I've been thinking that not everyone may know what cryptozoology is. So I will explain. It is the study of hidden or unknown animals. Such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and other animals that have not yet been proven to exist. It also includes animals such as the coelacanth pronounced see-luh-kanth, a fish which was thought to have gone extinct with the dinosaurs until one was caught in 1938 off the coast of south africa. Also the okapi was a cryptozoological animal, or cryptid, until it was discovered in 1900 deep in the forests of the Belgian Congo.
