Seeing Cryptids: The Problems

This is nice. A commenter on Doubtful News put together a picture using a still image of the Teacup Lion inserted into a larger image of the garden. This shows the species or breed known as Teacup Lion in its natural environment... a backyard. :D

Now there are witness reports saying that the Teacup Lion has a cub. I'd call it a kitten, but then that's just me.
 
The 'footers are too extreme one way. The skeptics too extreme the other. The truth is always somewhere in between: It is a cat/lion crossbreed.
 
Loch Ness Monster

Here is an excellent video taken at Loch Ness that demonstrates the "many humped" monster, i.e., boat waves, a phenomena that contributes to "sighting" reports. Pick up any pro-Nessie book and there will be eyewitness accounts and drawings that pretty much match the images in this video, especially if seen from a distance.

If I take the time to set up a skofftically-based tax exempt excursion with a Polaris

On the premise of promising NOT to find BigFooT

Am I proving a negative or am I being a big jerk?

By the looks of it, the "lion" is not much taller than the flower bed/fence that it walks in front of on that driveway.
That appears to be 4 bricks high - about 1 foot high.
Pretty much fits the size for a housecat.

A lion cub could be that size, but it's limb/body proportions don't fit that image in the video. IMO.

Been there and witnessed the same.

Those boat wake ripples can appear 15mins or more after a boat has passed. Basically as the wake rebounds from the side of the loch colliding again in the centre - where there is no longer a boat near the wake, or indeed, in sight.

Milwaukee law enforcement is still full-speed-ahead in their search for a lion. Headlines are saying that it slipped through their perimeter and they can't find it. I have not seen anything about it being a housecat (which it obviously is) in spite of the easy availability to investigate its size based on the flowers which are right there in the yard which must have now been visited by many reporters. It's almost surreal to watch this ongoing and expensive trainwreck of incompetence and credulity. Oh, the police are doing exactly what they should do when you have a lion in your midst, but there is no lion.

The funny thing is that there may be some cops who have now seen this specific housecat but pay no mind because it isn't a lion.

Is it now way too late from a sociopolitical position to publicly announce that the lion is a yellow housecat? Would that enrage the witnesses and the citizenry of the city? Would they say that there is a cover up or conspiracy for the purpose of calming the people? How does a government explain mass hysteria to the population which is operating on mass hysteria?

Well that was my first thought.
Go and stand next to the flowers and fence to see how big the housecat was.

Obviously if you are going to commit a crime, do it in Milwaukee, 'cos their detectives don't seem to be very clueful.

There was yet another sighting yesterday. Where did it show up this time? Less than two blocks away from the sightings on Saturday and Sunday.
 
Look, Milwaukee, send the SWAT teams back to the barn. If that chain link fence in the video/still is 6-ft, those daylilies are a bit more than 2-ft, and the lion walking behind them is about half to two-thirds that height.


Jesus Christ, it's a housecat. Or maybe an alleycat. Put the guns away.
 
I think we need to keep our minds open until Sykes is through with his DNA study. Test for that polar bear DNA. Get a second edition of his book out with a new chapter too.
 
I think an interesting question is why would Sykes trade on his mainstream scientific credibility (which took a hit, no doubt, with the yeti-bear fiasco), for traction in the bigfoot community? To sell books? Perhaps. While he is not actively promoting himself as pro-bigfoot, he is doing little to combat that growing image.

Why would he not be more like Disotell? Friendly to the bigfoot community, insofar as willing to test putative evidence, content to be neither friend nor foe, but not deliberately leaving ambiguous footnotes for the footers to prop up?

This is a good time to reference my favorite children's book, A Lion in The Woods. I strongly urge you to read the review. It couldn't be more appropriate than now.
"At 5:28 P.M. a lion, described as a 'huge, ferocious-appearing beast,' was seen entering the woods..."

So said the article in the Daily Blade. Imagine! Such news! Right there in the paper, so it must be true, right?

Maybe not. No one actually saw the lion. Sure, one "eye"-witness smelled it, someone saw the tuft of a tail flicker in the bushes, another heard a distant roar, but no one saw the whole lion.

[author] Maurice Dolbier...uses psychology to explore how animals (and people) can be fooled and how rumors get started...If you ever wondered just how reliable bigfoot, ghost, or UFO tales are, this timeless book will provide considerable insight and entertain you as well.
