We have no live giant squid specimen, and I don't think anyone actually doubt its exitence anymore.

I challenge you to go into the wild and find a bear's corpse. The point is being a nature freak, I have spent weeks at a time wandering in the wilderness of American west and never once have I actually seen a live or dead bear... and I don't doubt its existence.
3. No hair, no scat, no other remains that one could get DNA from.
Bear...
4. No plausible mechanism by which a viable breeding population (around at least 50 individuals) could exist without any trace of the above.
Have you ever been to the wilderness of Alaska or Colorado? It's huge. It's literally thousands and thousands of acres of places to hide.
5. No believers among trained researchers who are spending most their waking hours in the ecosystem.
Same thing could be said about the platypus when it first came to light.
With that said, I'm a skeptic myself
We are BOG. Resistance is voltage over current.

Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!
