Cryptozoology, “the study of and searching for legendary animals — called cryptids — to find out if there’s any possibility that these mysterious animals people say they’ve seen really exist.” From Bigfoot to the Loch Ness Monster to prehistoric cryptids you may never have heard of, this book tells readers what is true, what is not, and what scientists just can’t be sure about.
