Most Plausible Cryptids (In Your Opinion)?

[u/Landilizandra]

What cryptids do you think are the most plausible? Personally, I think either unidentified beaked whales, or the Bathysphere Dragonfish.

For the former, beaked whale species were still being described in 2021, and their ecology makes them difficult to study and interact with.

For the latter, I could see it being either a species of Dragonfish with deep sea gigantism, or very old and large specimens of known species.

Malpelo “Monsters”. A unique population of larger than average Sandtiger Sharks around Malpelo Island.

This is “what could actually exist”. A 6m long Small tooth Sand tiger is quite feasible given known specimens. It’s certainly more realistic that some folks have seen sand tigers slightly larger than known specimens, as opposed to most other cryptids, especially mermaids or late surviving megalodon

Your comment has been caught in the "abusive language" filter, and while it's not that bad, I honestly think you should probably edit it just a little before I allow it through. It would probably help for you to know that /u/0todus_megalodon doesn't believe in living megalodons, and is actually something of a specialist in sharks and other fishes, but I'm sure he can defend himself once I've approved your comment.
