Description - A Natural History of the Unnatural World: Discover What Crytozoology Can Teach Us About Over One Hundred Fabulous Creatures That Inhabit Earth, Sea and Sky by Joel Levy
This imaginative guide uses first hand accounts, historical records, works of literature and art, and the imaginative insights of the scientifically trained author to detail the evolution, habits, life cycles, reproductive behaviour and specialised abilities of dozens of fabled beings. How does a dragon breathe fire? And what is the difference between a wyvern and a dragon? How would you capture a unicorn? How might you survive an encounter with a giant squid? Could you tell the difference between a Yeti and a Bigfoot? Do aliens exist? Covering creatures from basilisks and gryphons to mermaids and werewolves, this is a compendium of the beloved creatures of myth and legend, of amazing animals and mind-boggling monsters. It illustrates the field notes of scientists and explorers, far-flung reports of sightings and miscellaneous sources, with over 600 drawings and photographs of supporting evidence. Drawing on the research of the 150 year old Cryptozoological Society of London, it will tell you everything you might like to know - but were afraid to ask!
