Steller's Sea Cow - These large sea mammals were discovered in the cold waters of the North Pacific in 1741. Sadly the conventional wisdom is that these giant manatee like animals were hunted to extinction less than 30 years after their discovery.


That be the case as far as we know. Although I personally hope it not to be true. In the meantime, I do believe that a close relation of the sea cow has now adopted the nickname in honour. Typically for me, I cannot remember which animal this be.


Here's an artist's rendition of a Steller Sea Cow:

Being poked with a spear. All-important detail, there.
Unfortunately they were poked with spears far too often.

Real animal that are extinct/so rare that they are realllly hard to find: Poor dolphins. emo Dolphins are cool.

On the mythological note: Loch Ness Monster. It's possible like the yeti, because they haven't fully explored the depths of the lake, and it's hard because it's so deep and dark. I heard she's really shy.

I like the chupacabra too. It's a more recent legendary cryptid with initial reports starting in the 1990s in Latin American comunities. I don't think chupacabras are real but I do like to say "CHUPACABRA"! xd

Plus it's just fun to blame things on chupacabras.
"Who ate the last of the ice cream?"
"What?! The ice cream is gone? It must have been a wild chupacabra!"

Wikipedia
Chupacabra (also chupacabras) is a cryptid said to inhabit parts of both of the Americas. It is associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it was first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities. The name translates literally from the Spanish as "goat sucker". It comes from the creature's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eye-witness sightings began in Puerto Rico in the early 1990s, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. Though some argue that the chupacabras may be real creatures, mainstream scientists and experts generally contend that the chupacabra is a legendary creature, or a type of urban legend. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail.
