Lesser Known North American Cryptids: A Survey

The Rhode Island Mean-Bird: Making its home in Providence, the RIM-B is said to be anywhere from 1 to 1 and 1/2 feet in wingspan. Some witnesses have claimed that they have measured its wingspan to over 2 feet, but these claims seem wildly outlandish to those familiar with the RIM-B. What is not disputed, however, is how mean it is (very mean).
Day Bat: On that most desolate of American Peninsulas, the Floridian Day-Bat is known to jolt awake traveling families with its eerie midmorning cry, which bares a stunning resemblance to the speaking voice of actor David Duchnovy. While some cryptozoologists now suspect that the Day Bat is simply a regular bat that stays awake for a few extra hours, there exists no substantial body of proof to support this theory.
Ol' Cliff (formerly known as Clifton Clifford): In Cuyahoga County, Ohio, locals know not to go swimming in the Clifton Lagoon, for fear of Ol' Cliff. Early settlers reported a creature with a body of a sea lion and a head of a horse, which would swim idly up the the lakeshore to shoot the breeze with whoever was nearby. They originally had hoped this creature, which they named Clifton Clifford, would bring them good fortune. But frontier people were stupid; horse-headed monsters are never good news. During the early days of that first stifling Ohio summer, several children went missing a night. At first, families were reticent to blame their new, horsey friend- he seemed so kind, and besides, in olden days kids were nothing more than a burden at the best of times. However, when the mayor's beloved daughter, Agnes (again, olden times were awful), went missing one humid August afternoon, a county-wide moratorium on swimming was put into place, which holds to this day. FUN FACT: Ol' Cliff's head is actually that of a mule!
North American Giant Bigfoot: Probably just a really big bigfoot. No big deal.
