A podcast about Chupacabra, thunderbirds, dodos and yetis

What do yeti's, dragons, Chupacabra, thunderbirds, dodo birds and barking spiders have in common? They are all subjects of today's word- cryptozoology. Cryptozoology is the study of mythical or legendary animals. Usually with the goal of establishing or discounting their existence. Cyptozoology can also include the study of extinct animals that still have reported sightings.

I came across this word in a BoingBoing.net post. The post is about a new online exhibit of cryptozoology hosted by the International Cryptozoology Museum.

In case your are wondering yeti's, dragons, Chupacabra and thunderbirds are all mythical or at least highly suspect. The Dodo on the other hand is an extinct flightless bird but there is no known photos or specimens. You can see an artist/scientist best guess of the bird on the right.
