Tales of
the Cryptids: Mysterious Creatures That May or May Not Exist
by Kelly
Milner Halls, Rick Spears, and Roxyanne Young
Do
you believe Bigfoot is real? Are prehistoric creatures still
living deep in the jungles of Africa?
We are fascinated by the stories (fact or fiction) of legendary
animals. This book presents eyewitness accounts, plus the latest
information from cryptozoologists—experts who study these
mysterious beings—as well as the counterarguments by
experts who believe they do not exist. Among the many cryptids
in the book are Bigfoot (Sasquatch), the Loch Ness Monster,
Mokele-mbembe (Africa), Kongamato, Shunka Warak’in, Mapinguari
(South America), giant squids,
mermaids, coelacanths, and more. A “cryptidictionary” of
58 creatures (with an illustration for each) and an extensive “For
Further Investigation” section offering readers more
places to find information conclude the book. Maps, photos,
illustrations, index.
