Description
This study is both a popular introduction to cryptozoology and a scientific presentation of "hidden" animals. It presents evidence for the existence of numerous other large animals which have been reported by local people, but have not yet been described by science. The book also addresses a current topic of great interest -the accumulating evidence that Neanderthal man may have lived simultaneously with modern man into historic times, and is probably still living in remote jungles and mountains of the Asian continent.
This is the most scientifically rigorous and complete books on recently discovered large animals -- such as the Pleistocene Peccary (the largest of all hogs, believed to have been extinct since the last age but recently discovered in Paraguay) -- to various possibly soon-to-be discovered megafauna such as Yetis, Sasquatchs -- and maybe even Mammoths. If sensationalized and cheap TV shows about "mysterious animals" nauseate you, but nonetheless leave you with a nagging feeling that there might be a large critter lurking beneath the copious serving of tripe, this is definitely the book for you. Or if (like me) you've done eight years of fieldwork in zoology, it will make you want to accompany Dr. Heuvelmans on his next expedition. Highly Recommended.
