Cryptid of the Day: Ryukyu Kingfisher

Description: The Ryukyu Kingfisher, a 9 ½ inch bird, lived in Japan’s Miyako Island, but only one specimen was ever collected back in 1887. It’s believed that the bird went extinct due to the introduction of rats to the island. However, some have reported seeing the bird and believe they are still alive.

The story of the Wolf Woman of Mobile was first published in newspapers on April 8th, 1971. This Alabama monster was reported over 50 times in one week. Witnesses claim that the top half of the creature was that of a human woman, but the bottom half was that of a wolf. Many people described the creature as “pretty and hairy”. Some believe that this creature may have been a werewolf. However, after 10 days of sightings, calls stopped and the creature was never seen again.

good to see some people out there still care about the real issues

Pterosaurs have been sighted in the U.S., many of which occured during the Civil War. Sightings have occurred as recently as 2008 (as shown in the supposed pictures from above).

Although, many people claim pterodactyl/pterosaur sightings to be nothing but misidentifications of known birds such as the frigate bird.

The Jersey Devil has gained many nicknames over the years since its first sighting. Some are less creative like “The Leeds Devil” while others are downright strange like “The Hoodle-Doodle Bird" or “Wozzle Bug”. It is not really known how the Devil got these odd nicknames.
