History of Cryptozoology
Cryptozoology is the science of hidden animals. Benard Heuvelmans came up with the term in 1959. Popular examples of hidden animals
include Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. In the article Cryptozoology by Michael Wyatt, he discusses the life of respected biologist Roy Mackel. Mackel was particularly interested in the Loch Ness Monster. Many people in today's society view these creatures as made up legends. Therefore, he approached the idea of such a creature with a scientific investigation, rather than through conspiratorial means. Mackel strove to present Cryptozoology to skeptics as science to restore its legitimacy.
