Today's large snake hunters are armatures who often do these expeditions on their vacations. This is what Loren Coleman, founder of The International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland Maine calls "Cryptotourism." You can find on the Internet many organizations that for a fee can take you exotic locations to look for mythical beast. One group is the Bigfoot Field Research Organization known as BFRO. They offer weekend expeditions which are guided in most States in the Union. It is understood that most people are believers but are looking for a good reason to experience the great outdoors. Camping out along the Amazon River where giant Anacondas and ground Sloths can get you may not be for everyone. But these adventures of the past can be experienced by the everyman if is willing to explore.
