A RESEARCHER IN THIS FIELD IS KNOWN AS A CRYPTOZOOLOGIST
What is cryptozoology, you ask? It is the study of creatures whose existence has not been confirmed by science. Many scientists in fields related to cryptozoology, such as biology and conservation, consider it a pseudoscience. As Cambridge professors Bill Adams and Shane McCorristine write for The Conversation, many conservationists consider the hunt for cryptids, i.e., mythical creatures, to be a waste of time when we've got so many other animals whose existences are both confirmed and threatened who need our protection.
