Nouncryptozoology (uncountable) Derived termsRelated termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cryptozoology (from Greek κρυπτός, kryptos, "hidden" + zoology; literally, "study of hidden animals") refers to the search for animals which are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by mainstream biology. This includes looking for living examples of animals which are extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical support but which appear in myths, legends, or are reported, such as Bigfoot and Chupacabra; and wild animals dramatically outside of their normal geographic ranges, such as phantom cats or "ABCs" (an initialism commonly used by cryptozoologists that stands for Alien Big Cats). According to authors Ben Roesch and John Percy Moore, "Cryptozoology ranges from pseudoscientific to useful and interesting, depending on how it is practiced." They further note that it is "not strictly a science", that "many scientists and skeptics classify cryptozoology as a pseudoscience" and that "papers on the topic are rarely published in scientific journals, no formal education on the subject is available, and no scientists are employed to study cryptozoology." Those involved in cryptozoological study are known as cryptozoologists. The animals they study are often referred to as cryptids, a term coined by John Wall in 1983. From Wikipedia under the

Bigfoot, Yeti's, the Loch Ness Monster, etc. I believe there are a lot of undiscovered things out there, some of which may never be discovered. If you're into reading I'd suggest this book. It's called "The Greatest Monsters in the World" by Daniel Cohen. It's a pretty easy read. Here's some sites!

Q. Is cryptozoology considered a legitimate science? Asked by nebelfeen - Tue Apr 24 14:48:31 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes. As I understand the scientific field does recognize it as a legitimate science, unfortunately you have individuals who laugh and scoff at it because they assume that all cryptozoologists are out there to prove that Big Foot exists, which is not the case. A real cryptozoologist looks for different species that may or may not be extinct. They often get a bad rap because most people assume that they are out to prove that, what we consider myths and legends, strange creatures exist. It is a legitimate science and anyone who tells you differently doesn't know what it is...
