Cryptozoology discussion

it's a very interesting thing. after all, we can't even begin to assume that we have solid evidence of all the creatures on this planet. undiscovered creatures are becoming extinct all the time without us ever knowing they existed. when you look back, how crazy must the first people returning home from travelling Africa have sounded when they describe an elephant or a giraffe. what then of a tapir or platypus. or if someone tried to explain that there are flying creatures that are not birds, that can see in complete darkness by shouting at over 100 decibels and listening to the echos, with enough accuracy to catch tiny fast moving insects. who'd believe it without proof. when you look at how incredible the animal kingdom is, these unproven creatures aren't so strange after all, and it would be arrogant to assume that because one has never been captured that they cannot possibly exist. we barely scratch the surface of the animal kingdom. we don't know everything. and the animal kingdom will never cease to show us newly discovered wonders. who can say that one day such creatures as Bigfoot, or various large aquatic "monsters" and so on, won't one day be proven. I'm in favour of keeping an open mind about these things.

Hi there! Cryptozoology is a new word for me and thanks for explaining it in your discussion. It's quite interesting I must say since you get to discover mysterious animals, undiscovered animals and other phenomenon that goes with them. I'm quite familiar with paleontology though and it is also an interesting subject or hobby to study. Good luck to finding those hidden animals of the world!

I find it very interesting, and these animals 'unproved' presence is just another evidence that people are really just guests on this earth, although common meaning that are superior to other living creatures, they actually are hopeless and lost.

I am interested in cryptozoology. Every time a new animal is found it fills in one more part of the puzzle we call earth.

I have a lot of interest. There is this group that claim to the big foot be real and they believe in them and also there are too many sightings of big foot in north america both in us and canada, and I find it so intriguing because when the number of witness is high why would I doubt all of thousand people are lieing?

Every year we hear reports of new species being discovered. Just recently there was a report that several previously uncharted or unnamed islands have finally been mapped. If we can miss an island and we discover new animals every year why would we conclude that we have found all of anything? New discovers await.

Hello Dinoman, One or two big unknown animals are discovered every year, and there are possibly some unknown insects living in your garden. Cryptozoology is historically interesting and some of these mythic animals may have existed or are existing somewhere in our planet. We do not still know every living creature on Earth and there are still some interesting discoveries to come. Thank you for this interesting discussion.

Well ,I think so.

I believe! :D My favorite famous cryptozoological creature has to be the Chupacabras because I like how some people think it might be an alien and I love it's terrifying appearance. I think Nessie might just be a dinosaur and Bigfoot some kind of ape.
