Fascinating ... cryptozoology?

Embark on an incredible safari in search of mysterious creatures whose very existence are still unrecognized by science, and which have never before been collected together in one book, yet which could well comprise some of the most dramatic zoological discoveries of the future. The Sri Lankan horned jackal and the Singhalese devil bird, the horrific bloodsucking 'death bird' of Ethiopia, an enigmatic hairless blue horse from South Africa, winged feathered serpents from Wales and other British mystery beasts, flesh-eating deer and bird-eating sheep, a triple-headed river monster from Bolivia and winged cats from India, monstrous sharks and monster jellyfishes, mystery bears of the world, rainbow dragons and marine elephants, the Beast of Bodalog, giant horned lizards from British Columbia, the real Golden Fleece, Quebec's water dragon, Lake Tahoe's Tessie, and even a living dinosaur or two from the Orient - all have been reported by reliable eyewitnesses and demand attention and investigation by science. Bringing together a handsome selection of Dr Shuker's popular cryptozoological articles originally published in FATE Magazine and now specially updated and expanded to incorporate the very latest information available, and containing a vast fund of data and illustrations (some of which have not been published in 100-200 years), From Flying Toads To Snakes With Wings is a unique, compelling survey of the world's most elusive and mystifying creatures - the beasts that hide from man.
