Hoaxes about monsters unknown to science have always existed. This is such a peculiar heritage of primitive man, for whom the night was dark and full of horrors. But if the stories of some sailors of the Renaissance do not inspire any confidence, then modern legends are often supported by quite reliable materials. Here, for example, are some animals unknown to science, filmed with a real camera.
Morning visitor
The topic of finding Bigfoot remains one of the most common mania of people around the world. The Bigfoots were seen (allegedly) by hundreds of witnesses, video and photographic evidence (which can only be believed with great stretch) is counted in dozens. Skeptics, however, cannot explain the appearance of this recording, taken by a frightened tourist in the forests of Australia.
Chupacabra
A mysterious creature that came into the world from Mexican folklore. According to legend, the Chupacabra appears only at night to drink the blood of the livestock left on the pastures. Serious scientists, of course, do not consider it necessary to listen to the idle tales of uneducated peasants - despite the fact that there is a lot of evidence for the existence of the animal. For example, this unknown beast was discovered by the farmers of Oklahoma. The corpse was lying not far from the local pasture.

Loch Ness monster
The most famous photograph of the lake monster was taken back in 1934. Since then, hundreds of people have reported on meetings with Nessie, including even several serious scientists. In 2014, the story received a new impetus: on the filming of Apple Maps, a strange silhouette, similar to a huge lizard, was discovered.
Giant squid
Scientists every year find new species of creatures that inhabit the oceans. Stories about giant squids have been known to us since the Middle Ages: sailor folklore vividly describes the terrible details of the meeting with this deep-sea monster. Legends are confirmed by scientific research: in 2012, oceanographer Edith Widder managed to capture the monster on camera - the giant squid was 13 meters long.
Swinzilla
These days, gigantic cows and pigs are no longer surprising. Special feed with the addition of hormones, genetic engineering - a person is simply trying to provide himself with an uninterrupted supply of food. However, the photograph that appeared in 2004 amazed even seasoned farmers. 4 meters, 362 kilograms - it took thirty shots from a large-caliber rifle to kill the beast. Subsequently, it turned out that the DNA of Hogzilla (as the strange creature was dubbed in the press) contains the genes of a wild boar and a pig.
Giant anaconda
Anacondas are found in the Amazon Basin. The natural habitat of these dangerous snakes is the river and marshland, where it is convenient to hide when hunting for prey. Anacondas can grow to gigantic proportions: there are witnesses who claim to have seen a snake twenty meters long. This is quite real - in 1998 one of the scientific expeditions caught an anaconda 15 meters high.
