They would feed heaps to the biggest ones where quite big
The two largest species, Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae, reached about 3.7 m (12 ft) in height with neck outstretched, and weighed about 230 kg (510 lb).

I was sent that same video just last night from a friend who is a zoologist /herpetologist and he was laughing his ass off. It's just a little coyote with mange and probably the entire pack has it (which can be as many as 10 individuals) and so that's why there is more then one being found and uuuuhhhh a block away.

Mange is a horrible disease and is EXTREMELY contagious to canines, cats and other animal mammals.

Poor pups. That type of mange is fatal.

/hugs coyotes

Didn't some people who found a preserved mammoth in some ice eat it?

Love crypto myself and am convinced that Bigfoot exists. But my train of thought is, why don't they just grid the entire northwest untamed areas and fly copters through the grids with heat sensor cameras. If they do exist I think they would be in family groups and if you got a heat image of several humanoids in the dense brush, you go to that area to investigate. Not all of the sitings would be Cousin Skeeter and the family out camping.
Just seems that would make more sense than sitting around waiting for someone to run one over on a dark road.

Having so many helicopters active, sweeping such a big area would be incredibly expensive.

can anyone here agree that mothman is the most scary of all crytids sorry but now you got me going.

No. I find this whole subject silly. None of these "crytids" are scary, because quite frankly they are incredibly unlikely to exist. Feel free to believe in it yourself, but nothing short of shoving a confirmed, unexisting species in my face would convince me otherwise.

No offense meant to anyone.

The history of the discovery of the mountain gorilla demonstrates that a large ape can elude detection for decades, and that native tales of such creatures can be based in fact. Likewise for the Giant Panda. It took sixty-seven years from the time the Giant Panda was "discovered" by Westerners until its live capture. During this period twelve well staffed and equipped professional expeditions failed to collect a single live specimen of this large bear. It took over twenty years to collect a living specimen of the Congo Peacock once it became known to Westerners from feathers and oral descriptions by natives of the Congo River basin.

Thisthisthis.

Elaboration is pointless, though. You can't enlighten someone who shuts their mind off from the possibilities.

xDD I take that as a compliment! I guess I could give it a shot. I'll post it up here when I do. 8)
