Cryptozoology, which literally means ‘the 1) study of hidden animals,’ refers to the search for animals whose 2) existence hasn’t been proven. Cryptozoology includes looking for 3) living examples of animals that are considered 4) extinct (e.g. dinosaurs), as well as animals whose existence lacks physical 5) evidence but which appear in myths and legends (e.g. Bigfoot; the Loch Ness Monster). The animals that cryptozoologists study are referred to as ‘6) cryptids’. Cryptozoologists rely heavily on alleged 7) eyewitness accounts and popular 8) legends.
