Bigfoot, Chupacabras and Yetis: What are cryptids?
We take a look at mythical creatures from around the globe.
From the Chupacabra to the Yeti, lots of countries and regions around the world have their own myths about strange creatures whose existence has never been scientifically proven - known as cryptids.
These 'eyewitness sightings' have captured people鈥檚 imaginations for decades and even centuries. Alex from the What in the World team takes Hannah on a tour of some of them - with help from 麻豆社 reporters Beverly Ochieng, Surbhi Kaul, Fan Wang, Blaire Toedte and Anselm Gibbs.
