What are some cryptids that have proven to be real?

cryptis are animals whose existence is involved in testimony or unofficial evidence, but for which there is no evidence. The cryptids you hear about most are Loch Ness Mosner and Bigfoot, but it seems very likely that these animals are purely fictional and their skeletons will not be seen in museums. Other animals were once considered to be cryptis, but now they are known to exist. These include giant octopuses, platypus, eaves, grizzly-polar bear hybrid and komodo dragon. Similar cases include animals that have been found then exist, such as coelacanth (fish) or animals that exist mythologically and similar fossils were subsequently found such as "hobbit"

The giant octopus is quite perhaps the most famous cryptid that has shown. Giant Octopus have been mentioned in books of natural history since ancient times and both Aristotle and Piliny, the older described the animal that rome toIt has tentacles up to 9 m (30 ft) long. The stories of the giant octopus have long been shared among the sailors, but until 1861, when the French gunboat had met with a giant trunk and tried to capture it, came up with nothing but a tentacle. However, the tentacles were enough to make cryptid interest of the scientific community, which gave him the scientific name Architeuthis , which means a "big octopus" in Latin. During the late 18th century, many giant octopuses were washed up on the banks in Newfoundland and New Zealand, and only recently in its natural environment was filmed in its natural environment, miles below the surface of the ocean.

Another animal that has ever been considered among the crypts whose existence has been confirmed is the eaves, an animal that seems to be a zebra, a body covered with reddish -brown hair and a dark tongue like a giraffe. Europeans lived in a dense rainforest Ituri on the northeastern Congo and heard only about the eaves of the stories of the natives and came to call it "AfricanThe unicorn "for his inexperience. In 1902, Sir Harry Johnston, English, located the skull and a stain of striped skin that scientists used to classify the animal as a relative of the giraffe. The first living specimen was not brought to Europe until 1918.

Another of the famous historical cryptis is a platypus. This Australian mammal is a monotrema, a type of mammals who were once abundant (in Australia), but today only includes platypus and echidna. The platypus has been described as "duck-billed, beaver and otter." Instead of giving birth to live young, such as virtually every other mammal, it lays eggs. It also has one of the most amazing poison of any animal in the world, injection into attackers with a promontory on its hind leg. In 1789, the captain of the English sailor John Hunter sent as evidence of the existence of the animal. Scientists thought that Pelt was a taxidermist, and initially very doubted his truthfulness. But over the course of two years, encouraged by other reports of eyewitnesses,Scientists began to accept the animal as a biological reality. They even cut the first pelt to check it to see if there were no stitches.
