Is there a possibility of certain undiscovered large mammals like Orang Pendek still existing?

    If there’s one kind of animal humanity has a solid track of its large mammals. If serious evidence of a new large mammal was discovered it would be front page news worldwide.

    I don’t believe in any cryptids that can’t be explained by “animal a bit outside of it’s normal habitat” or “animal we thought was extinct wasn’t quite yet”

    And with half the planet’s population having a high definition digital camera on them at all times and ever decreasing areas of wild land youd need fairly concrete evidence of anything at all

      I think "subspecies or unique animal of a well understood family" are also cryptids that are explainable. Like the billy Ape hypothesis seems to be wrong, but it very well could have been correct until that point. Stuff like that I buy
