I had previously posted that I had seen the feejee mermaid at a museum of curiosities. I was mistaken. It was Jake The Alligator Man at Marsh’s Free Museum in Longbeach Washington. Thothweb has a story posted today on the alligator man. I think it is worth reading if only to compare with the above story.

There is also a link to the Marsh’s Free Museum page. It has been years since I have been to Marsh’s, It is a fun place to take the kids.

What is lost in all this, except for one comment from shovethenos, is that there are a LOT of finds coming out of south east asia.
Look at what has been posted here recently, such as the rock rat, and at other finds new to science (but known to natives) like the tiny, 20 inch tall leaf deer or leaf muntjac (1999) and the striped ammanite rabbit from the border with Laos (again 1999) and the Large Antlered Muntjac (1994)…
There is a lot still to be found in this part of the world.
Sad that the reason some of it seems to be being found is that we are quickly depleting the habitat, but these finds would seem to point to a need to keep one eye focused on that corner of the globe (one critical eye, that is).

Dear RocketSeason..That sounds all fine and good, but what would you rather have happen…have the above show up in press accounts as “a new report of a Bigfoot captured in Johor” or make your own decision within the proper context of what is occurring?

For Cryptomundo, it is all about keeping people informed…fully.

Seems there have been quite a few ‘mermaids’ in the past that are nothing more than a monkey’s torso attached to a fish tail. This one certainly looks no different.

shoethenos (3) wrote “a lot of the supernatural imagery doesn’t help their case”

On the contrary. I would expect a very large proportion of the world’s (human) population have sufficient faith in things supernatural or magical that presenting their findings in this way would indeed help their cause a lot.

I think the collection is interesting, regardless of the obvious fakery. What further intrigues me is the mythology in almost every country on the planet reflects so many of our own undiscovered/unverified creatures, such as mermaids, werewolves, vampires and the like. But other than the interest the collection may be intended to foster, it annoys me that that some people slap the title of “Professional” on their group and declare themselves to be the foremost authority on the subject. They needs funds to transport a bigfoot? But they have no problem bouncing from country to country with all their equipment? They need the funds to fabricate another hoax. The mermaid in the collection, baited with yellow rice? I mean, c’mon. And it’s looks haven’t changed since it’s “capture”? Mermaids are decrepit, rotting and desicated? I find this whole venture of their’s insulting. And I sincerely hope someday the scientific community garners enough clout to penalize hoaxers and possibly fine them so they can use the funds conduct to more worthwhile pursuits in the name of science. Sorry for ranting.

If they are so real. Why not donate them to science? Kinda makes you wonder what they are smoking.
