"Faux Alligator" should have been called a Cryptid but at the time I was thinking of giant salamanders (not indicated on this map)when actually they should be considered a separate category
Sightings at some locations can include sightings of more than one kind of creature (Such as giant fish and swimming moose both at Flathead lake for one example)
