I ran across this list of scary monsters, and knew you’d all be simply fascinated. Interesting to note that some of these ”legendary” critters actually do exist or did exist!
Cryptids are creatures that are under investigation by cryptozoologists, but haven’t yet been accepted as “real” by scientists.
Cryptozoologists look for creatures like sea serpents and the yeti, hoping to gather enough evidence to prove that these beings exist. They also look for more commonplace animals, such as the ivory-billed woodpecker, the giant vampire bat, the inflatable hedgehog and the pygmy elephant.
The word cryptid comes from the Greek word “krypto” meaning “to hide”.
