I think that a bird very similar to the traditional description of Roc is the most plausible. The elephant bird (like an ostrich but very very larger) actually existed and his extinction is datable in XVI century. Plus studies found out that probably the elephant bird and the ostrich (and other birds like Emus) had a common ancestor that could fly.

>>19225338
No, Godzilla is not a plausible cryptic. Also, the '54 film wasn't based on an actual creature, you dingus. It was based of a boat whose crew got irradiated due to a nearby nuclear test.

A real life creature the size of Godzilla could not even leave the ocean and stand up due to its sheer size. A giant monster attacking a city is physically impossible in real life.

>>19225380
muscles are a thing, you know

>>19225402
Muscles could not support a 50,000 (His actual weight given by Toho) creature like Godzilla. Do you know elephants have such big stocky legs? Because they're fucking heavy.

The way Godzilla stands upright and moves in the films are physically impossible. And that's not even mentioning the fact that he fires a radioactive laser beam from his fucking mouth.

Bigfoot or whatever, completely plausible that a hominid may not have evolved as much as humans, living in the American continent.
Sighting may be extremely rare due to the fact that they have been forced to neat extinction due to competition with native Americans.

>>19225420
the idea of a creature that large surviving without a large population is hard to believe.
large creatures we know about that have less than a few thousand survivors are in danger of extinction without humans forcing them to fuck

seems like the larger the creature, the more population you need to keep your genetics viable

now, say Bigfoot is a lonely, near-extinct creatures with a crazy long lifespan and that precludes population issues
but is kinda depressing...

>>19225577
because Gojira is 200x bigger than a dinosaur.. depending on which one you're looking at
structural strength does not increase proportional to size

the structure for a 100m bridge would not work for a 1000m bridge. it's why we will never see insects the size of cars. they simply can't support the weight

unless you're saying Godzilla is made of materials that defy all known biology and physics... or that he's only the size of a T-rex. then it's not possible

big foot duh. how much has to be said a large primate thats bipedal. fossil record shows that shit was known to occur

kraken. big octopis in the ocean. yea seems reasonable

this is to easy OP your challenge is to simple im going for points now

ningen could be a offshoot of cephalopods . many octopus species have the ability to control texture and color of their surface. in the water with refraction on the surface looking in it may seem to form new limbs and drastically shape shift but its just more developed chromatophores allowing more precise color control and pattern control. also it could be large as many giant squid species exist and experiments on small squid species seem to indicate that devoid of visible line of sight they can semi mirror ground patterns they are on top of not just above but right on top of. if this was a automatic response then light near the surface which was partially diffused and partially guided by the change in the surface might be confused for lower ground patterns. think about a pool at night. that odd wavy line light at the bottom after some one jumps in. that might make limbs forms on the skin

A couple are pretty plausible:

>Kraken
Giant and colossal squids are known to exist so there's definitely the possibility of something bigger lurking down there.

>Bigfoot
Given how actually remote some wildnerness is, and presuming that Bigfeet are communal and intelligent and actively hide from us, their existence is perfectly plausible.

I remember reading about how they ravaged Tokyo. The rebuilding effort was super expensive.

Not exactly a cryptid, but I think the most stable place for life has to be the ocean crust. it's warm and wet for miles down over like 70% of the planet. that has to be where life started and bred and survived to be robust enough out in the open ocean and then air.

There's actual cryptids who turned out to be real, like the platypus. The first people who saw that thought it was some freak duck hybrid, and nobody believed them.

There's also the main issue that many species people give as examples of cryptids that were proved real were never really cryptids. A cryptid is an animal with an unsubstantiated existence, basically something people tell stories about with no real proof. The "real" cryptids people talk about are pretty much all species that were undocumented by white explorers (but known as real to locals) until specimens were collected. That's very different than the situation with cryptids, which people actively look for and can't find evidence of. The only thing even remotely close to an actual cryptid that was later proven to be real is the giant squid.

>>19223995

>>19225577
Because of the square-cube law.

Imagine you have a square, and each side is 3 inches long. You want to find the area of this square. So you do.
>3in * 3in = 9in
Now you have a cube with the exact same dimensions. You want to find the volume
>3in * 3in * 3in = 27in
That's a big difference from just adding in an extra 3, but what happens when you scale this up?
>150in * 150in = 22,500 in
>150*150*150 = 3,375,500 in
It scales exponentially. Each time you add more area, the volume raises disproportionately. Now apply this to your bones. Big bones means lots of volume, but very little actual substance. Basically Godzilla's bones would be so low density that he would collapse as soon as he got out of the water. This is why Andre the Giant had to use crutches.

We invented everything you use daily (wherever you live in the world). Cars, internet, electricity... stop me if you start to understand...

i had an interesting discussion with a zoologist about colossal squid.

basically there is a rule about mammals that means you don't necessarily get smarter just because you have a bigger brain. (this is why whales and elephants aren't ten times smarter than humans). instead it has to do with your brain-body ratio and your cardiovascular system and other shit.

however, this rule (sorry, i'm not a biologist so this is all secondhand understanding) does not apply to cephalopods. as far as we can tell, the bigger they get, the smarter they get. "giant" squids, vaguely human-sized, seem to be almost as smart as a dog. in the rare encounters with them we have had they seem curious and interested in playing with humans.

colossal squid have basically no live interactions with humans at all and are mostly known from a few dead specimens or sucker-scars on sperm whales and things. we have very little idea how big they can get or how smart they can get.

N'kay. >The primary precursor network, the ARPANET, initially served as a backbone for interconnection of regional academic and military networks in the 1980s. As I said, the ARPANET component is American.
>Early international collaborations on the ARPANET were rare As you (hopefully) (but probably don't) know, ARPANET was essentially an inter-networking between universities with heavy investments in military programs, and was essentially a 'red telephone hotline' for info relay considered more secure as it was still a very closed system, and lacked the hallmark degree of protocol homogeneity intrinsic to the modern WWW. (It was still cracked a couple of times, though.) Again, *a component*, not the thing itself. Europe was experimenting with X.25, etc.
In case you're still gonna go on about ARPANET = seed = the thing itself, >DARPA then contracted with BBN Technologies, Stanford University, and the University College London to develop operational versions of the protocol on different hardware platforms. Note how 2/3 of those are British institutions; further, >Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee... is an English engineer and computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He made a proposal for an information management system in March 1989 and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet in mid-November the same year. A Briton, who did this with CERN, which is pan-European. All of this, in turn, was immediately build on groundwork laid and started by Alan Turing, another Briton. Like I said, a communal Western Bloc undertaking, of which ARPANET was a component, but the immediately-recognisable "as the Net" parts are all Anglo/Euro.

You mean Alessandro Volta, after whom the "volt" is named? Or >such people as Alexander Graham Bell, Ottó Bláthy, Thomas Edison, Galileo Ferraris, Oliver Heaviside, Ányos Jedlik, William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, Charles Algernon Parsons, Werner von Siemens, Joseph Swan, Reginald Fessenden, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, electricity turned from a scientific curiosity into an essential tool for modern life, becoming a driving force of the Second Industrial Revolution?

>recognize that the U.S. was the epicenter of the industrial revolution
That is just blatantly, jingoistically false. It was literally the Midlands of England and the Ruhrgebiet/Rheinland; like, they preceded American developments by circa 100 years; America's only got off the ground due to (some of the first cases of! they 'invented' this, at least) industrial espionage, and even then paled in the face of the Victorian and Georgian industrial-imperial machine until the Interwar period. Some American industrial centres were even called the "Rhinelands/Ruhrs of America."

This is an inarguable, well know fact, free of all nationalism and requiring only basic reading comprehension to apprehend. You should have been taught this decades ago in your school system. *You should know this.*

For starters, anything that lives in the sea is infinitely more plausible than something on land. Undiscovered species on land are probably just tiny frogs and birds and insects, easy to overlook. Anything larger would be almost impossible to miss. In the ocean, though, we have no idea what's out there. Add to that how some sea creatures (Crustaceans? Jellyfish I think?) can basically regenerate and live forever as long as nothing kills them, and also can grow all through their life as long as there's enough food available. Some day we'll descend into Mariana's trench and find some silly goobus that's just been hanging out down there since the dawn of time.

>>19257521
>infinity more plausible

well then either land cryptids are completely inplausible, in which case no cryptids exist beyond the realm of human imagination, OR the sea is crawling with all sorts of freaky monsters, or at least it should be, seeing as how they are infinitely plausible.

Sea Monsters.

I mean, Krakens can be explained by Colossal Squids, Leviathans can be explained by Giant Whales, Sea Serpents might possibly be Frilled Sharks.

I would say a good number of other sea monsters can probably be explained as misidentification of known creatures, isolated survivors of races thought extinct (e.g. Coelacanth), or deep sea creatures that haven't been scientifically classified yet.

or maybe they did exist, but we fucked up their home and they migrated to remote areas, away from us. Unable to adapt, extincted slowly. Maybe there are some left that got really good at avoiding hoomans or perhaps adapted enough to survive extreme weather and so live now on the few unaccessible areas for us on earth today.

Ford applied vertical integration to automotive production, but he invented neither of those components; in turn, cars taking of over public transportation in the US is a phenomenon vastly larger and more complex than any one person. The car boom as a whole globally is still ultimately sourceable directly to the work of Karl and Bertha Benz, with the modern version owing much to non-American companies such as Volkswagen, Citroën and Nissan.

But please, keep being mad about my "obsessive defensiveness" as you rant at length about the size of your nationalist e-peen in defense of a summertard.

With so much of the ocean unexplored, im sure there are probably some caves BELOW the sea bed, maybe home to something that comes out only to feed on large animals that die and sink (or get injured and sink). Then this creature goes back in it's cave after the big meal to conserve energy.

I can't imagine what deep-sea gigantism could do to some non-extinct cousin of an ancient species who's been chilling in a cave the size of a large city for thousands of years.

Maybe a tectonic plate shifted and sealed a few breeding pairs off... and maybe another shift opens them back up to the open ocean where they flourish due to all the newfound food available. And maybe their harsh environment gave them some badass evolutionary advantages making them perfect predators in their new "wild" home.

Once they realize they don't have to conserve energy by going dormant, they can now hatch the thousands of eggs they've built up and stored over a couple millenia.

Did I mention that a large portion of their undersea cave was dry, so they have no problems on land like most marine animals (except daylight blinds them - but no worries - they hunt like sharks and echo-locate too).
