Cryptids

Cryptids are creatures that some people believe exist based on anecdotal evidence, folklore, or unverified sightings, but which have not been scientifically proven to exist. Examples include Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Chupacabra. Cryptozoology is the study of these creatures, often blending elements of science, mythology, and popular culture. While many cryptids are dismissed by mainstream science due to a lack of empirical evidence, they capture the imagination and curiosity of those interested in the mysteries of the natural world.
