Cryptozoology
Remember the days when you were a kid reading non-fiction novels that introduced a whole new group of creatures into your life and imaginations. Those days when you would wander around in search for Bigfoot or the rare occasion when you would find yourself near a huge body of water, thus wondering if the Lochness monster was inside. I believe all children are masters of zoology, which is the study of hidden animals. "Cryptozoology relies heavily upon testimonials and circumstantial evidence in the form of legends and folklore, and the stories and alleged sightings of mysterious beasts by indigenous people, explorers, and travelers." Theses trained professionals focus on creatures not only including Big Foot or the Loch Ness Monsters, but they also search for white or black squirrels, the Chupacabra, and mermaids. No matter what new creature is imagined, drawn on paper, or thought to be seen on a mysterious location, children and trained professionals alike will be sharing the honor of opening their imaginations and letting their desires for excitement flow abundantly.
