A sneak peek (or rather eavesdropping) into the weird and wonderful world of cryptid *audio*. I´m not an expert on this niche topic, but from the top of my head, the Sierra sounds are frankly ridiculous.
The most fascinating recording could be a Blue Jay (a known and extant species) mimicking an Ivory-Billed Woodpecker (an extinct species)! Either the jumbo-sized woodpecker is still around, or Blue Jays have been mimicking it for generations after it went extinct...
I also wonder what´s up with the Japanese Wolf, claimed to be extinct for over 100 years. Yet, freakin´ close-range photos of the beast exist?! With apologies to C S Lewis: Really, we are hard to please! If the Honshu Wolf is tojour vivant, that would be fascinating since they are believed to be the last surviving lineage of the Pleistocene Wolf, the direct ancestor of domestic dogs (the Grey Wolf apparently being a side lineage).
Of course, we have to kill the wolves anyway, LOL. Just make sure to send a frozen specimen to your local bio-lab for closer inspection...
