Maybe the tasmanian tiger?
I found this video by chance. A spanish team supposedly filmed this animal in Australia during the late 90s. I cannot really allocate it, it looks a bit like a hyena. But are there any large predatory mammals in Australia? Maybe a dingo? But this doesn't really look like a dog...

I agree with Dilophosaurus. I think Thylacines could be able to exist in the remote parts of Tasmania. I always had a thing for Thylacines, they are one of my favorite animals.

I say small cryptids can have a higher chance of existing, creatures that live in water too like the loch Ness (though it's probably lived in the ocean if it existed at all)

A giant octopus or squid of some form (bigger than Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) on the bottom floor of the sea somewhere.

I believe that Bigfoot could exist. It would be basically a big monkey or something like that. From this photo, it looks like a gorilla.  This photo is from the Patterson film of bigfoot, and they later revealed it was a hoax. However, I'm not averse to the possibility of it existing, indeed I hope that it does. Other creatures that I see as plausible include various oceanic cryptids and those that live within the deep jungle or other similarly uncharted and remote regions. For conversation's sake, I'm not sure whether the olgoi-khorkhoi (aka Mongolian death worm) exists but I see it as certainly possible and almost "romantic" (due to the worm monsters from sci-fi). So I hope and dread the possibility of its existence at the same time. just putting it out there -- no one has ever credibly ebunked the Patterson-Gimlin film |

What’s so bad about the explanation of the human dressed up as a gorilla? That thing behaves unrealistically for a primate that’s supposedly so reclusive and shy, its gait and movements look very human-like, and its fur does look like a gorilla costume.
Imo bigfoot’s existence is quite unlikely.
I realize there’s a lot of sparsely populated wilderness in western North America, but enough for something so well-popularized and searched for not to have been found solid evidence for? And how would a great ape other than a human come there in the first place? That very assumption would most certainly presuppose a series of intermediate forms that have not been found to have existed too (yetis for example), in order for something that evolved from African or Southern Asian ancestors to migrate through arctic regions into the Americas. How come, then, that there are no other great apes there, in climates that are actually popular with other primates (tropic rainforests)? Also, being a bipedal ape, wouldn’t they have probably had to undergo a similar development to us in terms of ecology and intelligence, which would mean they’d long since have made contact or simply outgrown their hiding places? While I’m at it, could a large ape in the US even sustain a sufficient gene pool for sustaining a population while still being few enough to not be found?

While I’m at it, could a large ape in the US even sustain a sufficient gene pool for sustaining a population while still being few enough to not be found? quite a few things - the original suit has never come to light - the man who claims he was in the suit has changed his story on what the suit was made of, time of day, location, the route he walked, etc. - arm extensions were not a thing in the time period this piece of film was shot just to name a few they didn't have very much practical furs to work with to make an anatomically correct female suit(why would they go all of the trouble to do such anyway?) here's what a 1967 gorilla suit looks like  it really looks nothing like the subject in the movie here, this man explains quite wll why it's unlikely that "patty" was just Bob hieronomus in a suit don't get me wrong, i have doubts as well. but this film here, it's certainly intriguing. and hey, let's face it, a giant hairy hominid roaming our wildest terrains is certainly an interesting prospect  |

The fur on the Patterson suit looks more like the Toho King Kong than normal gorilla suits.

imo a gorilla suit from 1967 is out of the question. as is something like the toho king kong suit -- there appears to be too many dissimilarities for my liking.

anything's possible, i suppose. but don't you think a company would come forward with this suit? surely, this would be the world's most notorious hoax -- the authenticity of this film has been discussed readily since it was first presented. if it was a hoax, why has no one come forward claiming responsibility, suit in hand?

"anything's possible, i suppose." You make it sound like the video being a hoax is the less likely option. Why has the suit never turned up? I don't know. What I do know is that I've never seen any peer-reviewed scientific publications confirming the existence of any Bigfoot. Which are supposedly large and widespread. |

So, if this man who had to write a bad check to rent a camera did the same with this suit he really ha no means to pay for, wouldn't this studio/ special effects artist call him out publicly? food for thought. There's been dna papers, but yeah i get your train of thought. and perhaps i should state this again -- i'm not totally convinced bigfoot exists. it's an entertaining thought, though. |

Suits can be lost or destroyed, someone could have made one themselves, the original maker wanted to keep the matter secrect. Whatever. There have been peer reviewed scientific DNA papers that confirm Bigfoot's existence? Can you present some? |
