Chupacabra vs TR

Jackson probably encountered a swamp ape or two

Roosevelt might have tackled grey lions, the mysterious saurian cryptid in central africa, yeti in the Himalayas, or bunyips in Australia... also Bigfoot in the states.

Roosevelt definitely fought Sasquatch at some point.

TR fought several cryptids from Bigfoot to the chupacabra. It started as a police man in NY with vamps and continued into his days of hunting in the west.

Abe Lincoln commissioned Wild Bill Hickock to hunt down the red-haired Sasquatch. Abe himself had fought the ape-men in his younger days, but had become pre-occupied with matters of state and passed the torch to Wild Bill.

I like the idea of TR fighting Chupacabra. I also think Andrew Jackson would totally have fought the Moth man at some point.

Teddy Roosevelt wrestled Bigfoot over Jackalope hunting rights.

It's not well known that Teddy had the finest collection of stuffed Jackalopes ever assembled in one place - all taken by his own hand.

It's even less well known *why* the Jackalope was the first cryptid with a federal bounty.

Roosevelt would most certainly have traveled to the big woods to fight the scourge of dogmen up there

Andrew Jackson in his war against the Creek in Alabama vs a man-eating Swamp monster summoned by his desperate foes.

Or the vampires running the Federal Bank.
