Auks are pinguins, and penguins are Spheniscids (if that makes any sense...)

This was actually a lot more interesting than I expected it to be

8:53 It is so sad that that bird was hunted to extinction. Seeing that taxidermied specimen next to a couple of humans really drives home just how huge these things actually were. That is a straight up dinosaur. I mean, technically birds ARE dinosaurs, but these Giant Moa, exemplify that more than any other modern bird I think. Put teeth in it's jaw and stick a tail on it and you've got a fairly large theropod. The size of this animal, and how recently it existed, also leads me to take the stories from the natives in the Amazon about, what they call, the "Mapinguari", a bit more seriously. The creature they describe sounds like the Giant Ground Sloth. They talk about this huge, 12-15 ft tall animal, that has backwards feet, and skin that arrows bounce off of. The backwards feet makes sense, because the way ground sloths walked, they walked on the sides of their feet, and this caused their toes and claws to curl under their feet and point backward. So their footprints would have looked like they had backwards feet. And then, because of a very well-preserved Giant Ground Sloth, "Megatherium", hide that was found in a cave, we know that they had osteoderms in their skin. These are, basically, small plates or nodules, of bone, that were under the skin and acted as armor. So it is very reasonable that their light-weight, hand-made bows, would have had a very hard time penetrating the hide of these animals. I don't think they exist anymore, but going by the stories of these natives, it sounds like they may have been around up until just a few generations ago. You can still find caves in the area that are, literally, FULL of dung from these animals. And it's not fossilized. It's just old and dried up. The elders of some of these villages say that they can still remember the sounds that the ground sloths made when they were trying to scare you away. They say that they make this very loud, bellow, or roar. There's even evidence in some of the caves of some tribes possibly domesticating some of these creatures, and sharing large caves with them. Or, at least domesticating the young, maybe until they got too big. I don't really know, but it is fascinating. I would love it if Forrest managed to find an extant population of Megatherium. That would be so cool.

Manatees are very difficult to see when you are not looking for them, it would not surprise me if a 30ft version still exists and isn't seen regularly. Also, whales have changed their behaviors to exploit/avoid us more than once in history, what if only the smartest ones survived using new tactics and passed those strategies to their offspring.

There's no way the sea cows are still around in the Aleutians. They were inshore creatures known for a tendency to swim up to boats, and they were huge. People want them to exist, but they don't anymore. There were huge battles fought there during WW2 and the islands were a key theater of the Cold War. Plus it's part of one of the largest fisheries in the world. And it's studied by a metric ton of marine biologists, so yeah they're gone.

I live in a commercial fishing community on the outer banks of NC. I was in the local restaurant eating breakfast after duck huntin one morning and there was another group of hunters sitting within ear shot of me and I couldn't help but to notice their conversation and had to eavesdrop. One of the guys was telling the other three about a "sea monster" they had caught in their net. One of the other guys had already heard the story so he was kinda reaffirming what the man was telling them. The creature was estimated to be 40' in lenth, had a horse shaped head, huge eyes, flippers and I believe he said it seemed like it had some sort of hair or maybe it was growth on its skin. They dragged the net and creature toward the shore but before they could reach the shore it freed itself and swam off. They said it was close to capsizing the boat. The guy was very convincing that the story was legit, especially with the other guy confirming and even finishing what the original story teller was saying.
