Incredible how our species was able to build the most amazing, comprehensive resource of all human knowledge and culture, freely accessible to all….
…and then willingly destroyed it in six months to make a handful of snake oil salesmen richer.

Last year, the Department of Interior orchestrated the killing of approximately 1,150 bison, a fifth of the entire Yellowstone population — the last wild herd in the world — to prevent them from roaming beyond the park and competing with ranchers.
On National Bison Day, we celebrate this majestic symbol of strength and resilience. The bison represents our rich American heritage and is one of the greatest conservation success stories of all time.

Another fact that I think probably strikes people as similarly odd: there were Greek Buddhists before there were Chinese Buddhists.

This is a great example of how we tend to misunderstand "religion" as some "additional" program which was formerly placed atop our lives and which is now absent, leaving us with "secular" culture.
But the line between "religious" and "secular" life is basically a Western conceit

I gave Rosie a stuffed sock, which he promptly fell in love with, and they had (fake) eggs, which he lovingly cares for

its very cool that youtube is the largest collection of video footage ever assembled and it's borderline impossible to search. rocking up to the library of alexandria and the guy keeps showing you the same three scrolls and standing in your way if you try to look at anything else

modern animals being mimics of extinct ones is definitely, undeniably the best paleoart trope

ARCHAEO CRYPTOZOOLOGY
Egyptian Sobekhotep's Tomb fresco shows an asiatic offering of an large bird head.
Greek Pausanias describes dangerous birds roaming in the arabian wild lands.
Could a real animal, similar to the extinct Arabian Ostrich, be the origin of the griffin mythos?

This is the greatest mix of compelling and absolutely insane stories in a cryptozoological book in my opinion. Highly highly entertaining stuff and a fantastic book

The cat of many colors is a Tennessee cryptid described as a large feline with a red head and paws, a red stripe running down its back, and a golden-brown body with black stripes and spots. Karl Shuker reported that a photograph of one had allegedly been taken, but was sold.

This young female wolf traveled 1,482 miles (2,385 kilometers) from Wisconsin to Manitoba this past year! A great example of how dispersal connects wolf populations that seem to be crazy far apart—just check out the maps.
ALT This is not a photo of the wolf in the story...its a wolf from our area. We just included it so that there was a nice photo to go along with the maps!
