Did These Strange Mystery Tusks Come From a Cryptid Elephant-Pig?


Bigfoot isn't the only cryptid mystery out there, and these mysteries have been eluding us since we started scientifically looking at animals on our planet. Check out this story about some strange tusks from Africa that nobody could identify.

"It all began in an Ethiopian ivory market, one of many in this country's capital, Addis Ababa, back in the opening years of the 20th Century. In 1904, Baron Maurice de Rothschild and French zoologist Henri Neuville were visiting this particular ivory market during an East African expedition when they noticed a very odd-looking tusk on a stall owned by some ivory merchants from India. Although in excellent condition, supposedly of modern age (i.e. not fossilised, though possibly several centuries old), and superficially similar to an elephant tusk but with a very dark patina, in terms of length it only measured 0.56 m (22 in) in a straight line and only 0.74 m (29 in) following its curve, so it was smaller than most elephant tusks of comparable proportions that they had previously sold. In addition, it bore a series of longitudinal, regularly-spaced, narrow grooves or corrugations on what appeared to be its upper side and a single long but very broad groove on its apparent underside, instead of being smooth-surfaced like regular elephant tusks. Consequently, it had not attracted interest from potential buyers."

    7. At least Josh could fly halfway around the world, get food poisoning and almost die in a plane crash and still retain a sense of humor when it was painfully obvious it was all BS. You footers could learn a lot from him.

    9. I like how the show was called "destination: truth", yet they failed to deliver any.

      Delete
    10. If truth is a destination then they just failed to reach it within the time span of the show. I see no fault there.

    11. If the roof of the plane carrying Moneymaker and Cliff tore off, you'd probably never see them in the air again. We'd hear everyday about how they almost died.

    1. Not sure about all of that but just because you're a congressman doesn't grant you the right to waltz into any place you please.

      That's like Jesse Ventura trying to get into all those places by shouting about being a Navy UDT and former Governor.
