I had the pleasure and privilege to be able to interview him and ask him a few questions. I asked him on many topics revolving this topic. I asked him of course about my own state of Oklahoma, and inquired about whether many sightings came from there. As I enjoy spending time outdoors, I thought it would be interesting if I should keep an eye out for any creatures like these. He said they are frequent and that there was a recent one from St. Louis and they are common in the South.
Although he hasn't personally sighted one for sure, he has devoted much of his time in researching and writing about it. With hundreds of blogs, articles, reports and several books he is the expert on this area of cryptozoology. I asked him of what made him interested in this subject, and he told me that it was a story he had heard from a South America missionary that heard of native traditions and another missionary in Papau New Guinea.
Mr. Whitcomb is very careful in examining testimonial evidence. He has a legal video analyst look at the testimonies and all the sightings have similar characteristics.
*Long tail
*Long Neck
*Lack of Feathers
In all 13 years he has never seen a witness confuse a pterodactyl for a fruit bat which is a similar animal that may be confused for a living pterosaur. He has all testimonial evidence, not any physical evidence yet.
Many people may not be receptive to the idea that some ancient creatures may still be living. If you consider though the holes in Darwin's theory and the evolutionary thought. You can see how the Creation thought makes much more sense, and living dinosaurs make so much more sense. If you also consider all the possible places where these creatures may hide. They may den in culverts or caves, also migrate during the night making them less prone to being spotted. Even then Mr. Whitcomb believes there are millions of sightings!
As we explore science and the world more, we may find yet undiscovered animals.
Thank you
God Bless
