Cryptozoology And The Investigation Of Lesser-Known Mystery Animals

Cryptozoology and the Investigation of Lesser-Known Mystery Animals

Product Description


This anthology compiles chapters by several investigators, looking at mystery animals that are rarely mentioned in cryptozoological literature, or in some cases are brand new to cryptozoology. Some turn out to be hoaxes or misidentifications, some can not yet be distinctly discerned from a background of cultural folklore, but others may very well point to unrecognized species awaiting zoological discovery.

Chapters include subjects on luminous spiders, undescribed pigs, the possibility of new coelacanths, "flying snakes," a Pacific Island mystery bird, freshwater cephalopods, bipedal reptile sightings, a Kentucky water cryptid, New Mexico folkloric animals, and classic newspaper reports from around the world.

Chapter contributors include Matthew A. Bille, Gary Mangiacopra, Dwight G. Smith, Barton M. Nunnelly, Jerry A. Padilla, Michel Raynal, Nick Sucik, and Chad Arment.

Customer ReviewsNeat subject, but not very much depth
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :10
This Book is a hodgepodge. It ranges form well detailed discussions of pig crypties and strange possible birds to random newspaper articles that are analyzed as to whether they are valid or not. The author indicated that his purpose is to bring to light some lesser known criptids. It leaves me wanting a bit more, but it was worth reading if only to add to my other books on the subject. If you want some neat factoid to think about buy the book if you are looking for deep science look else where.
Great addition to the cryptozoology library
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
I have a lot of books on this subject. Its always great to come across one that contains new or previously unheard of material. A good book to add to the collection.
