Today in class we did the passage on the Loch Ness Monster. Nessie is a mystery as noone really knows what it is.. What other mysteries do you know about? If you have any links to the mystery, post them here.
There is one mystery I wanted to share and it is about Big Foot.
This is the discription about the Big Foot:
Bigfoot is described in reports as a large ape-like creature, ranging between 6–10 feet (1.8–3.0 m) tall, weighing in excess of 500 pounds (230 kg), and covered in dark brown or dark reddish hair. Alleged witnesses have described large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large, low-set forehead; the top of the head has been described as rounded and crested, similar to the sagittal crest of the male gorilla. Bigfoot is commonly reported to have a strong, unpleasant smell by those who have claimed to have encountered it. The enormous footprints for which it is named have been as large as 24 inches (61 cm) long and 8 inches (20 cm) wide. While most casts have five toes—like all known apes—some casts of alleged Bigfoot tracks have had numbers ranging from two to six. Some have also contained claw marks, making it likely that a portion came from known animals such as bears, which have five toes and claws. Proponents have also claimed that Bigfoot is omnivorous and mainly nocturnal.
That is all about the discripyion of the Big Foot.
I am going to share with you about the Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels are alleged to have mysteriously disappeared in the manner that cannot be explain by human error, pivacy, equipment failure, or natural disaters. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings. While a substantial body of documentation reveals that a significant portion of the allegedly mysterious incidents have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, claims by official agencies, stating that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean, have been directly challenged by the investigations of several private researchers.
This is something I found The Bermuda Triangle, which is also known as Devil's Triangle, is a source of much debate. The Bermuda Triangle mystery is nothing but a sham, at least according to a myriad of skeptics, and there still remain many who believe there is something fishy going on here. As for Bermuda Triangle facts, we do know that the Bermuda Triangle covers just over 932,000 square miles of open seas in the Atlantic Ocean. The exact Bermuda Triangle location is almost as controversial as the larger overall mystery, as there are varying opinions as to what the actual borders are. However, for the sake of offering a sound Bermuda Triangle location suggestion, we'll go with the standard triangle shape, which has its three points falling near Florida's Atlantic coast, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. The disappearance of various sea vessels and aircraft which were traveling through the general Bermuda Triangle location is what has led some to believe that special forces are at hand in the region. This Bermuda Triangle mystery has only strengthened over the years, much to the chagrin of critics who claim that the Bermuda Triangle is no more devious than any other stretch of ocean. Two of the events that have helped to lead to the Bermuda Triangle mystery occurred in 1881 and 1945. The 1881 occurrence involved a British ship named the Ellen Austin. This ship met with another ship in the Bermuda Triangle, only the other ship was sailing without a soul onboard. After moving some of its crew to the unmanned ship, the Ellen Austin went its own way. Some days later, the ships crossed a second time on the open seas, and once again, the other ship was without a crew. The 1945 event is probably the most famous, and it involves the US Navy losing five of its bombers over the Bermuda Triangle location. After the squadron leader reported back to base that he and his fellow pilots were lost, the radio went dead. When further attempts at communication failed, a rescue plane was sent searching for answers. That rescue plane would disappear as mysteriously as the five bombers did before it. The five days that followed the disappearance of the US Navy planes saw additional searches to no avail. To this day, nobody is sure what happened to the six planes that disappeared in this incident. Some believe the Bermuda Triangle is a time warp of sorts, while others believe that extraterrestrial beings are to blame. You can feel free to make up your own mind. Should you be flying through the Bermuda Triangle on your way to Bermuda, or passing through it on a cruise ship, perhaps you will do a bit of research of your own to see what you come up with
This is about the Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is an alleged ape-like creature purportedly inhabiting forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid.
The scientific community considers Bigfoot to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoaxes, rather than a real creature. In general, mainstream scientific consensus does not support the posited existence of megafauna cryptids such as Bigfoot, because of the improbably large numbers necessary to maintain a breeding population, and because climate and food supply issues would make such purported creatures' survival in reported habitats unlikely.Despite these facts, Bigfoot is one of the more famous examples of a cryptid within cryptozoology.
I also found more infomation on Loch Ness(Nessie)!Here are some infomation. --------------->The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid that is reputed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The most frequent speculation is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs,[3] It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next.
Popular interest and belief in the animal has fluctuated since it was brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings. The scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, and explains sightings as a mix of hoaxes and wishful thinking. Despite this, it remains one of the most famous examples of cryptozoology. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname Nessie[4] (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag)[1] since the 1950s.

This is Daarmi. I found something on what they call The Lake Van Monster. Thi is what I found:
The Lake Van Monster (Turkish: Van Gölü Canavarı) was not reported until 1995 in Lake Van, a large alkaline lake in Eastern Turkey. There are now more than 1,000 people claiming to have witnessed the beast which is reported to measure around fifteen meters long with spikes on its back and appears similar to a Plesiosaur or Ichthyosaurus. Following these reports the Turkish government sent an official scientific survey group to the lake who failed to spot the creature. In 1997 a local man, Unal Kozak, a teaching assistant at Van University, captured the creature on video which was sent for analysis. He has written a book about the monster. Yet his video is under constant criticism, with questions like why it never pans left, possibly because of a boat that may have carried the creature. Or why the monster only goes straight, instead of curving through the water. Even criticism as to why the breathing is not in and out, but a continuous release, much like the effects of an air hose. A 4-meter high statue based on reported sightings has been erected to its honor in Van, Turkey. Skeptics point out that the region would benefit from tourist revenue and a hoax might attract visitors.[1]
This is Daarmi.I found something about Sea Creatures.This is what I found:
A more recent development has been the two mysterious noises "Bloop" and "Slow Down" picked up by hydrophonic equipment in 1997 and not heard since. While matching the audio characteristics of an animal, they were deemed too large to be a whale. Investigations thus far have been inconclusive. It is debatable what these modern "monsters" might be. Possibilities include the frilled shark, basking shark, oarfish, giant squid, seiches, or whales. For example Ellis (1999) suggested the Egede monster might have been a giant squid. Other hypotheses are that modern-day monsters are surviving specimens of giant marine reptiles, such as an ichthyosaur or plesiosaur, from the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods, or extinct whales like Basilosaurus. In 1892, Anthonie Cornelis Oudemans, then director of the Royal Zoological Gardens at The Hague saw the publication of his The Great Sea Serpent, which suggested that many sea serpent reports were best accounted for as a previously unknown giant, long-necked pinniped. It is likely that many other reports of sea monsters are misinterpreted sightings of shark and whale carcasses (see below), floating kelp, logs or other flotsam such as abandoned rafts, canoes and fishing nets.
And that is found and another thing I don't if the thing on top refers to one monster
I(Daarmi) and Zong Han have found out something about the Abomonible Snowman. Here it is:
The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is a mythological creature and an ape-like cryptid said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet. The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region,[1] and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.
The scientific community largely regards the Yeti as a legend, given the lack of evidence,[2] yet it remains one of the most famous creatures of cryptozoology. The Yeti may be considered a sort of parallel to the Bigfoot legend of North America.
can you please make the burmuda triangle and explain to us?
