Throughout the semester each of you will present to the class a 15 minute talk on a specific cryptid. Your presentation should include both scientific and literary references to the cryptid, although you can adjust the talk to favor whichever approach is most appropriate for your specific cryptid.
To introduce your cryptid, add a comment to this post with the name of your cryptid, a short description, and what you find most interesting about this cryptid.
My criptid will be the Yeti.
I will research the okapi.
Looks like the okapi is well documented as a real animal:

I’m switching to the Jackalope.
I am excited about this course being co-taught by Professor Fuzzypants. I enjoyed his book entitled Fuzzy Logic.
cool stuff!
