Alaska's Monsters That Should Be Extinct

Alaska is the last true wilderness, and the stories that come out of it are some of the strangest on Earth. Lake monsters, giant wolves, and creatures that look like they walked out of the Ice Age and forgot to go extinct. In this video I go through the wildest Alaska cryptids and rate each one on the Tavern Scale, from pure campfire legend to almost certainly real. Which ones do you believe?
