Cryptozoology is the search for animals
that are rumored to exist, but for
which conclusive proof is missing.
This includes the search for living
examples of animals that are known
to have existed at one time, but are
widely considered to be extinct today.
Those who study or search for such
animals are called crypto zoologists,
while the hypothetical creatures involved
are referred to by some as "cryptids",
a term coined by John Wall in 1983.
Cryptids are legendary creatures
that are rumored or suspected to exist,
but for which conclusive proof is
still missing. Cryptids also include
Unidentified Mysterious Animals (UMA)
and species that are hard to classify.
Some are extinct animals that might
just still be alive. The most notable
Cryotids still make international
news now and then, from the el Chupacabra
to the Loch Ness monster. Their stories
and sightings still have a dramatic
effect on the public.
