:)<br><br>Hmm... I'm not sure. I'll add a circular "Similar to" property of Cryptid classification. Think that will cover it? I was originally thinking of using higher and lower classifications but that seemed a little too specific (and silly for real-world mysteries). <br>
<br>Cryptozoologist is a profession that already had one person associated with it. I just created a type for it with reciprocation for the cryptid(s) investigated. I originally included a "Cryptid hunter" but now I'm thinking of nixing it because that's more of a fictional profession. Maybe there would be reason to type a real world person as a cryptid hunter that is defined differently than a cryptozoologist? I don't think there are university degrees for the cryptozoology "Field of study".<br>

Cool :)<br>
<br>
In "Cryptid classification", how is "Bigfoot" different from "Yeti"?<br>
I ask because the Yowie <a href="http://mystery.freebase.com/view/en/yowie" target="_blank">http://mystery.freebase.com/view/en/yowie</a> is<br>
described as "similar to the Himalayan Yeti and the North American<br>
Bigfoot" ...<br>
<br>
Also, what about a type for Cryptozoologist, or is this a profession? :)<br>
<br>
