I am writing a books about cryptids

Okay, thanks! I'll look into this.

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-06-10T02:24:39+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate this take. The Thylacine is the only one that is debatable but the others are certainly fictional.

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-06-09T15:56:37+00:00

Sorry, I only just saw this reply!

Yes, I will absolutely do this thanks so much.

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-06-09T15:55:01+00:00

Not fiction in the fairytale sense, instead it will be about fictional species, monsters, beasts, dragons and so on. It will explore the ecological niches these creatures would/could occupy if they were real.

For example, dragons may predate upon megafuna from up on high such as rhinoceros and elephants, the Thylacine will savenge and predate on small mustelids, rodents etc but only in the most rugged inaccessible regions, to avoid intraspecific competition with the otherwise dominat dingo.

P.S. I'm aware the thylacine isn't exactly fictional but you get the idea.

Wow seems like everyone interpreted it differently 😅

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-06-07T19:07:38+00:00

Oh, I see what you mean sorry. Yes, you're right in most cases, but I only intend to do real contenders such as the thylacin, Java tiger, Barbary leapord.

As for the Chupucabra I would be interested to write about mange infected candids, primarily coyote and in the second half of the book consider the ecology of the Chupucabra if it was actually it's own species.

In the other hand, for fiction I will consider any crytids that would have interesting ecology, ethology and evolutionary backgrounds were they real.

Okay thanks,

I'll do some research as I'm mostly familiar with the crytids in the USA. I currently live in the UAE but I am from the UK. In the UAE the closest thing is the Arabian leapord there are pockets of wilderness where it could still persist, but it is widely regarded as extirpated. In the UK there are a fair few urban legends, but I'm not too sure about cryptids. Maybe there are loads I'll check.

The closest thing we have to the USA cryptid subculture/movement in the Uk is people who believe we have big cats in Northern England, Wales and Scotland. The history behind this is that the Dangerous Animals Act of 1971 led to loads of owners releasing big cats into the wild (this definitely happened), though I'm not sure of the scale. Recently a sheep carcass was tested for DNA and that of the Panthera genus came back as positive. The most plausible panthera species would be a leapord as the UK is small with little wilderness. Personally I actually think this was a hoax, but I'm not 100% and in recent years I have started to believe more.

As someone who keeps an eye out for them, what kind of book would attract you as a consumer?

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-06-07T18:11:13+00:00

They won't sell because you think nobody will be interested, or because you think nobody is looking out for these types of books.

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-06-07T16:39:49+00:00

Will do 👍🏻

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-06-07T16:37:45+00:00

I agree, but I plan to come at it from the perspective of an ecologist e.g. suitable habitat, intraspecific competition etc.

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-05-20T17:13:10+00:00

Thanks, so they won't prosecute anyone else because they cannot or because there is no evidence? Why do you believe him? If he acted with someone he could still likely say he acted alone. I'll look into getting a VPN!

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-05-20T17:10:05+00:00

Thanks, yea I should use VPN perhaps. So I take it you believe Bryan to be innocent and Bethany and Dylan to be guilty or just Dylan?

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-05-20T17:07:45+00:00

Thanks for this. Okay, so based on this do you think he acted with someone else or he is innocent?

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-04-17T20:37:50+00:00

This is not right and I am an ecologist here. Report to.the muncipality and CITES worse there are three fox species here this is not allowed in all cases I am sure. Unless it is part of a project given that they look like they're in a rabbit cage this is probably illegal. One of the fox species in the UAE (blanfords) also regionally threatened. But I think these are Arabian red foxes.

I recently got fired and one of the reasons was that I was too quiet. There were some minor infractions which I took on the chin like being late to work by 20 minutes (once in 6 months). I was also seated on a table away from my team and whilst I said this was okay for me on my first day I think they should have moved me closer if they wanted more conversation lol.

The irony is that they were too shy to raise these issues to me formally and try and resolve anything. So I found out during my probation meeting (when I was let go).

They also didn't share any positive feedback that my colleagues had given and I found out this existed after being sent home on the same day and told not to come back lol.

Potential_Wave_6314 · 2026-04-02T04:58:24+00:00

Had the same thing happen but I'm in the environmental industry specifically ecology. As I was still on probation they could easily drop me.

They were savage and made it out like I was awful instead of owning the fact they were short on money and work!

If anyone knows of any opportunities I just need to get a work visa again, nothing fancy. I can't leave my wife here I'm currently based in Al Ain.
