| 1) the rock nest monster is real because James Lee was a marine and he reserched the rovck nest monster.<br>2)FAKE ALL THE PICTURES ARE JEPEGS!!!!!!! anyway based on the research i have done on walruses they can't live without water to bathe in and find thier favourite food.<br>3) TRUE TRUE TRUE based on common sense since i have seen both alive and dead normal flying squirrels there is DEFINETLY a northern one. |

| The rock nest monster is so fiction because the eggs look identical to golf balls just painted. <br><br>Mountaian Walruses are fiction because most walruses have to survive in water and in google the people said that they could outrun an elk and horse oh please they are as slow as turtles. And I even went on yahoo and there were no matches found.<br><br>The northern flying squirrel is most definitely real because I have witnessed one myself and I found lots of info in google and in yahoo. <br> |

| I definitely do NOT believe this. The eggs look like glazed golf balls. The museum clips could have been done in his home.<br><br><br><br>The mountain walrus is certainly not real. Walruses need water to live. Walruses are slow and definitely can’t run faster than elk or horse. The pictures could have been real walruses altered to look like they were in a forest.<br><br>The Northern Flying Squirrels are real because I have read many information books that told me about them. The website looks reliable “ Natural History Notebooks.”<br><br> |
