The Thunderbird - Quetzalcoatlus



Quetzalcoatlus (named for the Aztec feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl) was a prehistoric flying animals in the jurrasic era.

It was one of the largest known flying animals of all time with an estimated wingspan of 10 metres or 33 feet.

Quetzalcoatlus was a member of the Azhdarchidae, a family of advanced toothless pterosaurs with unusually long, stiffened necks.

But does it exist in the modern era?? Well some claimed they had seen it.

In November 2007, three Chicago youths planned to go to a place called "the ditch" to make a skateboarding video of themselves, breaking into a restricted area of a national park to get there.

At first it was one boy, Paxton Reed, and his best friend Kevin Weller, but his friend brought along his little brother Cole, because he had "super crazy skills".

Cole soon had to go to the bathroom, and the two were left alone during the hike.

Something large suddenly swoopped down on them, and they were frightened.

The younger boy returned from his rest stop, and believed that the others were lying when they claimed that they saw a huge bird.

Later, however, they found a dead canine (possibly a dog, coyote, or fox), hanging from (or impaled by) a branch.

Disgusted at this sight (though naturally, being young boys, taking their time to poke it with a stick) they continued.

They made it to "the ditch" but Paxton scared Cole, causing him to fall and broke his leg.

The other two left to find help (though Paxton suggests that they leave him behind and go home) and they heard "the bird" from above.

Kevin suddenly got a call on his cellphone by his little brother on which they heared him scream followed by a bird screech.

They frantically headed to his location, but all they found was his skateboard and his helmet on the ground and his shoe hanging in a tree.

In the epilogue, it was revealed that Cole Weller was discovered, badly injured, but still alive, at the bottom of a freeway interpass.

He had no recollection of what happened to him.

In the video footage, large shadow can be seen above the boys, accompanied with a shrieking noise, reminiscent of a red-tailed hawk, as well as prehistoric sounding "crooooooo" noises, making it possible that the creature is of prehistoric origin (possibly Quetzalcoatlus).

In this episode, the creature's behavior is also shown, as it is shown to impale its prey on branches, much like a shrike.

Enjoy the show and thanks for dropping by folks.

Devil Dragon, Australia


A Devil Dragon??


A Komodo Dragon

This is the real story of survivalist Tim Akron.

Till today, his body was never found. But rescuers found his camera containing chilling footage of him being attacked and dragged by a giant Komodo like creature, dubbed the Devil Dragon.

That was the last visual footage of him alive.

Akron was filming a survival show in a remote island near Australia.

The premise is to be dropped into a remote environment with no food, no crew, and no contact with the outside world for seven days, similar to Survivorman.

During a demonstration on how to capture burrowing animals for food, he was bitten on the forearm by an unseen creature. Within a day the bite becomes badly infected, beginning to harm the man as he constantly flees the creature, who was slowly giving chase after biting him, similar to the nature of komodo dragons.

By the 3rd night, Tim was running to a village about 5 miles away to get medical help and then the creature makes its move and attacks.

Tim was dragged away into the bushes after dropping his camera. His body was never found. The following day, natives find his camera equipment covered in saliva; tests show that despite swarming with bacteria, it belonged to a "yet to be identified" reptilian species.

In the chilling video footage, the roars of the creature are constantly heard as the man runs from it.

Female forest ranger saved by Bigfoot!!


Bigfoot



This is not a joke. This is not a movie. This is not made for fun. But this is the real story of Rachel Glen, a forest ranger in the USA. Her job is to ensure illegal hunters do not encroach a protected national park to hunt for bears.

A dark figure or entity can be seen in the woods on several occasions by both the security camera as well as the ranger's camera; in addition, photos were taken as well. The creature's mournful wail can also be heard in the background.

One night, while in her cabin, she was about to be attacked by a poacher armed with a gun. Suddenly a creature saved her. The poacher was later found dead, hanging upside down with bodily injuries.

The creature that saved her is thought to be a Bigfoot - a giant mysterious primate. In Malaysia, Bigfoots are known as Manusia Lenjan, reportedly found in the jungles of Johor, southern Malaysia.
