Do you believe in Mythical Creatures such as:

[MichaelScott]

imo i think there is a difference between a panda being a mythical creature and bigfoot or the loch ness monster. i think there is a better chance that a ghost exists opposed to bigfoot. with a ghost being an energy force. i dont know what that means.

No, there really isnt a big difference. It is possible that there is some sort of undiscovered bear or pig or something that people are making into a really fantastic sort of creature. However, the stories of a giant squid seem no more outlandish to me than the stories of a giant sea creature yet unidentified, for example.

they all sound outlandish until we figure it out. Do all of them exist? No, probably not or they are confused with something else, but I HATE how SMUG and ARROGANT some people are who ridicule people for being open minded.

The chacoan peccary in Paraguay, and the giant forest hog in Africa have both been confirmed as real new species. Both of these species are now recognized by science, even though both of them were once the subject of much ridicule.

Another "mythological" giant hog turned out to be a real animal, but it was something other than a pig. This was the pgymy hippo, which looks like a cross between a pig and a miniature hippo.

Likewise, people were ridiculed by "scientists" when they reported sightings of giant sharks. Guess what? Yep. One species, the megamouth shark, has now been declared real by science. Only eleven bodies have been found in the last thirty years and little is known of this shark. The megamouth grows to over fifteen feet long.

i had a good post but it wouldnt take, anyhow... you due real soon HR? good luck i agree with u that when things are discovered the reality does not live up to the hype.

The platypus was considered a myth. So was the komodo dragon.

I would say that those two lived up to the hype...

How much more fantastic could you get than describing seeing an animal that looks like a beaver, but with a duck's bill and it lays eggs?

Or a little dragon?

They both exist, though.
