To be fair, Siberia's rather remote and mammoths are able to survive with relatively little food (Wrangel Island for instance).
I personally don't believe in them still living as much as I'd like to, but it's certainly not off the table.

Wrangel Island would have had relatively little resources by virtue of being a small island (and, unsurprisingly, it doesn't seem to have supported a very large number of mammoths at any given time). Siberia is massive, but if it's still a remote region with little resources to live off of, that's kind of a different issue (one of resource distribution than carrying capacity of the land).
I think we can be pretty sure there are no more mammoths today.

I don't know, I could buy some cryptic stealth predator to survive because they are designed to avoid being seen such as thylacine or homotherium, however I think a loud blundering pachyderm would be too hard to hide, even in Russia.

Homotherium's more of a cursorial predator, though, not so much of a stealth one. At least, not as much as most other felids.

Ehh, thats the highest, I could see. As in I don't think anything larger is out there as there are numerous reports of jungle sabertooths all over the world. I feel its homotherium for many reasons if it exist which I am honestly skeptical of, but I don't see anything larger than homotherium being out there on land.

So I did a search for the 2 mountains where the Papuan Devil-Pig was sighted at in the early 20th century, and lo and behold:  They're close together. I think this could be viable. |

The most likely cryptid of all in my opinion is Mngwa.
However many others can indeed be real
Artrellia ( tree doweling lizard from Papua New-guinea) might very well be real.
I also believe that creature from Tasmania might be real despite the fact that all of you will ridicule me at best. The reason why is because one of the people talking about it was a biologist.
The most bizarre creature I heard about was what two policeman saw while patrolling outskirts of Philadelphia. Even though this creature seems very strange and by that factor alone its existence comes to question. The two policemen that found it and their two colleagues seem to be reliable witnesses.
The other animal that is interesting is Bergman's bear. I don't know how real it is but it seems perfectly possible.
Nandi bear might very well be real even though there might be more than one animal hidden behind it.
And yes I do believe that sea serpent might be real or at least was.
Mongolian death worm might be real despite its unusual features.

Mongolian death worm has been confirmed to be a sand boa.

So what would you say Mngwa is leopard- lion cross? Somehow I doubt it.
I never heard of sand boa being venomous or poisonous
And Tasmanian creature is too different from other animals to be confused with any other know creature

He never said anything about Mngwa nor this Tasmanian creature (which I'm not even sure what it is you're referring to; thylacine?). Sand boas also don't emit electrical discharges powerful enough to kill a horse, nor do they prey upon camels and horses ( link). But obviously those are embellishments. Toxicity can easily be too. |

The man-eater of Tasmania was probably an aberrant Leopard displaying unusual size and pelage, while many other killings were done by witch doctors posing as Mngwa (which is a famous legendary creature) to capitalize on the fear of local people.
The venom and acid of the deathworm is obviously an embellishment.
What Tasmanian creature? The thylacine? Because while I do agree there is a chance it still exists the thylacine CAN be confused with dogs and foxes, especially in poor viewing conditions.

Mngwa was known to native people for thousands of years. It would have to mean that all those sightings were of giant leopards in very strange morphs. Natives clearly differentiate between Mngwa lion and a leopard. There was a piece of fur that was examined by professionals. They concluded that it belonged to unknown species of a cat. Because it was done at the late nineteen century early twentieth century the DNA testing was not available at the time but opinion of those professionals still holds some weight in my opinion. You would not be able to convict someone based on this evidence because of lack of genetics but short of that all the factors are in place.
But we could talk for long time without convincing each other. And I will admit that I personally never seen Mngwa especially because I was never in Africa.
But that does not mean mngwa does not exist.
In any case I'm going to leave this site before I say something I can't take back.
Which is too bad because I enjoyed this place and it was long time since i enjoyed anything
Good Bye.

It was not considered a real animal until the 1920's.
Said tuft of hair was identified as "probably feline", not as that of an unidentified big cat. It could have been lion or leopard.
