Although Cryptozoology is not considered a real science, it is based on the sciences of Zoology and Paleontology. Many Cryptids probably don't exist, but there is a high possibility that others do. In fact, National Geographic proved that Hogzilla and the Congo Elephants, two Cryptids thought to be hoaxes or not real, did exist. If more Cryptids do exist, there are scientific evolutionary roots on to how these creatures possibly evolved.
Every animal or plant on this page is marked as one of the following:
Unconfirmed - cryptids whose existence is alleged but not demonstrated.
Discredited; (explanation) - cryptids that have a body of evidence against their existence.
Proposed; (animal name) - cryptids with an alternative explanation accepted by the general scientific community.
Extinct - animals that are generally believed to be extinct, but which cryptozoologists believe may have an extant relict population.
Animals no longer considered as cryptids are marked:
Confirmed (animal name or cause) - animals once classified as cryptids but whose existence has now been confirmed.
Hoax - cryptids once thought to be real but later conclusively proven to be hoaxes.
Former - Cryptids that with findings, have been proved to be living and real, and known as animals or plants (etc.)

Types of Cryptids
There are numerous types of Cryptids, but the links on the pictures to the right and left have the main categories, Hairy Humanoids, Giant Bats , Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs, Dragons and Dragonoids, reptilian humanoids, carnivore and varying. The Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs group contains any archosaur, or a group of reptiles containing birds, crocodilians, dinosaurs, and the winged pterosaurs. The Giant Bats group contains large bat like creatures, possibly mistaken pterosaurs. Although Dragons and Dragonoids are semi bat like creatures, the only thing making them similar to bats is their wing structure, and usually are bizarre combinations of various animals, from serpents to kangaroos (Jersey Devil) and horned animals, giving them a "traditional" dragon like appearance; resembling the dragons of mythology. The Carnivore group does not apply to all meat eaters, it just applies to Cryptids in the biological order Carnivora, which includes dogs, bears and cats.
