Good point. I added an "Area of occurrence" property and moved all the relevant locations to it. I also renamed "Location of occurrence" in the "Cryptid observation" CVT to "Observation location".<br>

This is very cool. One suggestion would be a property for Location<br>
Found. I realize this is sort of tied to Location of Occurrence, but<br>
it would be nice to be able to list where the cryptid is purported to<br>
exist without the date and observer properties called for by the<br>
Cryptid observation CVT. For example, I just added the Mongolian Death<br>
Worm as a cryptid and would like to assert that it is found in the<br>
Gobi Desert without knowing any specific reported sightings.<br>
