I mean if it wasn't, what could it be - a giant tadpole? Cool picture though. The others seem to have some(if not a lot) of controversy surrounding them. Especially the brown "nessie" photo.
I vote for the snake.

[COLOR=red] sorry to disappoint some of you out there but the last photo is alleged to be a fake. It is recongnized as a spider monkey, which can grow to over 4 feet tall but if you look closely at the image does not have the feet of a bipedal like the bigfoot/sasquatch/yeti...etc. There are no rear pictures of de's ape which is believed that he did not take them because it would show a tail and prove his ape to be a hoax. 
i voted Deloy's ape, though i dont believe in it.
why did you vote for it then *shakes fist*
because, you asked

what my poll question is meant to mean is..what photo do you think is most likely to be a genuine photo of a cryptid...buts thats a long question, so i shortened it...
It was a toss up between #1 and #2. I voted for #1.
I really want to believe that the others are real, but they just don't look kosher.
As for #6, I think it's a monkey and not a new found species.

I chose the first pic because,well,I believe that it is a real snake,but it is not that big.It's obvious that it is actually quite small.That is what I'd say is not so believable one.The rest are all popular,they also look very real...
i think the snake one is fake it looks look a little model of a place with a small snake
i have no idea what to make of the snake picture, but i do like it, and its never been proven to be a fake....
keep voting people.... by the way the snake photo is well in the lead...

How big does this one look to you?
....[attachmentid=6093]
The wonders of snakes, boy can those suckers grow!
BTW I voted for the 1st one.
BTW I voted for the 1st one.
here is a snake found in asia they say it is 49 feet what do you think
this pics makes it look like it is that big
The "49footer's" size was exaggerated.
didn't that snake turn out to be just over 20ft or something?
Yea, something like that. 29 maybe? I forget.
photo 1 has 18 votes....
photo 6 has 12 votes....
keep voting people....
I like the first photo because it reminds me of a microscopic image, like a roundworm in muscular tissue of an animal but, I don't pretend to know anything.
Bigfoot, right? The eye-holes in the mask give it away.
The third photo is of "nessie" and I believe has been proven to be a hoax.
Fourth photo would be the same as above. A log, I believe it was.
Unless that is a refraction to make the image look bigger that it really is, that creature would have eaten the man and his boat, I think. Hoax.
This image disturbs me. I think it is real and some one should call the ASPCA! It is mean to abuse animals.
Good survey, I think.

i still reckon if that pattrerson footage/photo is a fake, then it was very well done...
anyway keep voting people...
i'm curious to see what will come out on top...

Hi Serpent,
Your avatar in fact is a photo of some US marines holding up a rare oar fish
At the Fortean Unconvention 2002, I saw Richard Freeman gave a fascinating talk about the legendary Naga. When I was writing up my report I found this link, which is the exact talk he gave! Hope you find it interesting.

They're all "real" pics. It's a matter of if the subject is real or not.
