Cryptozoologists have often led expeditions to find evidence of cryptids, to few results. Bigfoot researcher René Dahinden led unsuccessful expedition into caves to find evidence of sasquatch. [13] Lensgrave Adam Christoffer Knuth led an expedition into Lake Tele in the Congo to find the mokele-mbembe in 2018. While they didn't find any evidence for the cryptid, they did find a new species of green algae.

[44] Historically, notable cryptozoologists have often identified instances featuring "irrefutable evidence" (such as Sanderson and Krantz), only for the evidence to be revealed as the product of a hoax. This may occur during a closer examination by experts or upon confession of the hoaxer. [12] ExpeditionsBurney, David A.; Ramilisonina (December 1998).

The Centre for Fortean Zoology- an English organization centered around hunting for unknown animals Reports of Bigfoot-like sightings in the United Kingdom naturally illicit skepticism. It’s very difficult to conceive how a massive bipedal cryptid would evade detection in a landmass as small as the island of Great Britain. We do not have the sprawling virgin forests that can be found in the United States, nor the expansive plains and deserts, mountain ranges, marshlands and swamps. Yet despite the obvious implausibility of a British Bigfoot, there have actually been innumerable sightings of such creatures, coming from all corners of the country. A giant lake monster resembling a giant pike with horse's mane and legs, allegedly living in the waterways of the Lakes District. The term cryptozoology dates from 1959 or before—Heuvelmans attributes the coinage of the term cryptozoology 'the study of hidden animals' (from Ancient Greek: κρυπτός, kryptós "hidden, secret"; Ancient Greek ζῷον, zōion " animal", and λόγος, logos, i.e. "knowledge, study") to Sanderson. [2] [5] Following cryptozoology, the term cryptid was coined in 1983 by cryptozoologist J. E. Wall in the summer issue of the International Society of Cryptozoology newsletter. [6] According to Wall "[It has been] suggested that new terms be coined to replace sensational and often misleading terms like 'monster'. My suggestion is 'cryptid', meaning a living thing having the quality of being hidden or unknown ... describing those creatures which are (or may be) subjects of cryptozoological investigation." [7]
