–A previous post here has looked at Mokele-mbembe, but now MonsterQuest has done a feature as well. Going into the West African jungle in search of a sauropod-like creature with a long neck and tail and a small head, Mokele-mbembe is a territorial, amphibious creature known to attack humans. It is active at night, browsing on leaves.
The first written accounts of the creature came from odd claw marks found in the Congo in 1776. Pygmies are familiar with the beast, but believe that they will surely die if they report it, which puts a bit of a damper on things.
An underwater sonar survey by MonsterQuest found crocodiles, snakes, and “unusual profiles,” some of which were likely tree branches…and the dark and murky waters of the African rivers weren’t conducive to sightings. The remote location of the investigation and the politically dangerous nature of the area also hampered the search…so once again, MonsterQuest came up empty.
Our imagination or not, humanity needs great mysteries. This is yet another one of them…
— Warehouse 13 debuts on the Sci Fi channel July 7th, the story of an underground government storage facility hid away in the Badlands of South Dakota that houses every conceivable kind of strange and harmful device both modern and ancient. Featured are two secret service agents with totally different styles of investigation…
— Featured on UFO Hunters, the Starchild Skull is an unusually elongated and flat skull further distinguished by extremely shallow eye sockets and a total lack of front sinuses, morphology which cannot be accounted for by any known combination of deformities. The skull appears similar to what one might anticipate from the “Greys,” the classic alien stereotype. UFO afficionados speculate that the skull may be that of a Grey alien/human hybrid.
– -Hehe! 
— I was able to catch a Deadliest Warrior marathon, a show I secretly enjoy as kind of an ultimate fighting thing with more cognitive functioning thrown in. I’ve never seen so many pig corpses slashed with a variety of weapons; just wait until they get their revenge! 
– – Heh, you gotta love MonsterQuest for its theatrical episode titles, and this one sounds like a B-movie out of the 50’s! Anyhow, the Monkster is described as up to 8′ tall but nimble; he’d be a great b-ball player. Monkey 
– – Experts originally thought that the Egyptians were the first to domesticate the cat about 3,600 years ago, but recent genetic and archaeological discoveries indicate that cats were being tamed nearly 10,000 years ago in the Mediterranean.
– – Crop circles have long appeared in a variety of designs, mostly geometric. A recent one to appear in England is most unusual in that it has the shape of a jellyfish, and is the only known jellyfish crop circle to have been seen in the world.
– – Do pterosaurs still exist in the 21st century?- -Perhaps in Papua, New Guinea, suggests MonsterQuest. Called the Demon Flyer or Ropens by natives, stories exist concerning the creatures going back to the 16th century. The creature is said to have killed men and scavenged graves, and may boast wingspans of over 30 feet. It is largely nocturnal, and most strangely is in some accounts said to be bioluminescent.
– – Not wishing to alarm you, valued readers, but you may wish to know that a cat has been born in Chongqing, China with wing-like growths on their back…moreover, other cats with this feature were noted in Sichuan province in China in August of 2008 (pictured).
