Encyclopedia > Society for Cryptozoology

The International Society for Cryptozoology was founded in 1982 to serve as a scholarly center for documenting and evaluating evidence of unverified animals; that is, animal species or forms which have been reported in some manner but which have not been scientifically proven to exist. The study of such animals is known as cryptozoology.


The official emblem of the society is the okapi, chosen because it was unknown to the world until its discovery in 1901.
