ELI5 mode

Cryptozoology is the study of creatures that may exist but have not been proven by science, such as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, often relying on eyewitness accounts and folklore. It walks a fine line between scientific inquiry and pseudoscience, blending biology with cultural myths to explore the unknown. In today's digital age, it's fueled by social media virality and amateur investigations using tools like drones and genetic testing.
