Many species are still undiscovered
According cryptozoologists looking
world for hidden animals
(cryptids), live on this earth
still many unknown species
their discovery . wait Previously known in
our "blue planet" about 1.5 million
species. Some scientists
suspect that more than 15 million
Animal species still undiscovered or
are blank.
The relatively new research field of cryptozoology
was from the Belgian zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans
(1916-2001) named in 1950 and founded
. He collected thousands of reports
, legends, myths, stories and clues hidden
animals and had a lasting influence through his work doing the cryptozoology
.
as branches of cryptozoology apply
Dracontologie that deals with the Wasserkryptiden
that Hominologie,
dealing with ape-men, and the Mythological
cryptozoology,
discuss the emergence
of mythical creatures studied. The cryptozoology
moves partially between serious
science and fantasy.
cryptozoologists do not believe
that our planet has already given up all zoological
secrets
though satellites monitor regularly the whole
earth's surface. According to their view
what under the canopy of tropical rain forests or in
do the depths of the oceans remains hidden from
latest spy technology.
the cryptozoologists that there are
on earth to discover yet a surprising number of previously unknown species
.
on all five continents - so believe
cryptozoologists - live example
great "monkey people". The most famous of them are
"Yeti" in the Himalayas,
"Bigfoot" in North America, "Orang
Pendek" ("short man") in Sumatra
and "Alma" in Mongolia. As the ape-man
includes "Chuchunaa in
Eastern Siberia," Nguoi Rung "in Vietnam,
de Loys Monkey" in South America, the
"Skunk Ape" in Florida, "Yeren in
China and Yowie" in Australia.
As apes are - according to "Wikipedia"
- "Ape-like", that is not
with all the features of the species Homo sapiens
representative of the "human rights
(hominids), equipped known. They belong to the most famous
Landkryptiden.
Ernst Probst, the author of this book
about "ape man" is not crypto-zoologist,
he still believes in the existence
of "ape men". Nevertheless, he found
this topic interesting enough to write about
.
