About Midwest Cryptids

What is it that fuels each and every one of us in this world?  For me, it is Midwest Cryptids.  Our world is filled with unknown wonders.  In fact, it is estimated that over 90% of life on Earth has yet to be discovered or classified.  With skeptics and believers both among us, I am setting out to explore and study the Cryptids of the Midwestern United States.  Is there a logical answer for what is being reported?  Could it be misidentification? Or is it truly a cryptid species?
