Lars Thomas: The Animals that Shouldn’t

Exist

Strange and fantastic animals have always

been a part of human society. They lurk in

the comer of our eyes, when we walk

through a forest late at night, or pass through

a cemetery. Today most of these creatures

have been banished to the realm of fantasy

but, according to the modem science of

cryptozoology, some of the strange and supposedly

imaginary beings that are still seen

today, might be real animals, so far not

recognized by conventional zoological

science. Cryptozoologists study three different

types of animals: 1. Common species

seen in places where they shouldn't or

couldn’t be. 2. Well-known, but supposedly

extinct species still being seen. 3. Supposedly

fantastic or mythological beings that

might be real. Most conventional zoologists

are very sceptical towards these animals,

possibly because they challenge the normally

accepted view of the natural world.
