Naturalist, cryptozoologist, world traveler, and Fortean. Scottish born and well educated (with degrees in zoology, geology, and botany), Ivan Terrence Sanderson began his life work by collecting animals for the British Museum. Perhaps it was his interest in exotic animals that led him to an interest in other exotic phenomena and, eventually, to found the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained, in 1965. Sanderson was also a prolific writer, contributing to popular magazines such as Saturday Evening Post and Argosy, as well as to scientific journals. He also wrote several books, many of them popular works on unusual animals and unexplained phenomena, and he appeared frequently on radio and television. Among Sanderson\u2019s interests were the abominable snowman and the Minnesota iceman, the latter an instance in which this man of science and curiosity was most likely hoodwinked.<\/p>\n
