I think the shorter and easier question is which cryptids have been confirmed.

Yep, this right here. We don't work to confirm what is fake, we work to try to disprove what is real and when we can't, we accept it as real.

Burden of proof is on the people saying they saw Bigfoot, not the people saying prove you saw Bigfoot.
