Man-eater or Only Killer? Cryptozoology Online
Not all unknown lifeforms inhabiting Earth are animals; some are from the plant world, fitting into a cryptobotany mold instead of cryptozoology. Such is the subject covered here by Ivan Mackerle as he calls on historical accounts that seem to have originated in the late years of the 19th century and still persist today. Mackerle describes what has been reported about Madagascar's man-eating trees in the past and describes his own dangerous quest to find these mysterious trees. Meanwhile, some commentary is generated by a 'Giant' Anaconda Picture that probably owes its supposed gargantuan size to the nearness of the camera, and Lindsay Selby points out how a 1993 sighting of one of the world's most famous cryptids differs from other reports of the creature in Nessie Sighting?
From today's maverick science reports: Robin McKie joins the science writers who have lately given time to the amazing discovery of the little people who once inhabited the Indonesian island of Flores. What do the remains of this diminutive human tell us about how today's humans have evolved? Meanwhile, there's a planetary mystery between the Earth and Mercury, and that mystery hasn't been solved despite several space missions in search of answers. The question remains, if Venus was formed from the accretion disk that formed the rest of our Solar System, why is it so different? Perhaps we should listen closer to what ancient stargazers had to say about Venus, as reported by Stephen Smith in Venus: Flame Broiled Pressure Cooker.
