SKU | 1754883757290 |
The mystery surrounding such monsters as Nessie and Bigfoot holds endless fascination for kids (and many adults). Do such creatures really exist? If so, how? What do they eat? How old are they? How big are they? Though everyone is familiar with these legends, few people know that there is a science devoted to them. Perhaps inspired by the Discovery and National Geographic Channels, more and more scientists are taking part in searches for these and other elusive animals, and studying the environment in order to determine whether large animals could actually survive where sightings have been reported. Every year more than a few new species of animal are discovered.
Jim Arnosky, beloved by children and teachers for his friendly nature hikes in book form, presents real monsters of the past and gigantic prehistoric animals that have survived to the present; tells stories of mythical monsters, such as dragons and the kraken; examines the possible existence of Nessie, Big Foot and other modern legends; and invites readers to join him in wondering what else could be out there. With its combination of folklore, mythology, monster stories, field research, and natural history, this beautifully illustrated book is entertainment and education in equal measure.
