Cryptids, or simply unconfirmed animals, have dazzled human kind since the first story was told. Some of the strange or weird animals today were once actually classified as criptids such as the Bondegezou, now called the tree Kangaroo.

Some of the most fascinating forms of evidence of these creatures existing is through photography and film. the most famous of these are the Bigfoot pictures and film. Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, Skookum, Yeren, Yeti, and Mapinguari, is the most famous of the cryptids next to the Loch Ness Monster. The creature originated in stories; travelers would tell tales of their close encounters with a large wild ape-man who was fiercer in some stories than others. In the 50s came the photography and films of creatures that were supposedly Bigfoot, showing what looked like the outline of a man but was covered in fur. Since many of these photos are blurry and look much like a human, they are said by many to simply be a hoax. But in the world of Cryptology it is still unconfirmed whether Bigfoot is a hoax or not.

Other famous Cryptid pictures were of Nessie, or the Loch Ness Monster. These were taken at the Loch Ness in Scottish Highlands, said to be a prehistoric water animal similar to or that actually is a Plesiosaur. The pictures of these vary, but are usually of a hump or number of humps rising from the water that are often accompanied by what looks like a neck and head of a Plesiosaur. Many of these photos are also disputed, as they look like logs or other animals. Some photos were actually discovered to be a hoax, the famous "Surgeon's Photograph" from 1934 which shows a neck and head was found to just be a toy submarine with a wooden extension intended to look like the Loch Ness Monster.
