  • Cryptozoology is the search for animals that are rumored to exist, but for which conclusive proof is missing. Those who study or search for such animals are called cryptozoologists.
  • Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are reported, but not proven, to exist. The direct meaning of the word is "the study of hidden life." Although considered a fringe science or a pseudoscience by many scientists, cryptozoology has captured the attention of many young earth creationists (YEC); that's because many of the animals (called cryptids) investigated by cryptozoologists strongly resemble extinct animals such as dinosaurs and pterosaurs (See Press Releases on Living Dinosaurs and Living Pterosaurs). Young Earth Creationists hope to shed doubt on accepted dates for the Age of the Earth, or validate a literal Genesis Flood, by proving life forms thought to be long-extinct to be, in fact, still alive.
  • Cryptozoology is the study of animals that haven't been proven to exist. It comes from the Greek word "kryptos" for hidden, and zoology, a study of animals. Animals that are subjects of cryptozoological study are called cryptids.

  • Cryptozoology is the study of animals that haven't been proven to exist. It comes from the Greek word "kryptos" for hidden, and zoology, a study of animals. Animals that are subjects of cryptozoological study are called cryptids. Cryptozoology is the victim of several unfortunate circumstances which have prevented it from being more widely recognized among the scientific community. According to a 2011 paper, some of these include the sensationalization of reports by the media, cryptids being widely regarded as jokes by the general public, and the influence of fringe paranormal researchers referred to as "paracryptozoologists" within the movement.
