"Cryptozoology" was coined by Dr. Bernard Heuvelmans in his personal correspondence among colleagues in the 1950s, after the 1955 French publication of his book On the Track of Unknown Animals. Dr. Roy Mackal has written: "...the term 'cryptozoology' seems to me particularly appropriate, coming as it does from the Greek work *kryptos*, meaning 'hidden.' 'unknown,' 'secret,' 'enigmatic,' 'mysterious'; hence literally the study of hidden animals". .... the general feeling is that an important element in the study of hidden animals as envisioned in current cryptozoology is the input of local, native, explorer, and traveler traditions, sightings, tales, legends and folklore of the as-yet unverified animals. It is for this very reason that most, but not all, of the animals under pursuit are large ones. Also, it should be noted, a general sense among Russian cryptozoologists, especially as communicated through the books of Dmitri Bayanov, is that "cryptozoology" is the study of the evidence for hidden animals. Therefore, not too simply, cryptozoology is the study of hidden animals (whether large or small), to date not formally recognized by what is often termed Western science or formal zoology but supported in some way by testimony (in its broadest definition) from a human being and evidence of their presence."

"This web site is dedicated to the journalistic pursuit of unknown animals. There are many stories to be told involving crypto critters where they exist or not. Some undoubtedly are real while others may be simple cases of mistaken identity or folklore, but all are interesting in their own way. This site isn't about UFOs, psychic energy or any supernatural phenomenon. This is strictly a flesh and blood cryptozoology page. No BS allowed here. I believe cryptids are either like other animals in terms of their physiology or don't exist. Feel free to look around and learn about the most mysterious creatures on Earth or submit reports of your own encounter."
