just found this website, thought someone might want a look see



http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lochness/creatures.html

I have been on that site before. It is a really cool site though.

I think we got some species confusion going on here ...i mean what the hell is it supposed to be anyway???

Answers on a postcard to phreaky critters .....

its a Okapi

"Part mule, part giraffe, and possessed stripes like those of a zebra."

photo of a okapi

wow you'd never get shoes to match the outfit tho, would you ???

but, okapies are real......

just wear black shoes, they go with everything

only until quite recently...well not that recently but nevermind

once they were thought to not exist..

All the animals on the site are real, Mudboots.

Good site Mr. Halo!

Here are a bunch of Okapi pics...

yeah, i just now read the link. **feels stupid**

It's aight dude. Lot's of people have never heard of okapis.They are real though.They were discovered less than a hundred years ago.

Wasn't there a recent cryptid proved to be real caled the rainbow snake?

lol, no, no, i felt stupid because i didnt realize the stuff on the link was on real creatures thought to be mythical.......i was just confused.

i'm sorry that my link confused you man_in_mudboots

Can any of you tell me whether drop bears from Australia are real? Now that we are talking about whether things are real or not. Them down-under blokes I think are trying to pull a fast one on me. thanks!!!

i've never heard of these creatures...

but i'll look into it for you

Good link Halo! man, I love the Okapi, makes you wonder what other large ungulates are still undiscovered.

G'day, drop bears are definatly real. The only way to stop them from getting you is to cover yourself in vegemite.

Are you being serious? Drop Bears sound like a crock to me, but I don't live out there. BTW, welcome to the forums Kaliada!

Hi Monster Hunter X....hehe no, not serious. Just having a play. Drop bears are just a figment of the imagination...used to scare wayward children (like myself when I was little) who used to wander off into the bush alone and comes in very handy when you want to give foreign bush walkers a bit of a fright. hehe
All just aussie legend I'm afraid

And thanks for the welcome by the way...am loving this board

so drop bears aren't real then?

no reported sighting or anything?

No, drop bears and hoop snakes are just a joke, Kaliada is being fair dinkum they are just stories we tell to tourists (mainly Germans) for a bit of fun, hope we didn't mislead to many of you good folk.

No sightings or the like that I know of. Just a good ol' yarn that we like to spin to tourists so we can have a chuckle down at the pub hehe
Bit like how all Australians ride kangaroos around

oh ok then, i was just curious...

"Drop bears are just a figment of the imagination"

Thanks Kaliada! I don't trust them aussie blokes no more. Now I'll stop drinking Foster's Beer. That'll sink their economy.

LOL I wouldn't trust them either
Never know with them bloody aussies

Oh forgot to add.....please please please don't stop drinking Fosters beer! Our economy will hit rock bottom! LOL

i like fosters

If you can find it try Victoria Bitter (VB) similar can to Fosters but green, you
will never look back, Gods own drop!

i'm not a fan of bitter....

i like a nice bottle of becks
