Overview

Most people have heard of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Far fewer have heard of animals like the buru, a lungfish-like monster reported from India; Washington's eagle, supposedly bigger than the bald eagle; the yemish of South America, also called the water tiger; or the Mongolian death worm. The world is full of mystery animals that might just be real. Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie examines nearly 100 of the world's most plausible cryptids, discussing sightings, background and context, and possible identities of each animal. Some of the mysteries are solved, some are not, but they're all amazing! Join the host of Strange Animals Podcast for a science-based animal adventure all around the world!

Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie is a thorough, well-researched, yet entertaining exploration of the strange animals that cryptozoology frequently forgets. In a field dominated by the most famous cryptids, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the cryptid world is almost as biodiverse as the world of accepted, non-controversial biology. Furthermore, Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie reminds us that frequently, mystery animals in the former category are eventually discovered by traditional science. This delightful book is a valuable contribution to the field of cryptozoology. It will be helpful to recent initiates as well as to seasoned researchers. Reading it inspired in me the same sense of wonder that I experienced when I read the works of Bernard Heuvelmans and William Corliss for the first time, and as these works, Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie is the kind of book that one looks forward to rereading. I predict that it will find its rightful place in the personal libraries of cryptozoology enthusiasts at all levels. One R. Pagan, Ph.D. Author of Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins: A Trip Through the World of Animal Intoxication.
