What Kind of -ology is That?


Cryptozoology is not something a lot of people have ever heard of--but it exists. Cryptozoologists are interested in the study of animals that have not yet been accepted by science. Creatures like sea serpents, yeti, and Bigfoot fall into this category. They also search for more commonplace animals that may or may not have gone extinct such as the ivory-billed woodpecker, giant vampire bat, or pygmy elephant. Before you click to a new site beware cryptozoologists have had some successes in the past. For example, the pongo--now known as the gorilla and the coelacanth, a prehistoric fish once thought to be extinct. Cryptzoologist are not interested in magic creatures but real creatures that just haven't been found yet.
