 The CryptoWeb: An Online Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology
Cryptozoology is generally a discredited sort of pseudoscience, based on the assumption it's primarily concerned with Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.  As a result, it's usually (unfortunately) found in bookstores next to volumes on astrology, UFOs, and other fringe sciences.
Cryptozoology today is in a transitional phase--still technically considered a fringe science, it is gaining more and more respectability as the track record of newly-discovered animals previously known from the cryptozoological literature has grown.  More and more cryptozoologists are taking a practical approach to their science.
Now, as we stand in the early days of a new millennium, cryptozoology could be awaiting a third renaissance.  If even one of the major cryptids (cryptozoological animals) were discovered, the science could leap over into the mainstream and become a full part of  "normal" zoology.
