means Someone who searches for and studies animals — like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, or the Mokele-mbembe — whose existence hasn't been scientifically confirmed.

from Built from Greek pieces: 'kryptos' (hidden), 'zoion' (animal), and 'logos' (study) — literally 'the study of hidden animals.' The term was coined in the mid-20th century, popularized by Belgian-French zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans, often called the father of cryptozoology, whose 1955 book on unknown animals helped turn monster-hunting into something that tried to look like a discipline. Mainstream science has never fully embraced it, which is rather the point.
