	Bernard Heuvelmans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bernard Heuvelmans (October 10, 1916 – August 22, 2001) was a scientist, explorer, researcher, and a writer probably best known as a founder of cryptozoology.
		Heuvelmans searched the world's oceans for giant animals, to substantiate the rumors and legends about animals known to local people but still unknown to science.
		In 1975 Heuvelmans established the Center for Cryptozoology in France, where his library is housed.

	Bernard Heuvelmans Obituary
		Bernard Heuvelmans born in Le Havre, France, on 10 October 1916, of a Dutch mother and a Belgian father.
		In 1968, Heuvelmans visited Minnesota (at Sanderson's invitation) to examine what was claimed to be the cadaver of a an unknown 'primitive' hominoid preserved in a block of ice, the subject of his L'homme de Neanderthal est toujours vivant (with Boris Porshnev, 1974).
		Heuvelmans' Centre for Cryptozoology, established in 1975, was first housed near Le Bugue in the south of France, but in the 1990s moved to Le Vesinet, closer to Paris.

	Heuvelmans
		Heuvelmans' contributions to cryptozoology, zoology, and anthropology are significant and far-reaching, and his impact on generations to come will cross decades.
		Bernard Heuvelmans was born in Le Havre, France on October 10, 1916, of a Dutch mother and of a Belgian father.
		Heuvelmans said he merely wanted to be remembered as "The Father of Cryptozoology." He will be recalled thusly for his efforts on behalf of the new science, as well as his personality and scholarship.

	Bernard Heuvelmans: Obituary
		Heuvelmans, who had become a Buddhist during his lifetime, was buried in Buddhist monk attire during a private funeral at Le Vesinet on August 27.
		Bernard Heuvelmans was born in Le Havre on October 10, 1916, of a Dutch mother and a Belgian father in exile, and was raised as a "native of Belgium." Heuvelmans found he had a love of natural history from an early age, keeping all kinds of animals, especially monkeys.
		Heuvelmans said he merely wanted to be remembered as "The Father of Cryptozoology." He will be recalled thusly for his efforts on behalf of the new science, as well as much more, for his personality and scholarship.

	wodcryptozoology
		Bernard Heuvelmans, by now one of the foremost proponents of the yeti, was among the experts allowed to examine it.
		Heuvelmans then successfully compared the hairs in the scalp to the hair of a serow (a goat-like creature) in the museum, to prove that the muchly-lauded yeti scalp was, unfortunately, nothing more than a disappointing fake crafted into a stunning conical shape (reminiscent of a huge ape’s head) from serow hair.
		For his part, Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans was sufficiently convinced by his studies to consider the Mokele-Mbembe to be, most probably, a surviving relic of "the great reptile empire that flourished in the Jurassic period" [2]: a medium-sized dinosaur.

		Heuvelmans suspects that they are related to the nittaewo, the semi-aborigines of Ceylon, who were killed off about 1800 by the primitive Veddahs.
		Heuvelmans' theory is that much of southern Asia was inhabited long ago by small, hairy descendants of Java's Pithecanthropus erectus, who were largely exterminated by the invading humans.
		Heuvelmans thinks it may be the strange, scaly creature shown in bas-relief on the Ishtar Gate of ancient Babylon.

	Preliminary Description of the External Morphology of What Appeared to be the Fresh Corpse of a Hitherto Unknown Form ...
		Heuvelmans took a large number of photographs of the specimen in both color and fl-and-white.
		It is Heuvelmans' opinion, which he states categorically in his paper, that this body represents the fresh remains of a neanderthaloid human.
		There are certain firm indications that the specimen examined by Heuvelmans and this writer — though it has been removed from the place where we saw it, and hidden, while a substitute model has been installed — has not been destroyed and may therefore eventually become available for proper scientific examination.

	Institut Virtuel de Cryptozoologie
		Bernard Heuvelmans a commencé à s'intéresser à l'existence possible d'animaux encore inconnus de la science en 1948, et il y a consacré un livre entier, publié chez Plon en 1955, Sur la piste des bêtes ignorées (figures 1 et 2), qui fait toujours référence un demi-siècle plus tard.
		C'est à Bernard Heuvelmans que l'on doit la création-même du mot "cryptozoologie" au milieu des années 50, et d'avoir jeté les bases théoriques de cette discipline.
		En 1968-69, Bernard Heuvelmans eut l'occasion d'étudier aux USA le cadavre congelé d'un homme velu, auquel il a consacré un livre, L'homme de Néanderthal est toujours vivant (1974), en collaboration avec Boris Porchnev (figure 7).

	The Cryptozoologist: Cryptozoology
		Heuvelmans seemingly promoted the notion that he coined the word, and left it at that.
		Then, on 24 August 2001, Heuvelmans died, and I wrote an obituary, which found its way as far as the London Times, which propelled notice of his death to the world.
		While Heuvelmans created cryptozoology as a goal-oriented discipline (endeavoring to prove the existence of hidden animals), the fact that some of these cryptids will turn out not to be new species does not invalidate the process by which that conclusion is reached and does not retroactively discard the prior status as a cryptid.

		Heuvelmans' 1955 book, On The Track of Unknown Animals traces 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.
		Georges Cuvier's so-called "Rash Dictum" (a phrase coined by Heuvelmans) is sometimes cited as a reason that researchers should avoid unfounded, "rash" conclusions: in 1821, Cuvier remarked that it was unlikely for any large, unknown animal to be discovered, not because they aren't conspicuous, but because there aren't that many.

	The UnMuseum - Minnesota Iceman
		Heuvelmans had been a house guest of Sanderson when the two of them heard about creature, not quite human and very hairy, that was preserved in a block of ice.
		Heuvelmans guessed that the creature had been murdered in Vietnam during the war and smuggled into the United States in a "body bag."
		Heuvelmans wrote a paper about the beast for the Institute of Natural Sciences in Belgium entitled, "Preliminary Note on a Specimen Preserved in Ice; Unknown Living Hominid." Sanderson wrote an article, called "Living Fossil," on the same subject for Argosy Magazine.

	Nandi Bear
		Heuvelmans quotes this passage to illustrate that bears existed "even in the heart of Africa," although by Libya the Greeks referred only to North Africa; Kenya, for instance, would have been placed by the Greeks in Æthiopia.
		Bernard Heuvelmans makes a special note of Hobley's statement that the Koddoelo had a fifth claw-mark behind the marks of its four toes.
		Heuvelmans mentions that the strangest fact about the Nandi Bear is not its appearance, but its supposed ferocity; even those animals notorious for attacking man will do so without provocation only extremely rarely.

	Dubious Globster
		This carcass was brought to the attention of Bernard Heuvelmans by a viewer of his television show.
		The witness recalled that the carcass was 16 feet long, with a tortoise liek head, two cartilaginous antennae, a long neck, and a body covered with oval shaped scales, a seal or turtle like body, and four short fins.
		Heuvelmans was puzzled by the antennae, but realized the basking shark has two rostral cartilage supports, which were probably responcible for the "Scapasaurus" horns as well.

		But Sanderson and Heuvelmans knew of at least fifteen technical differences between the original and the replacement, thanks to photographs of the traveling exhibit taken by Mark A. Hall and Loren Coleman.
		When the Smithsonian Institution and the FBI got involved, Hansen explained that the creature was owned by a millionaire and declined to have it further examined.
		Heuvelmans theorized it was a Neandertal killed in Vietnam during the war and smuggled into the United States in a "body bag." Its Erectus-like features, however, match quite well some of the reports coming out of Central Asia [within and just north of Pakistan].

	Types of sea serpents
		In his book, In the Wake of the Sea Serpents, Bernard Heuvelmans came to the conclusions that there must be several different kinds of sea serpents, as the many sightings gave very different descriptions.
		Heuvelmans considered the existence of the Father-of-all-Turtles to doubtful.
		Heuvelmans suggested that it might a shark or other fish, or even an ampihibian.

	Gallery of Globsters
		For those with further interest in the subject, Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans--in his In the Wake of the Sea-Serpents (Hill and Wang, New York, 1968)--feels that it is unlikely for a sea serpent, except for "eel-shaped sharks," to be washed up on a beach and stranded.
		One interesting aspect of the transformation from basking shark to mystery carcass is that as the shark decomposes its fibrous muscle tissue takes on the appearance of a white hairy coat, further confusing identification.
		Bernard Heuvelmans doubts whether any zoologist in the world would have been able to identify the carcass, since few, if any, have ever seen the animal alive.

	Crytozoology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The word "cryptozoology" was invented by zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans during the 1950s to described the type of research that he has conducted since 1948.
		Heuvelmans coined the term from Greek roots: zoon (animal), logos (discourse), and the prefix krytos (hidden); therefore, if zoology is "the science of animals", cryptozoology is, from the etymological point of view, "the science of hidden animals".
		From his research Dr. Heuvelmans' chief intention has been to develop a methodology to systematically locate animal species or sub-species still unknown to science, but whose existence can be established on testimonial evidence (sightings), circumstantial evidence (indirect evidence), or even practical evidence (which everybody can see) but considered insufficient by some.

		Heuvelmans, within the text of his book, sourced the story with the Reverend Abraham Cunningham.
		Bernard Heuvelmans could never track down the location of "Bagaduse," and suggested in his book it might be a misspelling of "Bogalusa." Bogalusa is a landlocked town in Louisiana, which later would become infamous for its KKK (racist) activity.
		Heuvelmans gave a hint that the "Bagaduse" sighting belongs in Maine.

	The Abominable Showman
		The prominent cryptozoologists Ivan T. Sanderson and Bernard Heuvelmans headed for Hansen's farm in Minnesota in December 1968.
		Dr Heuvelmans had taken a cord down and laid this 150 watt bulb right on that cold glass and it had just shattered it.
		So, whether Sanderson and Heuvelmans were right, and this is the closest we've got to the real Bigfoot, or whether John Napier was right and Hansen pulled off one of the best cryptozoological scams ever, I still don't know.

		Lived near Norway and Greenland, and presumed to be extinct by Heuvelmans.
		Heuvelmans theorized eel, synbranchid, and elasmobranch identities as being possible.
		It is not clear if Heuvelmans intended them to be known species or extreme forms of known species.

	Minnesota Iceman
		Two cryptozologists, Ivan Sanderson and Bernard Heuvelmans, examined the "iceman" and concluded it was a genuine creature such a Neanderthal Man or Bigfoot.
		Heuvelmans wrote a paper titled "Preliminary Note on a Specimen Preserved in Ice; Unknown Living Hominid," which was published in the Bulletin of the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium.
		What they fail to mention is that Heuvelmans was clearly on the fringe of the scientific community and also published a book on sea serpents.

	cryptozoology
		Since cryptozoologists spend most of their energy trying to establish the existence of creatures, rather than examining actual animals, they are more akin to psi researchers than to zoologists.
		Expertise in zoology, however, is asserted to be a necessity for work in cryptozoology, according to Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans, who coined the term to describe his investigations of animals unknown to science.

	AMERICAN MONSTERS
		Known as the "Father" of cryptozoology, Bernard Heuvelmans was born in Le Havre, France on October 10, 1916, to a Dutch mother and a Belgian father, both of whom were living in exile.
		Raised in the fashion of his parents' native land, Heuvelmans expressed a passion for zoology and natural history at an early age - much to the chagrin of his Jesuit instructors who were mortified by his unholy belief in Darwinian evolution.
		In 1939 Heuvelmans received a doctorate in zoology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, in Belgium, winning early acclaim for a series of well respected papers regarding classic mammalian Orthodontia, most notably his thesis involving the hitherto unclassifiable teeth of the unique, African aardvark known as the Orycteropus after.

		Bernard Heuvelmans (figure 1), who is considered the "father" of cryptozoology, has just given all his archives, the result of 50 years of cryptozoological research, to the Musée Cantonal de Zoologie in Lausanne (Switzerland).
		All the cryptozoologists will be happy that this huge mass of documents has not been lost, but on the contrary that it is now at the disposal of the researchers.
		But they will feel sad, also, as it means that Bernard Heuvelmans, now 83 years old, is no more active in cryptozoology.

		The scope of the coverage is breathtaking, revealing the author's encyclopedic command of the field and unmistakably belying his tremendous enthusiasm for the material.
		Other aspects that are equally indicative of the author's love for his material include the proliferation of hand-drawn illustrations: while clearly no artist, he has striven to provide visual aids-even as minor as a small piece of skin or a vague scrimshaw on narwhal tusk-wherever they might prove edifying.
		Brenard Heuvelmans (1916-2001) was one of the true pioneers in Cryptozoology (study of hidden animals) "On the Track of Unknown Animals" is certainly a must for those who find this topic interesting.
