“More broadly, then, we do not know whether a cryptid is an unknown species of animal, or a supposedly extinct animal, or a misidentification, or anything more than myth until evidence is gathered and accepted one way or another. Until that proof is found, the supposed animal carries the label “cryptid,” regardless of the potential outcome and regardless of various debates concerning its true identity. When it is precisely identified, it is no longer a cryptid, because it is no longer hidden.”

Brilliant paragraph. Exemplifies that the field of Cryptozoology has to be open to change, whether or not it comes in the form of a grand reveal. Yet, by these standards, where does one draw the line between entities in many creation accounts and reports from more modern eyewitnesses?
