“For me, it is no longer possible to believe in an organic Bigfoot, Almas, or Yeti. Instead I welcome these creatures to the safe ark of the Phantom Menagerie, where all things are real, provided you define the sort of reality you want.

“In a single stroke, the Linnaean classification system wiped monsters off the face of the map. There might still be unknown beasts and fearsome creatures out there, but now they each would have a family, a genus, a species; no matter how strange an animal might be, it was now under the rubric of scientific study and discussion. Thus, the medieval world's monsters and wonders were, one by one, either incorporated into this taxonomy or excluded as myth. The kraken became the genus Architeuthis, the giant squid; the sea serpent became Regalecus glesne, the giant oarfish.”
