If you can believe it, many of the animals that we know of today were once regarded as nothing, but myths until they were formally discovered by science. Today we start a new series called the Cryptid Case Files where we will dive into the legends and lore of such animals to shine light on real cryptoozology in action. We begin our journey with the discovery of the Mountain gorilla. Welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole!
