What exactly are cryptids? The term itself comes from the Greek 'krypto' meaning hidden. So, cryptids are the hidden animals, not yet cataloged by conventional science. These are creatures reported to exist based on anecdotal evidence, eyewitness accounts, and sometimes even grainy photographs, but they remain unconfirmed by modern science. They range from the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland to Bigfoot in the forests of North America, from the Yeti of the Himalayas to the Chupacabra of Latin America.
