Many reference mysterious fossils as belonging to monsters, but clearly they existed. A science series presents a video on problematic creatures. It specifically focuses on the tully monster, which, despite many fossils, has yet to provide enough information to be placed on the tree of life. Scientists group these creatures into a group named problematica.
