Could catch, it does make it all the more believable. At that time they we are thought to be brown, or grey & absolutely lizard like. To hear it was black with fine feathers when that wasnt even thought to be the case.

I have seen some old old ships with the wood carvings on the bow of the boat wit exactly what you described. There are many many cryptozoological creatures that our governments do NOT want us to know exist. Like mermaids and merpeople. As Russia was developing pods of porpuses(?) to patrol the seas for submarines. So the U.S. started killing them using sound frequency. And immediately their agents would arrive and round up all the dead mers before people start showing up. Navy folks also report seeing them swimming with dolphins around the ships while at see. Which could explain why these sea creatures are so extremely friendly and playful with humans. 🤔

Several species and some quite large living in the absolute harshest climate on the planet. There easily could have been a artic dinosaur evolve just like the antarctic dinosaurs. But with the large predators in the north it would have to be able to defend himself. Without knowing the climate and position of Canada over the past 65mil years it’s very plausible. I just found out the short face bear is still alive in the Andes mountains and lives in the trees like monkeys and builds nest like birds. It still has the short face as well. I had no idea lol.

[@aaroncutting]

There are many anecdotal stories from people all across the US and Canada that center around cryptids that could generally be described as some type of dinosaur or flying reptile. I am one of those people. This sighting takes place in SW Ohio near a State park known for its lake and covered in an old growth forest and dotted with small caves. In my Junior year of college I was with my girlfriend in my car waiting for a group of friends to show up for a fly-day (AIAA student org where we build and fly scale aircraft and drones). As we are waiting my girlfriend exclaimed that there was a "dragon" above us. My first though was that someone had a dragon drone, but when I looked up I saw a small creature flying overhead and sure enough it looked like a small pterosaur. We jumped out of the car to get a better view. It was flying close enough to the ground to see that it had no feathers, but instead had a translucent grey-tan wing and a similarity colored body. It's head was long relative to it's body and it had a short tail with a small vertically oriented diamond 'sail' on the end. We were both pretty shocked to see this thing and immediately told our friends 15 or so minutes later when they showed up. They... Did not believe us. Fast forward a bit and when we were next at the State park I asked one of the park rangers if they ever saw things flying around. He replied with the usually list of native hawks and waterfowl. I then asked if there were any odd creatures flying around that weren't birds. Without hesitation he replied "oh yeah the Thunderbirds". Apparently the park rangers see them with some frequency and claim that they live in the small caves in the area. Take from that what you will but it isn't unheard of for people to see creatures that are supposed to be extinct. Of interesting note SW Ohio has a number of reptilian cryptids such as the Loveland frog men (this was later tied to an escaped iguana that had grown to a large size so not really a cryptid) and the Loveland monster which was a large reptilian creature encounter by early settlers in Loveland Ohio and was tracked and killed shortly after it was seen by some young children.

I will admit... the story is interesting for multiple reasons. First, despite how dinosaurs were depicted at the time, the Monster was relatively quick and energetic. Second, you have it living in arctic conditions, when the general view of dinosaurs at the time was that they could only live in warm/hot and humid environments, with it taking until relatively recently when actual fossils were found that dinosaurs lived in places where it snowed. And, finally, the description of "Fur" and "Bristles" easily could be primative feathers or ones like what emu had... and being that the only other mention of a feathered dinosaur was much later in the late 40s and then nothing until the 80s/90s, well... one has to raise eyebrows.

Another great video. I think Dupuy tips his hand when he describes the creatures tracks as having the dragging belly and legs out to the sides.

This makes me a little suspect of his story, but awesome all the same. Keep up the good work.

[@tatevancleve1802]

Yes but possibly this is where it was laying down and we really don't know how the would lay down and im sure in the process of getting up or laying down in such a position would leave similar imprints to this & not necessarily be its typical tracks when walking or running.

Apart from the misuse of the term “Dinosaur” when describing other Mesozoic reptiles, this video was really solid. If this was indeed a Ceratosaurus then it’s way above the current estimates we have for the genus: C. dentisulcatus was the largest and probably reached a length of 7 meters and a weight of up to 700 kg. The fur is likely akin to downy-type dinofuzz. The dragging of the tail is very unlikely in most Dinosauria and Ceratosaurus seems to have used it tail for counterbalancing. The long neural spines and chevrons prevented much dorsoventral movement, so drooping the tail ventrally was very unlikely and non-beneficial for this animal

[@niklashall5969]

Brilliant channel!!

[@jasonpratt5126]

Re whether dragon art comes from dinosaur skeletons: probably not, because it's super rare to find intact skeletons. You could model a Triceratops skull for a temple, for example (at least one of those exists), because that's likely to survive in one piece in a shape that makes visual sense to what the animal's head looked like; but not get the general body shapes correct, much less the rather advanced artistic representations which can be found that long predate modern analysis. (For example, a Judeo-Christian mosaic from the 300s which illustrates the prophet Job (typo corrected, Jonah) having been vomited up by what's obviously a pleiosaurid of some sort: it's exhaling like a whale through two soft tall nostril-horns, but unlike a whale the exhaust is in two visible streams and going forward, not backward.) Of course, a lot of art is based on earlier art, and there's some development which can be traced along that line.

Excellent video on the cryptids of Canada! I will say this one is new to me, I’ve might have heard about it briefly before but not in great detail. If this creature is real which I’m pretty skeptical about and considering the analysis regarding this particular individual who encountered this creature and taking into account the stories and papers He wrote beforehand. Also the details about the tribe he talked about on your analysis in the region which don’t quite add up. But If it is actually real, it certainly wouldn’t be ceratosaurus, ceratosaurus lived in the Jurassic, had scaly skin, osteoderms, and a nasal horn with a pair of horns over the eyes. The cryptid in question is said to have one horn. The somewhat Similar features to the horned Jurassic dinosaur would be due to convergent evolution. And the bristle like hair filaments described is interesting, there are certain groups of dinosaurs that evolved bizarre hair like and bristle like structures, or filaments. Even some evolved bizarre bristle like scales, but some of the integument of these bizarre groups of dinosaurs is still a mystery as to what it might be related to. Also when dinosaurs lived in the Arctic during the Mesozoic it was much warmer than it is today, they wouldn’t cope in today’s arctic weather, well only if they had a chance to evolved they probably could have. And the part about people in remote Russia having encounters with creatures that have a similar description is intriguing, I wonder if there is any legitimately to it.

I specialize in the operations of GPR, allowing me to see thousands of feet into the earth, this has allowed me to confirm and verify, what most can only speculate. I've worked for multiple military and government agencies throughout my career, today, 2021, I can see what I've done for this government, was not for us, the people, but for the governments own gain in war and the further enslavement of the human kind.

WOW! When hearing all of the Victorian Era stories about Dinosaurs and lost worlds, I was to remember a bunch of either movies, TV shows, or comics that have either taken inspiration or straight up plagiarized those novels, lol.

If dinosaurus translates to terrible lizard, does thesaurus translate to the lizard?

No, it's derived from Latin, meaning treasury/collection

I read the original account by the author regarding this encounter. Three points in the story stood out to me as red flags. 1 No Indian tribe under the name he gave exists in the historical record 2 The outpost he named,as having been, did not exist in the location he gave it in his story 3 He stated the dinosaur had something fully within it's mouth.That it was chewing and that he heard the crunching of bones. I would like to point out that dinosaurs, lacking molar teeth are incapable of chewing Like crocodilians and lizards they were not designed to chew. For these reasons I conclude the story is pure fiction.

While it’s probably not likely I’d bet some Dino’s could have survived in caves, the largest cave In Canada was very recently discovered in northern BC

[@baneofbanes]

Not for a long time.

[@peabrain6872]

Definitely not, they were huge, not cave dwellers and ate a shitload. Even the ones that were small were still not cave dwellers

[@Firedrake-SP]

But if the Partridge Creek Beast is a hoax, why is based on a ceratosaurs? The Arthur could have easily based the creature on any other theropod dinosaur like Tyrannosaurus rex.

[@user-dd4fv6qj8g]

I mean, most paleontologists now agree that dinosaurs almost certainly were not cold-blooded, and that many therapods had a bristly coating of proto-feathers, likely to survive in more arctic conditions. Sooooooooo if anything the story is ahead of its time. No way it is a Ceratosaurus though; the critter is way too big and nothing from the jurassic could have possibly survived to the modern day.

The print in the mud sounds like it was jumping. Or hopping. Not dragging. Otherwise it would be trenches. Not imprints. As when it hopped down the gully with agility. Sounds very powerful.

One of my favorite paintings is of two dinosaurs on frozen hillside in the alpine both feathered one brightly colored beaked male making a feather display presumably for mates and a white t rex stalking it barely visible except for its black eyes and claws like a polar bear on an ice sheet it's an image that has seared itself into my memory

[@mr.octopus6972]

Scientists are saying that in order to have a sustainable population of a given wild animal you have to count at least 10,000 heads in a given region. Less than that you can say that the specie is in danger. If those dinosaurs and mammoths are still there, there must be a lot of them out there. How come these sightings are so scarce?

[@tatevancleve1802]

Thats not necessarily true. Some reptiles and amphibians can be extremely long living and even change their sex if necessary if populations are too low to reproduce. They can also go into a hibernating modes for years or even decades. My first girlfriend in highschool told me how her & her mom used to have a tortoises over 10 years prior but it must have gotten out of their yard. Then later that same summer i was house/dog sitting for them while they were on a European vacation. Then while my buddy & I were getting stoned i saw movement in her backyard. Low and behold there is a tortoise... her long lost pet who had been mia for over a decade was all of a sudden back in their backyard looking for food. When they called to check in on me & their dog they could not believe that their tortoise had once again shown up & was now munchin on some lettuce i had given it. But it was still there when they got back. The tortoise had been hibernating underground for over 10 years... what caused it to do this? Im not sure but it happened.

It is a tad hard to believe that Ceratosaurus of all species would be the ones to survive into our epoch, considering how in its own time it was being beaten out by the larger, more evolved Allosaurus.

I was surprised that the locals have folk stories about this creature that predates this story that was published by French writer Georges Dupuy published in Je sais tout circa 1908.
