Alternative Career Path: Cryptozoologist
I have decided that if all else fails in terms of my career aspirations, I could always try and become a cryptozoologist. [Cryptozoology literally means study of hidden animals and refers to the search of animals whose existence has not been proven such as Chupacabra, Loch Ness Monster, and Phantom Cats.]
So what if it’s not a recognized branch of zoology? :P
It would be hella fun trapezing around the world, trying to find/prove the existence of critters like this:

Reconstruction of an alleged Ogopango sighting
Or this…

Artist’s conception of one of the Beasts of Gévaudan
Or this:

Artistic rendering of the Jersey Devil
Or this….
‘Ammochostos Monster’, or Ayia Napa Sea Monster [The Friendly Sea Creature from the Depths], Travels in the Eastern Mediterranean, John Smith Moffat, Published 1889
God, I should really stop procrastinating and finish my paper…
