I'm sharing just some of the amazing array of cryptids reported in the United States. Local areas have many of their own that have grown over time, such as my hometown's Bunnyman that was at one time a man who ate bunnies, then a man in a bunny suit, and over time has been thrown into the cryptid pile.
Lizardman: In Tucson, Arizona during a bike race, a rider saw a Lizardman standing in the desert. “We had been riding for about… I don’t know maybe nine hours, taking breaks every now and then. Then Michael says he needs to stop for a minute. We are waiting for him to finish when all of a sudden we see this long figure walking across the trail. He is maybe about 6-foot tall, very very skinny, and it had an awkward gait, like a monkey…or a man with a disease, almost robotic, kind of,” he told Cryptozoology News.

Was it really any wonder that the Native People have repeated legends of man/animal forms, dance in costumes that portray them?
Then, there are also the campy cryptids -
Man has been pretty arrogant about ruling the earth and knowing all of its inhabitants and yet every year, even large creatures are discovered "officially" for the first time (thought Native people knew of these creatures). It's a fascinating land, America. We are not such a new continent. Technically, all continents were from a master continent and broke apart. We are as old as any other continent and what happened her had isolation for millions of years before humans arrived in a place that might have already harbored humanoids.
