Cryptozoologist - A Crypto What?

Now, do we have one of the most exciting jobs in the world for you today...

Forget being a regular zoologist, studying boring conventional animals which we know all about in every conceivable way...why not become an esteemed cryptozoologist and study animals which may or may not actually exist? Or perhaps your interest lies in plants which are said to capture and devour not just animals...but anything that gets in their way? (Then why not consider a career as a cryptobotanist?) Yes, that's right, crytpozoologist's are the people who we rarely hear of and often disbelieve; those responsible for making myth reality - when a new discovery is made, which unfortunately isn't that often - and exposing the truth behind ancient stories which many have spoken of but most believe to be little more than fiction.

Sadly, there are no official qualifications or university courses which can assist you with chasing this bizarre occupation - tragically, conventional science deems the idea of looking for mythical animals as a waste of time not worthy of investing copious amounts of money in - and for now, at least, successful cryptozoologists are self-employed, making their money by way of writing books about the subject, hosting websites and giving public talks (as well as occasionally waiting on tables and working in ice cream vans and Bingo halls when the mythical animals seem even less keen to show their faces to the world).
