hi im new to this forum lol
does anyone know about cryptos in the UK because i live there

The only UK specific crypto's that I'm aware of are are the Loch Ness Monster and the giant cats which have been seen around English countryside. There are a lot of threads about the cats, but it's not exactly an interesting subject. sad.gif

EDIT: Now that I think of it, I seem to recall something about crocodiles being seen in Ireland?

There is a "Bigfoot" type creature in the Cairngorm and Torpin Mountains of Scotland called the "Fear Liath More" ( Big Grey Man) and you have the Wudawasa (Old Saxon) Woodwose or Woodhouse which was the "Bigfoot" type that formerly lived in England.

Don't forget the mysterious black phantom dogs if you can call them crytos. unsure.gif
Big cats and Nessie are the only ones I can think of today.

In the past there have been reports of wild people.
gollo
british cryptids beast watch

you could also try to find out about the "Canvey Island Monsters" and "Phantom Black Dogs", but thats about it i'm afraid.

I guess we have some werewolf legends somewhere as well.

I guess being a smallish island there's not much room for anything to hide. hmm.gif

I heard something about Great North Sea Serpent.
It's an eel-like creature living in the North Sea and English channel. Don't know much else.

Considered to be a distinctily different creature from Nessie.

I've never heard of this one! Quite interesting since I live rather near the North Sea (Sweden). But what i know, there's another seaserpant, called Morgawr (meaning seagiant) and is believed to live inFalmouth bay. And in loch Morar theres another nessie: Morag. that's all i know!

Yes they do.

Spiders, unlike insects, have only two body segments instead of three; a fused head and thorax (called a cephalothorax or prosoma) and an abdomen (called the opisthosoma), supported by a hard exoskeleton composed mainly of chitin.

'Really big' is a relative term. Before the dinosaurs appeared, giant insects and arthropods roamed the earth. Dragnoflies the size of crows, and spiders as big as house cats were present. But chitn, though storng, is not strong enough to support man-sized bugs. And the oxygen-content in the modern Earth is insuffucinet to support the primitive breahting apparatus of a large insect/arachnid.
