#i really hope mothman isn't real cause his prey of choice seems to be anything large dog sized and up

[hdawg1995]

so chewing on cryptidzoology and how its morphed to be exclusively mythical and strange creatures which makes people forget the very real facts that the Okapi used to be a cryptid and how the Thylacine went extinct because of it's cryptid status.

like its a actual category of animal and yeah the weird ones are in it but also everyone acting like animals have to be strange to be cryptids both ignore that fact that the Madagascan pygmy hippopotamus used to be a cryptid. it was an animal we couldn't prove existed until we found bones of it and science progressed enough for us to DNA match it (or in this case not match it to anything).

anyway Mothman is a cryptid which means he is a species of large humanoid moths and if we don't act rather than being proven to exist like the okapi they will go extinct like the madagascan pygmy hippo or WORSE there is only one mothman left and it will be male and we would know nothing about it and would simply have to watch as it dies of old age like the thylacine.
