The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology

November 15, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Created by Vladimir Stankovic this book charts a range of mysterious animals; these creatures are part of myth and legend but there is no strong evidence for their existence.

The word “cryptozoology” means the “study of hidden animals”, combining zoology with the Greek root “kryptos” or “hidden”. The book was created as part of a master thesis project at the University of Lapland. Sadly, it’s not something you can pick up at Amazon.

I think there’s some traditional European monsters in here along with new world horrors too.

Loch Ness Monster

Mothman

Sea Serpents

Storsjoodjuret

Thunderbird

Yeti

Buru

Chupacabra 2

Dover Demon

Gigantic Octopus

Gloucester Sea Serpent

Jersey Devil

Kongamato
