Cryptozoology

This should probably be merged there, there isn't much to say about this that doesn't overlap with it. FunkMonk (talk) 06:13, 26 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

This appears to be rather more scientific in nature than, say, cryptozoology, a classic pseudoscience. :bloodofox: (talk) 05:44, 17 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
This is cryptozoology...this is the sort of thing that quite a lot of scholarly crytozoologists do. They are not all bigfoot hunters. Support merge. Tullimonstrum (talk) 07:42, 17 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Note that this guy is a cryptozoologist. :bloodofox: (talk) 14:06, 17 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
On second thoughts, this term is used by mainstream zoologists, so it is not a clear cut case. FunkMonk (talk) 01:37, 31 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Extinct or potentially extinct?

edit

I see a number of species on this list who's extinction, much like their existence, can't really be proven since there's not a good record of them in the first place. Wouldn't it make more sense to have these be labeled potentially extinct? KanyeWestDropout (talk) 19:10, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
