The last known cryptid report of a mammoth in the United States came only 80ish years before RDR2 is set!
Sharing one cool Rockstar game detail every day until GTA 6 releases: 54 days left. In Red Dead Redemption 2, Up in the Grizzlies, Arthur can come across the skeletal remains of a Mammoth. Upon inspection, he will draw it in his journal and write "Was this a mammoth?"

"An undescribed dolphin", described and illustrated by Edward Adrian Wilson following the Discovery expedition. Because it was not named, it seems no scientists have been interested in clarifying its identity. I'm torn between it being an Hourglass Dolphin or Peale's Dolphin.

This journalist found out she was related to legendary bigfoot researcher Grover Krantz which led to her starting to research bigfoot and other weird tales on a podcast. Pretty cool story

Bill Rebsamen’s Stellar’s Sea Cows painting (now installed at Portland, Maine’s International Cryptozoology Museum) is worthy of pondering as we consider the journey of the Steller’s Sea Eagle around North America (and most lately in Maine). ~ @CryptoLoren

I think I included Ulysses S Grant as a joke but turns out there is something related to him and cryptozoology👀
Replying to @BestCryptids
He's our fourth cryptozoologist president after Jefferson, Grant, and Teddy Roosevelt

A very early 1923 depiction of a "blue tiger", a new species of tiger with a blueish grey coat. Spotted in both China and Tibet, it was greatly feared for having killed multiple people. One hunted managed almost managed to shoot one, but didn't fire as someone was in the way.
