	Cryptozoology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cryptozoology is the study of rumored or mythological animals that are presumed (at least by the researcher) to exist, but for which conclusive proof does not yet exist, or are generally considered extinct, but occasionally reported.
		Unlike mainstream animal experts (who typically focus vary narrowly on a specific species for their study), many cryptozoologists study or research a broad range of alleged creatures from many different families.
		In the early days of western exploration of the world, many native tales of unknown animals were initially dismissed as mythology or superstition by western scientists, but consequently proven to have a real basis in biological fact.

	CryptoZoo
		Many animals have gone extinct over the last few hundred years as a result of ecological disruption caused by humans migrating to new environments or direct attempts to exterminate "problem" species.
		Most mystery animals dealing relevant to cryptozoology are known by tradition and collective memory, and therefore possess a vernacular name (or several ones) among the natives.
		Tracks and trails, photographies and movies, sonar echoes, injury marks, hybridization marks, evidence of symbiosis with another species or modification of the environment can be considered as potential associated “proofs”.

	The Cryptozoologist: Cryptozoology
		Therefore, not too simply, cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals (whether large or small), to date not formally recognized by what is often termed Western science or formal zoology but supported in some way by testimony (in its broadest definition) from a human being and evidence of their presence.
		Cryptids are in the most limited definition, either unknown species of animals or those that are thought to be extinct but which may have survived into modern times and await rediscovery by scientists.
		For example, the large unknown "Monster" in a local lake is a cryptid until it is caught and shown to be a known species such as an alligator.

		The animals that Cryptozoologists search for (referred to as "cryptids") fall into one of four large catagories that Chad Arment indentifies in his book The Search for Enigmatic Animals.
		Unknown animals that don't match the description of any known species, living or extinct.
		This is because an individual anomalous animal can be easy to explain -- a single kangaroo loose in the United States could be a recent escapee from a zoo; a population of kangaroos living wild in the United States would be far more difficult to explain.

		A person specialized in Cryptozoology, the hunt for evidence of the existence of large animals considered by most scientists to be legendary, mythological, or extinct.
		Literally "the study of hidden/unknown animals," Cryptozoology is primarily concerned with the discovery and confirmation of the existence of large animals considered by most scientists to be legendary, mythological, or extinct; such animals are refered to as cryptids.

		Much of Cryptozoology is concerned with exactly this, a search for animals that have not been seen for a long time, and are considered extinct by most authorities.
		After all, many animals declared extinct have been found alive and well, and sometimes in healthy populations.
		They are continually looking for long lost animals without success, but missing the real ones tripped over by undergrads tromping the bushes gathering mundane data on bird droppings.

	THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY - Paranormal Phenomena (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Therefore, not too simply, cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals (whether large or small), to date not formally recognized by what is often termed Western science or formal zoology but supported in some way by testimony (in its broadest definition) from a human being.
		In palaeontology, the science of extinct animals, the whole animal is seldom at our disposal (with the exception of the mammoths frozen in the Siberian permafrost or the insects of the yellow amber of the Baltic) : we often possess only some bone fragments, and sometimes only tracks of the passage of the animal (Chirotherium).
		By the way, cryptozoology and palaeontology are disciplines related to zoology, they are interested in "hidden" animals (in space or in time), the knowledge of which is fragmentary, they are based on circumstancial evidence, and the identikit pictures in cryptozoology are as likely as the reconstructions of prehistoric animals.

		That the animal tolerated the entire procedure without being sedated or tethered was a superb achievement by both her and the team of keepers.
		If a zoo has only one species of poisonous animal, odds are that it will be either a spider or a scorpion, and Schmidt has written as fine and comprehensive an introduction to them and their poisons as one could hope for.
		Among suggested reasons for the observed differences in growth rates are a difference in the way the parents feed their chicks, the presence of symbiotic bacteria and/or an unknown growth factor (`crop milk') in the parents that is transferred to the chicks, or possible nutritional deficiencies in the hand-feeding diets.

		This is the most scientifically rigorous and complete books on recently discovered large animals -- such as the Pleistocene Peccary (the largest of all hogs, believed to have been extinct since the last age but recently discovered in Paraguay) -- to various possibly soon-to-be discovered megafauna such as Yetis, Sasquatchs -- and maybe even Mammoths.
		If sensationalized and cheap TV shows about "mysterious animals" nauseate you, but nonetheless leave you with a nagging feeling that there might be a large critter lurking beneath the copious serving of tripe, this is definitely the book for you.
		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.

		The response to the publishing of this book was explosive, and the book was republished in several languages and quickly spread around the world.
		The study of "unknown" animals started to become a valid and respected discipline of zoology, and created many "laymen" cryptozoologists around the world.
		Most of these discoveries are of limited interest to the general public, such as new species of insects, jellyfish, worms, etc., but some have been spectacular, such as the muntiac deer of Borneo, a strange new species of deer in Vietnam, and the Coelacanth.

		Bernard Heuvelmans is the founder of "cryptozoology" - the science of hidden animals.
		First published before the validity and importance of the subject was recognized, and now rewritten to take account of the newest discoveries, "On the Track of Unknown Animals" is both a popular introduction to cryptozoology and a scientific presentation of "hidden" animals.
		The striking progress of cryptozoology is illustrated by the fact that in the past 12 years alone, some 40 spectacular new animal species have been discovered and described to science, and this book presents evidence of numerous others.

	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.

		Another Vietnam veteran story: Several years ago, Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans in his book, On the Track of Unknown Animals, devoted considerable space to a relation of reports of completely wild, fully haired, sub-hominids in what was then Indochina.
		In view of reports of similar creatures now established from all over the world - central Asia; northern Scandinavia and the Caucasus in Europe; West, Central, and Southeast Africa; North and South America — it should not be too surprising to be offered some possible confirmatory evidence from Viet-Nam.
		These tracks were about 18 inches long and eight inches wide.' Someone suggested that the tracks were made by Ho Chi Minh sandals, which are made of car tires.
