Besides, if we knew for certain what they were they wouldn't be cryptids, they'd just be animals. |

as I will get into later, you can have have ethnoknown species which no one would dare hesitate to label as animals. The problem is that cryptozoology overly concerns itself with the fantastic (one reason that pseudoscience has become so much more prominent in the field) |

Trust me mysticete, cryptozoology as long as I can remember has been happily married to pseudoscience. Back when cryptozoology researcher where actually cool, they would also have interests in things like ESP, UFO's and just about any other strange happenings that are part of popular culture. To this day I don't see a dollars difference between paranormal and cryptozoology research and enjoy both. |

well, Heuvelmans, Richard Greenwell, Grover Krantz, and a few others I think did stay away from the paranormal aspect. Unfortunately, they and others have essentially died off :( |
