Synopsis: Discover the history and science behind these (not so) imaginary creatures—and how to search for them yourself. Cryptozoology, the study of hidden, monstrous, and legendary animals, is truly the art of discovering the unknown. Richard Freeman, Zoological Director of Centre for Fortean Zoology, has explored the corners of the five continents in search of creatures that many people believe are non-existent. In this book, he shares the exciting stories of his investigations of the Yeti, Mongolian Deathworm, Loch Ness Monster, Orang-Pendak, Ninki-Naka, and more. Cryptozoologists throughout the years have studied unknown species of reptiles, lake and sea creatures, apes, and hominins. The science and history of this field of study includes examples of creatures that were once thought to be mythological, but that have since been proven to exist. If you&’re ready to begin your search for Sasquatch and learn to hunt monsters, Adventures in Cryptozoology is your guide. In these pages you&’ll find: · Tales of mythical, extinct, and out-of-place creatures · Hints about Bigfoot and other ape-men · And tips for equipping your own cryptozoology adventure, including all the gear, field craft, and resources you&’ll need to record your findings
