Cryptozoology

The search for and the study of animals that have not been proven to exist. Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster are two of the most-studied and most well-known animals of cryptozoology. Although cryptozoologists claim that their methods are scientific and that they are conducting actual research, their claims are generally not accepted by the scientific community at large due to poor methodology and lack of evidence.Vanity Fair: Culture & Celebrity Blog (October 30, 2008)
