It’s that time of year again!
Below is a round up of the 10 most viewed posts on Cryptoworld over the last year. UFOs and Thylacines are still hot topics — what will be hot for 2012?
Cryptozoology
A massive crocodile weighing one tonne has been caught by villagers in a remote area of the Philippines. At 21ft (6.4m), it is thought to be one of the biggest ever caught alive.
So the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) has finally been cleared of killing sheep – but the news comes 75 years too late! New studies suggests the Tasmanian Tiger’s jaw was not strong enough to kill sheep and the bounty on their heads was unjust!
This month also marks the sad death of the last captive Tasmanian Tiger, know as Benjamin.
OK, I’ve finally got around to sorting through some old video footage of our Deathworm expedition to Mongolian in 2005! Yep, only taken me 6 years!

A real out-of-place cryptozoology find – a wallaby has been caught in Lyme Regis (UK) by an off-duty fireman. The wallaby is thought to be the same animal seen in a garden by a woman in Dorset.
It is unclear where the animal came from but the RSPCA said a number of them known to live wild in the UK.

Unfortunately there are no pictures, but the cat appears to have killed a roe deer, which it was eating at the time of the sighting.
