Cryptozoology
The study of and the search for animal species whose existence have not been substantiated, and that are not formally recognized by science and/or currently catalogued in the world's zoological databases, but that are supported in some way by testimony (in its broadest definition) from an individual or individuals.
These elusive animals are referred to as cryptids , a term coined by John Wall in 1983.
Cryptozoology is not a recognized branch of zoology or a discipline of science. Most of its body of knowledge and documentation is based on the input of local, native, explorer, and traveler traditions, sightings, tales, legends and folklore of the as-yet unverified animals.
