Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You are in Nepal after years of training in mountain climbing and you are finally ready to summit Mt. Everest. You step out of your tent at base camp with a hot cup of coffee that's getting colder by the second. With your other hand, you view the ridgeline with binoculars and see a hairy creature moving slowly. It is walking on two legs, white in color, and seemingly over seven feet tall. It is huge! What are you likely looking at?
2. After the cold, it's time to get warm. Puerto Rico is a good spot for that. The village of Morovis is included in your travels by Jeep through the countryside. Suddenly, on the edge of town right by the treeline, you spot a creature that is about four feet tall, hairy, with fangs, and huge red eyes. What are you looking at?
3. Hey, time to cool down a bit and head for Lake Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada for some fishing and boating. The water is serene and beautiful until you notice some turbulence. You see a large creature emerge from the water. It looks like it has a horse's head, a blunt nose, and huge eyes. You estimate it to be over 70 feet long! What is the name of this monster?
4. Staying in Canada, you cross to the other side of the country to the Isle of Miscou near New Brunswick. You sail your rented boat past a legendary creature's cave. You don't see her, but you hear her hissing. This giant monster has delighted in attacking ships and devouring the sailors onboard for hundreds of years. What is her name?
5. Now we're off to Turkey and a hike up Mt. Ararat. This is supposedly where Noah's Ark is located. To the south there is a lake you would like to also investigate. It is said to be home to a dinosaur-like cryptid, which (if alive) is living in sodium-heavy glacial waters. What is the name of the monster?
6. Let's head now to Java, an island in the Pacific. It is very famous for its bird sightings, especially in the rain forest. You have spotted some Java Rice Birds when suddenly a large form swoops down from the sky. What cryptid have you seen? Dr. Ernest Bartels first said he encountered it in 1925.
7. France is always a good spot to search for monsters. More specifically, a certain mountainous area in the south-central part of the country is ideal. A beast had reportedly terrorized the area in the mid-18th century. It was said to have been killed, but you are not so sure. You happen to see a creature taller than a wolf with reddish fur, talons on his legs, and a large head coming right at you. As you turn to run, what are you being chased by?
8. It is time for you to head up north to Sweden. There were tales of a real-life dragon being active along marshes in the 19th century. It was thought to be a landlocked sea serpent. What creature are you searching for along the waterways?
9. Now it is on to Scotland, but not for the obvious choice among cryptozoologists of Loch Ness. There is another loch near where "Nessie" resides and it, too, has a monster. Can you name the loch?
10. No international tour of cryptids would be complete without a visit to the United States. One particular creature has been seen flying overhead in large sections of the country and is part of Native American lore. It seems to be related to the condor. The creature may stand five feet tall and have a wingspan of 20 to 24 feet. If you see its large form in the sky, what creature are you probably viewing?
