Redundant article? edit
This article is already largely covered in the Tyto pollens article and could be deleted/merged.
- No. One thing is the cryptid and the other is the fossil animal. Only that the two are identified by some to be one and the same. --Againme (talk) 21:09, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- It's been a while, but I have quite a bit of research to add to this as a legendary creature (not a "cryptid").--tronvillain (talk) 18:59, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
- I completely rewrote the Tyto pollens article, that was a bunch of nonsense, and what has happened here is Chinese whispers: Marcot invented some specious BS, someone added that to Wikipedia and added more BS inventions; and now someone used that BS and invented more BS based on that. Case in point: Marcot says "may have survived on Andros until the coming of early man"; a Wikipedia editor goes off on limb and uses that to write "became extinct with the arrival of Europeans and their slaves in the 16th century" in the T. pollens article; another Wikipedia editor reads that and invents "it was rumored to survive until the 16th century" here. This is just pure nonsense.
- For one, the Spanish visited in Andros in the 16th century, but no whites and their slaves settled here until the 18th century; the forests were only really felled in the 1970s; there are only a handful of fossil bones known from three individuals of T. pollens, none are from Andros, none are from a period when (Native American) humans existed on the islands; T. pollens was absolutely not flightless; it was not 1 meter tall; there are no "scholars" "believing" in this "theory", there is only one guy talking shit; the first fossil was excavated in the 1930s so it is impossible that any "rumours" about this species existed in the 16th century (when no one lived on these islands) -Zjeesh!
- Also, this is no more a cryptid than an elf or a kobold or baba yaga. Leo Breman (talk) 01:40, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
