I heard passing conversations about the furry lobster, but I thought it was a joke! I never saw a picture or read a news article about it, until now! That's awesome! I want one! It's white, so it'd match perfectly with my white cat and ferret!
I'm sick of talking about bigfoot and lake monsters too. . .no offense to bigfoot or anything, cause I still want to catch one, but I've never been really interested in them. I like the Mokele Mbembe and the kongamato. I think bunyips are cool too. ..they sound alot like the Dobhar-chu of Celtic mythology.. . . But as for "new" cryptids. . .who knows. I'm sure there are some aboriginal tribes out there that live around animals that haven't even made it to the realms of cryptozoology yet.
Me too

I have been following stories of the Mokele and Kongamato for some time. Searching 'ropen' will give you some cool sites to read as well, notably, Jonathan Whitcomb's research.
Sadly, I hold very little hope. The blonde lobster was found in waters 2,300m (7,540ft) deep at a site 1,500km (900 miles) south of Easter Island. It is less than 15 cm (6 inches) long, but we found it

A tiny little fella like this all the way down there, and we were not even out there looking for it, unlike our popular yet elusive cryptids. I believe that this makes it quite unlikely that anything of substantial size will be uncovered.
Nice to hope I guess, wont be holding my breath though.
