SynopsisThe Loch Ness Monster, bigfoot and the yeti have long held a fascination for people the world over. Debates about their actual existence or what they might really be have continued for decades, if not centuries. Known also as cryptids, they have spawned a body of research known as cryptozoology. This entertaining book looks at the evidence of these mysterious monsters and others and explores what they might really be (if they exist at all), why they have been represented as they have and the development of cryptozoology and how it has collected data to discover more about these unknown creatures., The Loch Ness Monster. The Yeti. Bigfoot. These are just some of the iconic mythical creatures studied by the discipline of 'cryptozoology'. Could these monsters really exist? How did cryptozoology come about? And, finally, who are the people who spend their lives 'hunting monsters'? Palaeozoological researcher Professor Darren Naish decided that it was time to answer some of these big questions that continue to baffle us to this day. Discover the fascinating and often bizarre stories of real life monsters and the scientists who strove to separate the fact from fiction. Book jacket.
