Cryptozoology is the study of “hidden” animals whose existence has been rumored… but not exactly proven. Notable examples include Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster and The Jersey Devil.
But don’t write them off jokes just yet. Just like them, these 10 real-life animals started out as laughable legends that would earn you raised eyebrows (or a padded cell) for stories of spying them out in the wild. This’ll make you think twice before rolling your eyes the next time your crazy uncle starts talking about finding the elusive “El Chupacabra.”

Can you imagine going to the zoo and saying hey to Bigfoot before heading to the Komodo dragon exhibit? If this proves anything, it’s that proof isn’t everything!
