May 24th, 2017: International Cryptozoology Museum
Some people don’t put much stock in Cryptozoology, species that remain unverified by science.
In fact some think people who collect this stuff are maniacs, and they’re right… Portland Maineiacs. Quote:

I think this line's mostly filler.

There used to be a place on the Seattle waterfront called Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe, and they had some pretty freaky display items. I remember two cased mummies in the back (no tails on those) and a dried blue whale penis hanging from the ceiling. It was like 25 years ago I got to see the place, which may not even still be there.
The fish on the sign in the photo above is one of the great stories of cryptozoology. Coelacanths were believed to have been extinct for millions of years until a fisherman near the Comoro Islands (I think they're off the African coast near Madagascar) pulled one up in the 1930s. Now we not only know they're still there, we have underwater footage of live ones AND we've discovered there are at least 2 species! The most recent trend I saw in wandering around the edges of the cryptozoology world is every time something weird shows up someone screams 'Chupacabra!' I've seen a dead otter, a dead raccoon, and a hairless or extremely short-haired live gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargentus) all called chupacabras. |

It's still there, at least as of last summer, Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe. The waterfront in Seattle is a war zone. Well, not true, there's some heavy construction in the area, just... endless madness. The Coleman ferry dock is undergoing changes, the viaduct is coming down, the tunnel made by Big Bertha is complete but her dismantlement is only begun, and we're getting a new seawall. To say that the traffic patterns have been disrupted would be a massive understatement. You would have to be more curious than a pack of cats to make it to Ye Olde Shoppe recently.
I'll check specifically the next time I'm there.

What was it that stopped ol' Bertha in her tracks a while back?
As I recall, there was a bit of a mystery as to just what she had encountered.
