As cryptozoologists, and in the spirit of April Fool’s Day, I think we need to be able to laugh at ourselves every once in a while. I mean, we spend countless hours studying grainy video and blurry photographs, and embarking on major expeditions all in the search of “monsters” (as Monsterquest puts it).
I don’t think this hoax is particularly funny, but there’s no point in getting in a fuss about it. A sense of humor is a great asset, especially in this field.
