Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are rumored to exist. Such creatures are called "cryptids." Some, like the gorilla, giant squid and okapi, are no longer rumors and legend but real creatures recognized by science. Others, like Bigfoot and Nessie, continue to tempt the hopeful and the adventurous with the possibility of their existence. But haven’t we discovered nearly every species of animal on Earth, you might ask? Far from it. In 2016 alone, scientists discovered roughly 18,000 new animal species. That’s not to mention that 80 percent of the world’s oceans are still green land for monsters, unobserved and unexplored, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
