Biology : Cryptozoology Cryptozoology , literally the science of hidden animals, comes from three Greek words, kryptos (hidden), zoon (animal), and logos (discourse). The animals that cryptozoology is concerned with are unexpected in some way, because they are incompletely known (Heuvelmans, 1988). - Hidden animals, with which cryptozoology is concerned, are by definition very incompletely known. To gain more credence, they have to be documented as carefully and exhaustively as possible by a search through the mosr diverse fields of knowleige. Cryptozoological research thus requires not only a thorough grasp of most of the zoological sciences, including, of course, physical anthropology, but also a certain training in such extraneous branches of knowledge as myrhology, linguistics, archaeology and history. It will consequently be conducted more extensively in libraries, newspaper morgues, regional archives, museums' art galleries, laboratories, and zoological parks rather than in the field! - (Heuvelmans, Cryptozoology Vol. 7 1988)
