Cryptozoologist

What a fun word although I've always thought there should be 4 letter o's in Zoo ologist.
Courtesy of Arcamax Trivia I was introduced to this magic word, I had no idea such a profession/hobby existed.
A Cryptzoologist searches for Cryptids, legendary, mythical or extinct creatures. Can you imagine the excitement of finally putting the Loch Ness Monster myth to rest or finding a (friendly) Yeti? There's a great site at www.newanimals.org called The Crypto Zoo and if you have more time on your hands than I, you can read up on strange and wonderful things.
In Wikipedia there is an A-Z of legendary creatures. One that caught my eye is a Japanese creature called Uma-no-ashi - Horse's leg which dangles from a tree and kicks passers by. Hmm, do I smell a little Saki there?
But tell me friends, where is the TV series? Tired of the Same-o on TV, what fun to watch a team of intrepid adventurers fighting Gargoyles or falling in love with Mermaids. I feel certain I'd watch ( as long as Horatio isn't the hero) That dishy Steve McQueen lookalike from Life would be good in the lead role.
Whatever. If it makes it to the small screen I do expect a regular royalty cheque but in the meantime I'll be watching out for the missing links, whatever they may be.
