Cryptozoology (from Greek κρυπτός, kriptos, "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 el Chupacabra; and wild animals dramatically outside of their normal geographic ranges, such as phantom cats or "ABC"s (An acronym 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.

A. I'm really into all this kind of stuff. 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!

What does God (any God) think about cryptozoology?
Q. I've been thinking about making a bigfoot movie. I seriously spent all night dreaming about it, writing a script, imagining the outcome. I think any God would get a kick out of it but what would your God think?

A. Question: How do I get into the field of cryptozoology? Are there any classes taught on the subject? Answer: This is one of the most frequent questions I hear. But I'm sorry to say that there are very few classes ever given in cryptozoology (I taught one in 1990) and no formal cryptozoology degree programs available anywhere. So my advice would be to pick whatever subject you are most passionate about (primates? felids? giant squids? fossil men?) and then match it up with the field of study that matches that subject (anthropology, zoology, linguistics, etc.). Pursue that subject, pick the college that is good in that arena, and you can develop your niche in cryptozoology and not go wrong. (I studied anthropology/zoology, and then moved… [cont.]
