Cryptozoology
Our cryptozoology center is designed to give you a
brief introduction to the area of study referred
to as Cryptozoology. Our next goal
is to
help direct you to some of the established and
thorough resources
on and off the world wide web today that focus
on Cryptozoology. We will aim to answer some
common question's the general public may have
and give the basic background and history for
the need of such an "ology".
Cryptozoology 101
Cryptozoology is commonly understood to be the
study of purported animals that conclusive proof
of their existence has not yet been found. Some
current more popular specimens in the field are
Bigfoot or Sasquatch, Loch Ness and Werewolves.
Some previously listed specimens in this same
category to consider are 'Giant Panda' bears,
the 'Duck Billed Platypus', the 'Coelacanth',
and the 'Mountain Gorilla' to name only a few. Now that we have shared a bit
about Cryptozoology let's make sure we're all
saying the word as it has been intended.
Here's a couple
different explanations of how to pronounce cryptozoology, "Crypt_(as in a burial chamber)_o
(as in the letter o)_zo_(where you go to see
captive animals, minus one o)_ol_(as in 'ol' be
busy working on something better for ol when
your reading this)_ogy_(sounds like 'O' and 'G'
both said 'long') and finally the "y" is
pronounced as a long E, or as Yahoo dictionary shows
for the more literary folks still reading
Cryptozoology History
As previously eluded to there are some now generally accepted animals, some that you can most likely find at your local zoo's that were in the last century believed to be misidentifications of known animals, folklore, and or hoaxes.
Let's start with the 'Giant Panda' bear unknown to 'western' civilization until 1869 when French missionaries were brought a dead specimen from its home in China. Still it wasn't until 67 years later in 1937 when the first Giant Panda was hunted and captured alive by western explorers. Today the Giant Panda remains an endangered species with approximately only 1000 living in the wilds of China. The Duck Billed Platypus had one of its first dead specimen studied by scientist in 1797, pronounced a fake and later stamped an official animal in 1802. Most of the previous examples have species that were rumored to be in existence by the locals of each 'legend' sometimes for years, decades or centuries. The Coelacanth had universally believed to be extinct for approximately 80 million years before a five foot (1.5meters) specimen turned up in a fishing net in 1938. It's interesting to note that the next specimen was not caught until 1952. In 1862 some of the first stories of the Mountain Gorilla reached westerners. It wasn't until 1902 when an army officer killed two specimens for study in the west and the purported folklore became fact. This is an animal weighing in over 300 pounds that eluded capture for forty years from when western civilization first had reports. The population is currently believed to be less than 700 in the wild and a history of unsuccessful attempts of habitating in zoos.
