African Cryptids Are Kinda Crazy

[@fossposs6408]

having a personal flock of birds is unironically really cool

[@Cree8Ball]

I know right? I'm kind of envious of the little guy

[@infurnessfire4452]

Have you heard of chickens

[@tendayimichaelchinyerere1843]

Like hyper tails

[@tektyrant]

I love how the little girl was smiling as she told her father that her brother was just devoured.

[@skeepodoop5197]

2:16 That picture made me actually laugh out loud. "Hey have you seen my comedically large walking stick." Is something I'm going to quote till my deathbed.

[@ThoughtPotato]

I must know his secret; I’ve found sourcing 12-foot-tall walking sticks to be notoriously difficult

[@Cree8Ball]

Tell me about it, the man must be a magician

@@Cree8Ball same to you!

[@user-mp8wy8lp4y]

It's cool to see African cryptids getting some well deserved attention, my favorite African cryptids are the Kasi rex, a monstrous trex creature that hunts rhinos and elephants. and the enndi tiger, which is basically a Smilodon aka saber tooth tiger.

[@Cree8Ball]

Haven't heard of these guys

[@eddie-roo]

Kasi Rex sounds like one of those racist “Africa is the land before time” cryptids, like mokelembembe used by creationists to proselytize rather than actual African mythology

Thanks for letting me know these obscured cryptids. I've been meaning to find more of these for my worldbuilding

[@Cree8Ball]

World building for what

[@aeonmatter6976]

@@Cree8Ball Well the world I'm building is a world named Corotorn. The world has many mysteries and strange phenomena. From supernatural to cosmic forces and others. When the tides of fantasy meets the shores of reality, a strange world is born

[@In_Our_Timeline]

this has to be one of the best topic to cover like there are so many people and ethnic/religious groups so it is just logical that they will have there own interesting and fascinating folklore which should be learn and need to be studied like we just only cover eurpean or american folk lore which is not fair imo africa is worth knowing so i really like videos like this thanks

[@poptasticanimation55]

This was cool. You gave me ideas for the world im building. I think I will draw upon these and other African cryptids to create animals for my world

There were, at one time, a megafauna called "terror bird." It was (iirc) 9'-12' tall (1.5-2 meters), with a HUGE pointed beak, and was known (by fossils) to use the beak to peak in and crush early humans' skulls.

[@Sara3346]

@@Cree8Ball Do you ever wonder if the seemingly increased viciousness of these figures reflected in these stories at least compared to what I have heard of elsewhere in the old world is connected to the environment? (Barring Japan, the land of the most frequent earthquakes and tsunamis) Do you think it might have something to do with the locals trying to give form (and thus a way to avoid or combat)to tropical diseases and unseen animal attacks? Like no matter what you had to deal with in prehistoric Sweden I'm pretty you'd and your society at large would never have to deal with would be things like baboons actually snatching babies, hippos and crocodiles bisecting men or flies that could maim you with one bite?
