Two articles about Cryptids

 Something I have thought about .If you found definitive proof what would happen?

What happens if someone finds the Loch Ness Monster?

People have been looking for Nessie for almost 100 years.

Humps have been seen moving across Loch Ness, and strange sounds heard from beneath the surface - but no actual monster.

A four-day "quest" - the latest in a long series of efforts to unravel the mystery - has been held this week.

But what would happen if the Loch Ness Monster was found - besides, of course, creating a global sensation?

The Nessie Contingency Plan sounds like it should be in an episode of TV sci-fi drama The X Files.

In 1985, on the southeastern shore of Oahu, an unusual marine birth at Sea Life Park startled researchers and captured the imagination of biologists worldwide. From the mating of two distinctly different marine mammals—a female bottlenose dolphin named Punahele and a male false killer whale named I’Anui—came a calf unlike any previously seen. The animal, named Kekaimalu, bore characteristics of both species, but conformed to neither.
