Cryptozoology is a term that refers to the goal of those believers to prove the existence of entities from the fascinating tales of folklore...such things as Bigfoot or Chupacabras or the Loch Ness Monster, and other such entities that are rumored to be about...there are pictures that are said to be of some of those creatures, but they are often blurry...and the images are indistinct and ambiguous...the term can also pertain to animals that are considered to be extinct like as non-avian dinosaurs...and other kinds of creatures...because it does not follow any specific scientific method, cryptozoology is considered a pseudoscience by those who are rooted in the academic world...in their ivy walled towers and behind their solid oak desks no doubt...cryptozoologists (that is those who work in the field) may use such devices such as motion sensitive cameras that are strategically placed in an attempt to record any actions...they also often use night vision equipment to catch any nocturnal wanderings, and audio recording equipment to document any sounds that the creatures in question may make...sometimes, cryptozoologists are scoffed at and referred to as ‘monster hunters’, but there are enough sightings of these mystery animals that are reported all over the world, that the pursuit of these things remain in the forefront of those who believe.
