A gentleman in Australia encountered an unusual, stiff-tailed creature while walking along a trail and had the presence of mind to photograph it with his cellphone.

And if you want to educate yourself this year on cryptids, there is a bumper crop of worthwhile programs on the roster as Cryptozoology TV and Film Projects Burst Forth in 2019. Keep your eye on the Travel Channel as it presents several worthwhile offerings for us crypto-nerds. Already our favorite is the January 2 episode of Mysteries at the Museum featuring an interview with Loren Coleman from the International Cryptozoology Museum.(CM)
