Ok, 1 at a time. . .
Tasmanian Tiger - I thought this was a well documented, now extinct creature (or, as some members pointed out, possibly just endangered)? I seem to
remember seeing videos of them in High School.
Jersey Devil - Could be a real creature (obscure bat, maybe?). Could also be a conglomerate taxidermy creation. I think I may have actually seen one
of these on a nature show once, but I'll be damned if I can remember where it's from or what it's called.
"Spectral Ape Thingy" - Most likely the camera flash reflecting off something. I have photographs of myself with "apparitions" in the foreground.
I know these particular pictures to simply be a weird trick of the light reflecting off of glossy/metallic objects in the picture.
2 Faced Cat - I believe this to be a sad variation of conjoined twins. This condition is more common in amphibians and reptiles, but I've seen it in
humans, too. I've also seen (personally) a dog with 5 legs. It had 3 front legs, 2 of which were fused together. The fifth leg was pretty much
useless and just a burden to the creature.
Tiny Monkey - Probably a very young shrew or something. Probably not actually a primate, but I have no idea. Never seen anything quite like it.
Beast of Bosnia - Looks like whatever it is, it's had the crap beaten out of it. Kinda reminds me of a mammal that's missing it's fur. Like
someone burned a giant sea otter or something. ;-) Too dirty/disfigured for me to hazard a guess.
Sea Serpent - Definitely something in the water, may not even be an animal from what I can see.
Giant Fish - Doesn't look like anything I've seen. I won't hazard a guess on this one, either.
Anyone have any thoughts on anything other than the Tasmanian Tiger?
