The branch that unravels the unsolved mysteries of the animal kingdom: cryptozoology.
Cryptozoology - A new word that has been discussed in the field of science in recent times, the word cryptozoology is derived from the Greek word krits (hidden, concealed).
This is a branch of zoology that studies the hidden animals that have never been seen before. Hidden here are animals that have strong evidence of their existence, but there are some things that today's science does not accept them. That is to say, this branch studies animals which are mentioned in our folklore, mythology but no evidence of its existence has been found.
Well known authors Ben Rosech and John Precy Moore write that; “This is a scientific branch that seeks to test the unscientific approach. Moreover, many scientists are unwilling to accept it as a branch of science. Scientists refer to it as 'pseudeo science'. That is why research on such a branch is not published in any good research papers. Not only that, there is no systematic education on this subject. So, if you are interested in seeing such a strange animal that you want to study cryptozoology, then sorry! For this, hardly any reputable university offers you such a course. There are very few scientists who are doing research in this field.
A student of the cryptozoology branch is referred to as a 'Cryptozoologist' and the animal being studied in it (because this is a branch for animals) is referred to as 'Cryprice'. The term was coined in the 1983 century by a scientist named John Well. So far, the cryptozoology book has recorded about 1976 animals, most of which are marine animals.
The Father of Cryptozoology: Bernard Heuvelmans
In 1955 he allocated a huge budget for the research of such animals. He then wrote a book, On the Track of Unknown Animals, which is just as useful in cryptozoology today. In this book he recommended this branch considering some of the research papers of Anthonie Cornelis Oudemans in the 1982. This is the beginning of cryptozoology.
Even after 'On the Track
....', Heuvelmans wrote many other books and articles. Many of which were also translated into English. His ideology of tracing animals on the basis of probability and folklore aroused great enthusiasm among the common people and also earned a name. But it failed to get the attention of mainstream scientists.
His other book was "In the Wake of the Sea - Serpent". Which also gained a lot of popularity. In later parts of the book, he talked about sea giants. During his research, he felt the need to give a new name to his ideology and thus he renamed his branch of finding hidden animals 'Cryptozoology'.... Heuvelmans plowed a great deal during his research. He did a lot of searching for the weird-poor animals he heard in folklore in the 1960. Meanwhile, there was a lot of talk about 'Mitrasota Iceman'. This iceman among the people knew how to arise. As soon as Heuvelmans found out about this, he started searching for Iceman. Whatever information he got in this regard was very interesting and shocking. Based on his own research, he named the iceman a new species, Homo pongaides. There was no denying the existence of the Mishasota Icemen. Yet mainstream scientists rejected his notion.
1975, Heuvelmans set up the Cryptozoology Center in France, where he has a large library. He played a key role in the founding of the International Cryptozoology Society in the 1982 and became its first president. Heuvelmans spent his entire life trying to find animals hidden somewhere in the corner of nature. As a part of which he also had a collection of very interesting information and photographs. About 50000 such documents and photographs were donated to the Louisiana (Switzerland) Zoology Museum in 1999. Heuvelmans is known as the 'Father of Cryptozoology' for his special contribution to this branch.
Cryptozoology - whose secrets are just as fun. There are thousands of animals so far knocking on the door of cryptozoology. If you go to the website and search the list of cryptocurrencies, you will find a long list of cryptocurrencies in different countries around the world. India is no exception! But there were some big heads that became a permanent headache for cryptozoologists. Let's get exciting and interesting information about such top ten cryptidress animals.
Mysterious launch Ness Monster!
Launch Ness Monster is the most well-known animal since the beginning of cryptozoology. Scotland has a beautiful lake called Launch Ness. About the sixth century, the name of the Irish saint became 'Columbia'. This saint first visited this lake.
The animal revealed that it had seen a man dragged deep into the water. Many people claimed to have seen him after the incident. The name of this animal is 'Nessie'. That's right, so far many photographers have captured it on their own cameras. Yet scientists have not been able to come to any concrete conclusions on this issue. The so-called reality of such photographs has largely been overshadowed by rumors or legends. However, eyewitnesses and so-called (so-called) people were asked what this animal looks like. So his answer was just as interesting and shocking. Several couples at Launch Ness Lake have claimed to have experienced this animal. According to him, it is a 'giant eel' (giant spiral or balm fish). Some even called him a walking human snake. Many expeditions have been undertaken to find Launch Ness Moore, but scientists have not been able to find evidence of its existence. According to mainstream scientists and zoologists, Nessie is the only legend, but according to cryptozoologists, the launch Ness Monster can go up to a depth of 700 feet, and this same argument strongly supports the existence of the launch Ness Monster. Whatever the story, Launch Ness Monster and its mysterious history have benefited cryptozologists as well as the Scotland Tourism Department. Due to this immortal legend, Launch Ness Lake has become a special attraction for visitors. Every year thousands of tourists from home and abroad visit this lake and long to see a glimpse of this giant animal somewhere!
Scientists stuck in Bigfoot's footprint.
The second most talked about animal on the list of cryptocurrencies is the Bigfoot. Also known as Sasquatch. This strange so-called creature was spotted in the north-western forests of the Americas-Pacific. It was nicknamed the 'Bigfoot' because of its larger footprint than usual. Look at him. According to those who claimed to have seen the talk, it weighed about 500 pounds and was about 10 feet high! In this, the story of Yeti, who was praised in India by Bigfoot, is as old as time. But the modern bigft story started at 1958. When a bulldozer operator discovered a large number of his footprints in California. At the same time the story became the center of discussion in the media and soon the search for Bigfoot intensified. In another story, Roger Peterson and Robert Hamley, 1968, saw a giant beast roaming the woods near Bahu Creek, California. The funny thing is that even today the imprint of Bigfoot's action is known as the 'Peterson-Gimlin' film, which was accepted as the most solid evidence of Bigfoot's existence. How much fact there is in these stories is still a mystery but for the last fifty years this ghost of Bigfoot has been becoming a legend all over the world, including Australia and California.
Chupakabra sucking the blood of animals!
The Eel Chupacabra is one of the most controversial animals on the list of non-cryptidress animals. Which are last seen in America, Latin America as well as Russia. Thus his name means 'Got Sucker'. This animal was known as Got Sucker because of its strange way of attacking goats and killing them and sucking their blood. This feared animal was spotted in the Puerto Rico (USA) area in the mid-nineties. According to folklore, it was a crawling animal with a very long spine and very sharp teeth while its eyes were red. Interestingly, it left behind a distinctive smell of sulfur! It is common for cows, goats and chickens to be killed by the same method in most of the animals that are victims of Chupacabra.done and even sucked their blood. He also had tooth marks all over his body. He has killed thousands of innocent animals in areas where the possibility of his survival has been expressed. Chupacabra was also claimed to have been hunted in some places. However, mostly wolves and dogs were the victims of this predatory activity.
Yeti: A living ghost standing at the door of zoology!
Thus, Yeti's life was considered a gossip until 1921. The so-called intellectual slave of the world may be adept at persuading the people of the Indian subcontinent, but why did the Irish botanist Charles Howard Berry come up with the idea of climbing Everest? He took the local sherpa to the Himalayan region. At an altitude of 21,000 feet, he was surprised to see a 13-inch-long footprint in the snow. What other animal is this? The local Sherpa immediately said, "Sir, this is Metoth Kangmi." 'Metoth' means a bear that looks like a man and 'Kangmi' means a man of ice. This bear-like creature has never been seen before! However, the first imprint of his step can be seen in 1889. In 1925 Greek photographer N.A.Tombzi claims to have seen him with his own eyes for a minute. Describing his thrilling experience, he said: "Undoubtedly he looks like a man. He walks like a man and if I don't forget he just didn't wear clothes. The rest was just a giant man!
Thus, when Tenzing and Hillary climbed Mount Everest, they saw the footprints of Yeti. So far many people have mentioned about Yeti. Its agar has also been found. Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation. Hillary donates Yeti hair collected during her Himalayan adventures in 1950 to Oxford University.
The body of a giant mothman was also found. It was only at the time of this incident that it was discovered that the locals had seen this strange animal before! There is ample evidence that the mothman was either a giant bird or an owl. He is also depicted as a ghost in some legends. Whatever it is but these stories of Mothman left a good impression on pop culture. The city of Point Pleasant (Virginia) still celebrates the Mothman Festival.
A water dinosaurs -Mokle Mabemeb.
A dinosaur-like creature was found in the waters of the Congo River in Africa! It is said to be a reptile with an elephant-like body and a long neck. In the local rivers of Africa. Starting from 1776 AD. This mysterious creature lived until 1900. Eyewitnesses claimed that it looked like a Brantosaurus dinosaur or a dragon. However, no specific photographs or other evidence are available. There are also mentions that the hunters made him the prey of their own spears. One of the legends about Mokle Mabemeb is very interesting. According to this legend, during a festival, this animal was cooked by the hunters and the villagers got together and cured it! It is said that some of the people who ate it died soon after. Over the past few years researchers have gone into the woods to try to find it. But no evidence was found.
Phantom Cat shaped like a tiger!
The Phantom Cat is a giant animal like the Thunderbird. This feline predator inhabited Asia, Europe, and Oceania. It was also known as ABCs i.e. 'Alien Big Cat'. Based on its appearance, some even compare it to the giant jaguar (leopard-like) found in South America, as well as the figurine (cat family). The most interesting story about the Phantom Cat in the UK in the 1970 was heard. The so-called vampire had preyed on thousands of sheep. At such a time, the British media got the price. A male vampire cat ... With such headlines, this news became the center of attraction of Lo Ko. Even the British government had to announce special compensation for those whose animals were hunted! The Royal Marine Force was also sent to the area to search for the giant cat. But all these soldiers returned with washed mouths and clarified that they had not seen any such animal here.
The stories of Beast of Bodmin were also discussed. However, no concrete evidence of its existence has been found. The investigation was closed on the grounds that the environment and food chain in the area were not conducive to the survival of such a large animal.
A Whirlwind of controversy......
cryptozoology may be considered a boon to biology, but it is also being criticized. Scientists associated with cryptogenology are called cryptologists. It is because of the inconsistent statements of such scientists that this branch has received such good criticism. Mainstream scientists believe that statements made by cryptophologists do not correspond to the scientific method. In addition, such scientists note the existence of animals on the basis of probability and not on the basis of solid evidence.
According to the well-known historian Mikel Das, thousands of such animals, especially those without spines, are knocking on the door of cryptozoology for their own survival. But cryptozoologists seem to have no interest in reaching out to such animals and noting them. Such species include ants and cockroaches. The main reason for this branch's criticism is very controversial. SomeThere have been animals for which many proofs of existence have been found so far but cryptozologists have not yet been able to find these animals. Some scientists also argue that giant animal species such as the Big Foot, Yeti and Launch Ness Monster are also mentioned in ancient cultures but could not be recorded due to lack of solid scientific evidence for their existence. Some scientists have argued that animals of this genus have not been able to breed populations to sustain their lineage. As well as the change in the environment, they could not change their habits, their existence was erased.
Cryptozoiologists arguements ...
That a large number of animals are still to be explored, including the ongoing search for large marine organisms. Many sea creatures are found every year. Therefore, they express the possibility of finding thousands of such animals in the future as well. In addition, such scientists, like the CID team, routinely pursue and hunt for new species of organisms. Experts in this field also justify such hunting activities by such researchers.
CryptoZoology documents are based on an effective paradigm and global opinions, not on pros and cons. Evan T., who has been involved in research in favor of cryptozoology and in particular the Minnesota Iceman. Research by Sanderson and Bernard Heuvelmans without the cooperation of any scientific group.
Christozoologists cannot prove the original purpose of their study. As for the 'Bigfoot', they have not been able to come up with any concrete solution yet. Despite the strong arguments against cryptozoology, the hard work of researchers affiliated with this branch has often paid off. So far there are many animals that do not fit into the parameters that fall within the basic zoological criteria and therefore have not been accepted. But scientists themselves have acknowledged that they once existed on Earth. Enough about such ‘Mountain Gorillas’, For lack of information as well as their remains, they were considered legends. But its existence was acknowledged in 1902. Similarly, 'Hoan Kim Turtle' was left as a mere legend. But later, when their existence was confirmed, they were included in the list of animals in 1998-2002. The best case scenario is 'Okapino' (a giraffe). Scientists finally had to accept its existence in 1901, rather than no. It continues to be the best model for the International Society of Cryptozoology.
Many of the other cryptidresses mentioned earlier, such as the Thunderbird, the Hust Eagle, the Mongolian Death Worm, as well as numerous marine animals and their so-called legends or truths, are prevalent that make the history of cryptozoology even more mysterious and interesting. While a group of scientists may not be ready to accept cryptozoology as a science, the reality is that this branch has given entry to many animals knocking on the door of the animal kingdom. Or say that their existence has been realized. However the list of cryptidress animals is still very long. If we sit down to explore the cultures of different countries around the world, we will find many legends that tell the story of such strange animals. Cryptozoology works to shape the existence of missing animals in such myths.. . .. .
