I am trying to do a project in my Earth Science involving Cryptozoology,

>Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience that aims to prove the existence of entities from the folklore record
>topic of the project must be entirely scientific
Maybe make it about mental issues of the people making the shit up.

Professor project could pertain to Cryptids i'd just need a solid topic to work with. So far the psychological angle seems good.

Pick a new topic?

Or illustrate how zoology, and science, can respond to "cryptids" like the gorilla or okapi, which turned out to exist, and sasquatches and Nessie, which turned out to not exist. Thus illustrating the value of science.

fuck your mommy.

The objective of the project is to try to solve or explain things in science that currently can't be explained. The majority of obvious topics are already taken by other students.

>>8771961
Cryptozoology is really more of an anthropology or psychiatry thing than an Earth science thing.

>>8771992
It can be anything scientific the professor just wants anything within science.

Obligatory source material.

Does cryptozoology fit, then? What there do you think cannot be explained?

The possibility of life in lake Vostok(old ass mystery bacteria are cryptids, right?), or some other animal like coelacanth. Or rare sightings of animals recently classified to be extinct.

Plenty of cryptids are misidentified animals, or like your pics animals that were described but people found it hard to believe in them, cause it sounds weird that there's a gigantic turtle in a lake that no one ever sees.

Bigfoot as the missing link.
