File:Ex-Cryptids and the FULL saga of the Bili Ape

In this video, I will discuss 3 animals that were once considered to be cryptids. It is a demonstration on cryptozoology. The very real creatures are the Coelacanth, the Giant Squid, and the Bili Ape. All three creatures have unique properties that helped them develop a mythology of their own. Of particular note, is the Bili Ape, so much has been said about them, and I hope this video solidifies the long and drawn saga. They are fascinating, but not for the reasons that many people may think.
