This could be interesting...
Unidentified sea serpent caught on tape I wouldn't call a huge worm a sea serpent, but it is odd. But compared to these, it's not hard... Mystery Animals Roam Northeast Ohio Mystery Animal in Geauga County Mystery Animals Attract Worldwide Interest And on the front page of the paper for a one month old story? Never do they say that these exotic sheep/goat animals are roaming around an exotic sheep farm.

I have two words for cryptozoologists--"breeding populations."

I am going to hazard a guess at them being Dall Sheep. They are common in the mountains of Canada.

The first of your other three links doesn't work. The middle one, though, clearly shows pictures of two female bighorn sheep. The female horns are smaller and less curved than the male's horns. Some might think it's a Dall sheep, but the ears in the pics shown on the video are about twice the size of what they'd be if it were. They range from Mexico to Canada, so I'm not sure why the park ranger is so unsure. At least he mentioned "goat, or sheep," though I don't know why he said "goat," as it doesn't look anything at all like a goat.

Statistically speaking there should be some fairly large critters in the oceans we haven't yet discovered. Of course it's possible we may have accidently wiped out some fairly large creatures before cateloging them.
On land you are much less likely to come across a new vertebrate bigger than a rat. |

Such as a new species of squid?
I'm not sure why they say "new species of anglerfish." If it can successfully breed with other anglerfish, I'd say it's just a variation within the species, not a new species entirely. Then again, I'm not a geneticist, so... Exactly where is the line draw with respect to what's considered a "new species?" Caucasions look considerably different than Asians which look considerably different than Africans, but all can interbreed without issues, so different species, or merely a variation?

With the anglerfish you mentioned, the article says it's different looking. They probably don't know what it's mating habits are so they are probably assuming that it's a seperate species based upon it's anatomy. |

Dogs, wolves, coyotes and foxes can interbreed to varying degrees, though then normally don't.
Lions and tigers can, though only just. Speciation is basically not a binary on/off thing where you can draw a line.

I didn't have Darwin's cell number with me so I couldn't refute it. I assume it isn't possible.
