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.

Reader Reviews
I have a lot of books on this subject. It's always great to come across one that contains new or previously unheard of material. A good book to add to the collection.
