The Feline Cryptid Iceberg Explained

im a pretty simple guy, you keep making these and i’m gonna keep putting them on before bed

😂 I love comments like these

[@daphuc1730]

I'm so grateful I found this channel. Thanks mate! 😎

[@Zoanfly]

Npp, thank you for checking the channel out!!

@@Zoanfly please make an iceberg video for every type of cryptid that resembles a humanoid giant please

[@kai_plays_khomus]

I really appreciate you covering these topics in a straight matter-of-fact approach reporting the various claims and folklore but omitting the usual pseudoscience bullshit all too common in such areas. I got into cryptozoology over 20 years ago - it couldn't happen to me today now that the term cryptid has lost any meaning it might have had - 80% of creatures presented as such on KZbin don't meet the definition at all at this point and nowadays I wouldn't perceive it as a fringe appendix of zoology interesting enough to draw legitimatly scientificly interested people in but a mere memeplex of pseudo-science, urban legends and conspirationalism. This channel isn't perfect it this regard (Fearsome Critters or chimeras for instance aren't cryptids either), but it keeps from pushing narratives and that's incredibly refreshing - thanks for that, sincerely, and greetings from Berlin!

[@ariannagibson8354]

Yea, I've never considered once extinct animals cryptids because they have scientific evidence which directly contradicts the definition of a cryptid

Since you did an alien big cats, I think it’s necessary for you to cover dog and wolf related cryptids so to mainly cover all topics. Cryptids like the beast of Gevaudan, the black shuck, Rougarou, dog man, the hellhound

[@beastmaster0934]

Don’t forget my personal favorite. The waheela. Which is basically a cross between a wolf and a bear.

@@beastmaster0934 are u dumb? Go watch his videos

Suggestion: canine cryptid

Lol, the newspaper picture of cat rabbit hybrid is literally just a cat taking a dump

Im lazy to edit my comment but the zanzibar leopard is still alive

[@therammyandbrandonshow1175]

Great video

[@marink7]

Another awesome iceberg! Thanks for the good work! Looking foward to the next icebergs. Its fascinating how many of these are in Britain, must be some population of released pets that maybe reproduced and therefore, continue the sightings and legends.

[@Zoanfly]

Thank you! Yeaa I know what you mean I noticed that trend too and a lot of the theories out there do have to do with released exotic animals

[@danasimcho310]

Thank you for mentioning N.C. when you covered sightings in the U.S. Although thousands of sightings are reported each year, N.C. Wildlife officials continue to discredit them & rudely insist that "there are NO big cats of any kind N.C."

[@Кыскивмиске]

Also the earth cat: creature from the Ural tales, a giant cat, big enough for a human to stand between it's ears. It moves underground with only it's ears visible, like shark's fin. But shark's fin isn't commonly ON FIRE, unlike earth cat's ears. It guards treasures of the earth, like gemstones and metals, and can occasionally show a place where you can find them.

[@juandacharroninja]

Most of these pahntom cats can be explained as released pumas, leopards or even tigers into the wild. Other cryptids can be feline hybrids such as the liger (tiger x lion) or the leopon (leopard x lion).

[@draco_1876]

Or they can be cat species that were thought to be “extinct”

[@laurachapple6795]

I sometimes feel like my cat is a cryptid. He won't be found unless he wants to be.

[@Jasmino629]

Suggestion: Extinct Animals Iceberg

[@Zoanfly]

That would be super interesting, and I feel like there would be a lot of entries, thanks for the suggestion!!

[@LovelyAlien-wh2vh]

That would be cool

[@CCnoodle]

I knew my cat was a cryptid all along!

[@thehoundofthegamingvilles2012]

I don't think we should consider the Zanzibar Leopard as a 'cryptid'.

[@theomasole5105]

Big cat cryptids are my favorite type of cryptid.

[@thatonepolishguy3773]

Great video, as usual. Would you mind doing an alien species iceberg or something of the sort?

[@austinlee4156]

Yes one of my fave cryptid varieties, other then avian cryptids

[@Zoanfly]

That’s a upcoming vid, I’ll be working on that after the next vid

[@mgkiryuu]

Flying Crytpids or A fearsome Critters Iceberg (lumberjack cryptids that are usually born from some tall tales. It is where you get stuff like the Hodag, Jackalope, Snallygaster, and Slide-Rock Bolter)

[@Truthisscarierthanfiction]

I'm still holding out hope for the Marozi to be discovered. There's apparently a specimen under investigation currently

[@Zoanfly]

Hey, thanks for the comment! Awesome to see you here

[@RohnDON]

Seen a leopard in rothwell/deception bay. Pretty sure it was hunting dogs.

[@fiorettiduseigneurcapybara2492]

Suggestion : confirmed cryptids iceberg

[@thehoundofthegamingvilles2012]

Bornean bay cat is not a cryptid. It is a subspecies of the asian golden cat.

[@catcrablobster3792]

I haven’t watched this video at all but I’m assuming most of these feline cryptids are just normal cats in really weird places

[@catcrablobster3792]

Okay I stand corrected. Cats in un-cat like places is an entire cryptid category in of itself.

[@mysteriousnc]

It’s Bladenboro, not blenderboro

[@kai_plays_khomus]

Roy Chapman Andrews?! What does "reported on" mean - did he claim to have seen one or did he report on people claiming to have encountered it? Don't get me wrong - anecdotal evidence is as good as no evidence at all regardless who brought it to the table in the strictest scientific sense. And yet a guy like Chapman reporting a personal encounter would be incredibly intriguing..

[@jesseh.5223]

Have you done bovine/cowlike cryptids? ❤

[@kai_plays_khomus]

I'm from the south of Berlin where a guy had captured footage of a lioness in the wild last year. I'm autistically obsessed (literally) with zoology, the wins and let-downs of our brains and rationality in general and had been extremly skeptical - no zoo or circus animal was missing and although big cats in private care being legal in the federal state at hand if licensed and adhering to actually enforced standards it's anything but common and only practiced in 3 cases and you just don't keep a grown lioness a secret in Germany so I checked out the footage - and there she was, the lioness. I've anybody had shown me out of context I would had identified it as a lioness just as well and would have assumed the footage taken in Africa. The police became involved with a Police Hundred and wildlife experts and police officers would witness the animal during the efforts to capture it with their own eyes so village markets gt cancelled, local schools shut down and people instructed to stay at home. Other witness report indicatd it moving east along the Berlin border (Imagine the city as a metropolitan island in a rural sea - immidiatly beyond its outskirts the land is a 50-50 of woods and farms with a few traditional european villages with 1000 years of history and just a few hundred souls sprinkled in - wolves have returned and established and even the occasional moose is showing up every now and then which had been unheard of for centuries so a lot seems possible here in contrast to the industrialized west of Germany for instance) and appearently approaching more populated areas extending like a peninsula in the south east of Berlin where my family home is located as well. Hair and dropping samples would be found, analyzed - and concluded courtesy of a boar, but sightings continued and had been coherent with what you'd expect with a living breathing singular individual strolling around and even critical voices would pop up concerned the efforts to capture it, the hundreds of humans searching the woods, the K-9s and helicopters would unnecessarily stress resp. outright scare a lone and likely already displaced/confused animal while driving it closer to more populated areas and a more measured approach would be the better way to go. The media conducted interviews with professionals such as the staff of the Berlin Zoos (thanks to our unique history of being divided for 40 years we have both the historical and respectivly famous Berlin Zoological Garden in West Berlin as well as the Berlin Tierpark, an expression with the same literal meaning as 'zoological garden' and used synonymously but applied here explicitly in order to distinguish it from the class enemy's counterpart across the wall in the east of the city which ironically complement each other perfectly now that the wall is gone) and of course the true experts were careful not to give a conclusive answer with some of them essencially paraphrasing "C'mon, it's likely a boar because this or that feature being weird for a lioness particularly at once". Eventually a forensic team they had recruited to bring light into this case (there are no forensics spezialized in identifying animals in camera footage so different skill sets have to get melded in a case like this) and their analysis turned out absolutly irrefutable with an unambiguous conclusion: An animal this incredibly common that I could pretty much guarantee to show you in person this night if you want to see yourself, an animal which had fled from me and of whom I have fled myself on numerous occasions, an animal people out there don't particularly like because it can total your car, devastate the local football/"soccer" field and messes up your street the night before garbage collection is due, an outright plague f☠️king up elderly ladies and their dogs at times had kept the southern border of the states Brandenburg and Berlin in a state of emergency for two whole weeks with public life shut down and police patrolling the woods with MP5s (in civilized countries two kinds of gun will suffise for regular police work - a standard hand gun and an SMP in case shit really hits the fan. Whatever remains is the responsibility of special forces who are rarely actually needed, so police patrolling the forest with SMPs is close to end times tier..), with media running wild and people scared to even walk their dogs - all because of a boar captured at night in the head lines of a standing car doing what boars like to do at the side of the road, the most mundane occurance you could expect at a nightly federal road in the state of Brandenburg. Now that I had seen their analysis it was absolutly obvious, just as it had been obvious to be a lion to a skeptic like me, police officers actually involved in the ordeal and even legitimate wildlife experts before.. It was a valuable lesson in regards to the limits of our perception, group psychology, personal bias, the role of the media particularly during summer slump. It wasn't a hoax, no fake involved and with all actors concerned with the matter, from the guy capturing it to the public, the cops and journalists to me who hadn't have a horse in the race either way and only wanted to know the truth of the matter being completly sincere and honest assuming it indeed would have been a lioness on the run. Alas it wasn't, and I actually appreciate such humbling experiences because it helps to keep grounded in reality. Our brains aren't meant to perceive reality, they aren't meant to see what's there but they are meant to see what could be a danger _as a danger_ rather than to perceive something you aren't quite sure about and need to first gather a little more data in order to *Uups, you are dead, Game Over!

Yup I was thinking ab that too

The only one I have a hard time believing is mountain lions in Delaware. Deleware is nothing but suburban sprawl compared to Pa, Maryland, Jersey and Virginia

Please don’t stop making weekly iceberg posts love your vids

[@Zoanfly]

Thank you, is it cryptid videos in specific u like or just general ones?

@@Zoanfly to be totally honest yeah just cryptids or ufo/alien sightings in general. I love listening to your voice
