Biologists identify new species by following established scientific methodology, in contrast to cryptozoologists.
Notes on verification
Well-corroborated by mainstream and academic sources (Wikipedia, HowStuffWorks, SoftSchools, WorldAtlas) consistently describing cryptozoology as lacking the scientific rigor used by biologists/zoologists. Minor fringe dissent exists but does not undermine consensus.
