Cryptozoology is the study of animals whose existence has yet to be proven. If
you’ve ever read stories on cryptids such as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster,
then you have dabbled in cryptozoology. The term is not considered to be
scientific, nor is it a branch of zoology – in fact, those who do believe in
the existence of these undiscovered animals may seem like kooks. So why does
the term exist in the first place? Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience because it
depends on myth, legends, and any evidence of the creature’s existence
including sightings with video, audio, and photography.
With the latest trends in television shows focusing on the mysterious, cryptozoology is being explored more thoroughly. There are shows dedicated to Bigfoot hunters and there are even a few individuals who have capitalized on society’s fascination with these mysterious animals, orchestrating hoaxes. When it all comes down to it, though, many feel that the stories surrounding these creatures must have come from somewhere – some sightings date back earlier than we can record. Stories or legends of these creatures were passed down through generations, and have been embellished or added to after more sightings were reported.
