A cryptid are animals of presume existence by cryptozoologist, their basis to believe they exist are anecdotal or other evidence considered insufficient by the scientist. While biologist identify new species following scientific methodology, cryptozoologist focus on folklore record and rumours. The creatures believed that are cryptid are usually mythological but not necessarily supernatural, some examples are: Big foot, the Yeti, the Moth-Man and the Loch Ness Monster.

They can be considered a modern day animal legend because of the way they are known. Usually they become famous from a story that happened to the friend of a friend or a person that was passing by and never returned. They have the same cultural formation as the mythologic monsters from past ages like the Kraken or the Minotaur, they become from stories told from mouth to mouth and the first teller is unknown. Usually their stories are good from preventing little childrens to do dangerous things like the old legends were told to taught something about the hard life during those days. Another fact to believe that they are moden day animal legends is the way they are disseminated into the internet, previously I said that the stories were told from mouth to mouth but nowadays they are share by users of websites and become viral almost instantly, this gives these stories a reach never seen before but the only thing it does is to multiplicate the range that the old legends held.

The term cryptid is also used to described extinct creatures said still inhabit in specific areas as a way of not taking responsibilities of the human behaviour toward the extinction of other animal species.

I hope the answer help you and if you have any doubt don´t hesitate to ask me. Regards

Cryptids are animals whose existence are believed to be real by many people but scientific evidence is lacking. For some, circumstantial evidence may exist but none are full supported by science. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which 15th-century invention led to the decrease in the practice of illumination by hand?

Eduardwww [97]

The correct answer is the printing press. Illuminations had to be drawn manually and people were real artists when it came to that. With the printing press, it was made much easier to do this because the patterns could be repeated and reprinted indefinitely, so they started losing value and only those that were hand-made became important in history.

what foreign policy goal does the united states advance by participating in the north Atlantic treaty

Umnica [9.8K]

NATO has two main benefits for the United States and other nations involved:

The first is from a political standpoint. All members of NATO share democratic values, and they are all encouraged to prevent conflict and cooperate with one another on security and defense problems.

The second is from a military standpoint. NATO works towards maintaining peaceful relationships with outside nations. However, if a conflict arises, NATO has an agreement called "crisis-management." This means that the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Agreement work together to provide whatever military and security measures are needed to protect the NATO territory.

This is beneficial to the United States because being a member of NATO guarantees some political and military assistance if conflict ever comes to American ground.
