Cryptozoology - the study of newly discovered, rediscovered, and still unknown species of animals.
While much study concerns new species of bugs and invertebrates, we're interested in the monsters of legend and bad science fiction movies.
Below are some of our favorites and links to their WWW haunts.
The Abominable Snowman
Yak herders in Bhutan and Tibet still believe in the Abominable Snowman, a mysterious ape-like creature that lives above snowline at 15,000 feet. Snowmen are even pictured in old Tibetan and Bhutanese murals and were once supposedly quite common.
Other cultures also have legends of snowmen, most noticeably North America's Bigfoot.
