No Archive On Sea Monsters: Royal Navy News Shopper
Details of the Royal Navy's policy on unusual sightings on the ocean have emerged in response to a Freedom of Information request. The Navy does not maintain any form of central repository of information purely devoted to sea monsters. Sailors can make a note of their sightings in the ship's logs, the Navy said, but there is no requirement for them to do so. Sightings reported by the public are passed on to the UK Hydrographic Office, which provides charts and other navigational services for mariners. Elsewhere, Dale Drinnon has Musings on Species over at Cryptozoology Online, the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine, gets the Yankee Magazine Editors: “Best Quirky Museum” award.
What Happens If You Kill A Mystery Cat? Cryptomundo
Some people in the field who might be tempted to shoot a mystery cat if they see one fear that the government might charge them with some crime. Should they really worry?

Apparently the creatures are attracted to the scent of menstruation. Elsewhere, Lindsay Selby details The Dingonek, a walrus-like creature found in parts of Africa, Kenya in particular.

NM Giant Owl Cryptomundo
In an account from 1986, a family's travels through the remote parts of New Mexico in the middle of the night is made memorable by the sight of an unusually large owl standing in the road. Estimated to be a good three feet in height, the father thought to swerve to avoid it but instead had to stay the course or risk injury. Although the large bird of prey was able to take to flight, the family recalled that it bounced off the windshield and roof and strangely was not seen thereafter, leading them to wonder, due to a recent loss in the family, if the owl was more an omen than real. Elsewhere, Big cat sighting leaves experienced hillwalker baffled, and A Giant Oarfish, The Sea Serpent Of Yore, Washes Up in Sweden.
