` (UTC)  I ENTIRELY dissagre. Cryptozoology is not merely ``ndistinct melted footprints in the snow, endless streams of faked videos, and claims and sightings that have no substance to them whatsoever``. Cryptozoology does and has contributed greatly to out undertsanding of zoology before, with the discovery of species and fossils previously thought to be myth. Honestly, what seems more strange, the duck billed platipus, or a homind/primate living in north america?   Also Based on dr. fox's quote in the section above, it DOES link to cryptozoology.   I would also like to point out that both of us seem to have a bias here, based on the way you worded the above, and I will freely admit that I have a bias for cyptozoology. Regardless, your assumption that ``no scientist worth his salt`` would belive in cryptozoology is close minded, overly skeptical.   However, the paranormal tag should be removed. There is a difference between a unknown phenomena, animals yet to be discovered, and the supernatural.   16:03, 9 August 2011`
