More on The Jungle Book and Cryptozoology...

Last week, I had a post on here about Disney's new live-action version of The Jungle Book (which is out today, by the way) and the fact that King Louie is now a Gigantopithecus. 

Loren Coleman has a new post up on his CryptoZooNews blog about the same thing, and he brings up some other things that I hadn't thought of before - other animal characters in The Jungle Book would actually be cryptids as well!

He says:

"The new Disney version of The Jungle Book will be released to theaters April 15, 2016. Besides the cryptozoologically intriguing bear in India, giant snake, and black panther (obviously a melanistic leopard), there is a big surprise for cryptozoologists and hominologists in this new movie: Gigantopithecus."

So, this pretty much means that  Louie, Kaa, Baloo, and Bagheera are all cryptids. Pretty cool!
