Oudemans concluded that such creatures might be a previously unknown large seal, which he dubbed Megophias megophias.
In 1895, Oudemans left The Hague to teach biology in the city of Sneek.

In 1892 Dr. Anthonid Cornelis Oudemans, director of the Dutch Royal Zoological Gardens at the Hague, published his definitive work on cryptozoology – long before cryptozoology was even a popular idea.
Oudemans may have written the book on sea-serpents but it's Bernard Heuvelmans who is broadly recognized to have been the father of cryptozoology.
Apparently the older specimens in the I.E.W. enclosure - one of whom is known to have terrorised Buddhist monks during the Tang dynasty - were not considered suspects in the Peru investigations.

However, Heuvelmans attributed coinage of the term to the late Scottish cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson in the 1930's or 1940's in his book In the Wake of the Sea Serpents.
Similarly, Heuvelmans' monumental 1955 book, On The Track of Unknown Animals is often seen as the discipline's genesis, even though Heuvelmans traced the scholarly origins of the discipline to Anthonid Cornelis Oudemans and his 1892 study, The Great Sea Serpent.
Heuvelmans argued that cryptozoology should be undertaken with scientific rigor, but also with an open-minded, interdisciplinary approach.

Other hypotheses are that modern-day monsters are surviving specimens of giant marine reptiles, such as ichthyosaur or plesiosaur, from the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods, or extinct whales like Basilosaurus.
In 1892, Anthonid Cornelis Oudemans, then director of the Royal Zoological Gardens at The Hague saw the publication of his The Great Sea Serpent which suggested that many sea serpent reports were best accounted for as a previously unknown giant, long-necked pinniped.
It is likely that many other reports of sea monsters are misinterpreted sightings of shark and whale carcasses (see below), floating kelp, logs or other flotsam such as abandoned rafts, canoes and fishing nets.
