On the Trail of Giants | Popfrog #2
Ballyraven Cryptid Wildlife Protection Agency
03/10/25 • 4 min
Q: Where can Popfrogs be found?
It was very difficult to determine where Popfrogs currently live - they are adept hiders! Using our knowledge of frogs, cryptid clues, and a few good guesses, the BCWPA team was able to locate the four remaining Popfrogs in the world. While they could thrive elsewhere, for some reason they are stuck here, in western Ohio, hidden in some of the state's small swamps.
Next time: The team follows Rosie the Ribbiter - the last female Popfrog in existence, lovingly named by the BCWPA.

an Overview of Atmospheric Beasts
Ballyraven Cryptid Wildlife Protection Agency
12/12/23 • 50 min
Have you ever seen something strange in the sky? A bug that also looks not like a bug? A translucent thing that you catch only a glimpse of? A cloud that does not move like a cloud? An unsettling blip on a photo?
People once thought that the bottom of the ocean was devoid of life, too extreme for anything to exist. Too lightless, too cold, too crushing, too empty. They were wrong. Even four miles down into the ocean’s depths, life exists. Mirroring this mysterious place, there is a similar ecosystem high in the sky, filled with animals parallel to those marine creatures found far below.
