Have yo ever heard of Cryptozoology? Do you know what a cryptid is? And is it something that we may have here in South Dakota?

First up, Cryptozoology is the study of creatures from folk lore. Things like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. A cryptid is what you'd call those creatures.

What are the Cryptids of South Dakota?

 

These are the animals or creatures of legend that get passed down from generation to generation. Tales told over Boy Scout campfires or while driving on a dark backroad.

Every region of the world has their own cryptids. People talk about a crazy thing they saw while out hunting. Or stories about what happened to great-uncle Dave that time.

There have been several sighting of what some call Bigfoot in South Dakota. We also have some of our very own mythical creatures.
