Cryptids are animals or plants
not recognized by the scientific community or thought it to be extinct but
alleged by some to still be alive. Cryptids are, for the most part, creatures
of myth and legend, creatures thought to be extinct but which some say may
still exist, or animals thought to have have taken new evolutionary paths and
evolved from previously existing creatures into new variations.
In
cryptozoology and sometimes in cryptobotany, both associated with
pseudoscience, a cryptid is an animal or plant whose existence has been
suggested but has not been discovered or documented by the scientific
community. Cryptids often appear in folklore and mythology, leading to stories
and unfounded belief about their existence. Although Cryptozoology is not considered
a real science, it is based on the sciences of Zoology and Paleontology. Many
Cryptids probably don't exist, but there is a high possibility that others do
