Cryptid

In cryptozoology and sometimes in cryptobotany, a cryptid (from the Greek κρύπτω, krypto, meaning "hide") is a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but has not been discovered or documented by the scientific community.[1] Cryptids often appear in folklore and mythology, leading to stories and unfounded belief about their existence.

Examples

 * Yeti in the Himalayas
 * Loch Ness Monster in Scotland
 * Bigfoot in North America
 * Chupacabra in Latin America.
