Yeti/Abominable Snowman,Bigfoot,Yeren and Yowie are all the same beast (except no-one's ever seen a Yowie!)Nessie and Storsjoduret are probably the same horse/dog headed serpent or eel thing.As Cryptidsrus says, aliens don't count. As for puk-wud-jies : according to Dr Shuker's very illuminating essay on his website they're for real,and lived all over America under a variety of even more unpronounceable names!He also describes the mannegishi/Dover Demon- my favourite cryptid - something that sounds more alien than the aliens. still, at least the mainstream press is getting up to speed on cryptozoology,I'm sure storsjoduret and pukwudjies wouldn't have got a mention 2 or 3 years ago.

The "Aliens" would not be considered Crypto by many, if not most Crypto people, Nick.
Same for the Pukwudgie. More akin to Mythology and the Paranormal---as in "Fairie" creatures.
Doesn't surprise me, though. Books and newspapers like to "blur the lines" and mix different "disciplines" altogether. To be expected, mostly.
Good list aside from those two.
Glad you posted it.
