THE BEASTS THAT HIDE FROM MAN:
SEEKING THE WORLD’S LAST UNDISCOVERED ANIMALS
BY KARL P.N. SHUKER, PH.D.
New Evidence of Mysterious Creatures |
|
|
|
|
|
Cryptozoology -- the study of hidden animals -- is gaining
attention thanks to a startling number of zoological
discoveries. Karl P.N. Shuker has collected evidence of
mysterious, somewhat mythical creatures in The Beasts that
Hide from Man. Shuker provides entertaining, solidly
researched tales about extraordinary animals such as: the
dobhar-chú, Ireland’s murderous master otter; Mongolia’s death
worm, which reportedly electrocutes its victims; he
blood-drinking “death bird” of Ethiopia; the tzuchinoko, a
bizarre Japanese snake with a bounty on its horned head; sea
serpents from around the world; hairy reptiles, furry fish,
living unicorns, and more. Shuker also provides a supplement
to Bernard Heuvelmans’s checklist of cryptozoological animals,
which contains updated information on unknown creatures. |
