Abstract

Cryptozoology (from Greek kpuntóc, kryptos, "hidden" + zoology; literally, "study of "hidden animals") refers to the search for animals which are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by the field of biology. This includes looking for living examples of animals that are considered extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical support but which appear in myths, legends, or are reported, such as Bigfoot and Chupacabra; and wild animals dramatically outside their normal geographic ranges, such by cryptozoologists that stands John Wall in 1983. The animals cryptozoologists study are often referred to as cryptids, a term coined by Cryptozoology is not a recognized branch of zoology or a discipline of science since it is relies heavily upon anecdotal evidence, stories and alleged sightings Cryptozoology is an pseudoscience.
