Description

From the fossil record to modern wildlife, this book explores how scientists and storytellers “hunt” monsters—separating myth from evidence while tracing the real creatures, patterns, and processes that can inspire fear and wonder. Through accessible, high-level investigations, it examines famous cryptids and legendary beasts alongside the anatomy, ecology, and evolutionary clues that help explain what people might have seen, misidentified, or misunderstood. Blending rigorous thinking with an engaging narrative voice, it highlights themes of scientific method, skepticism, and the enduring power of folklore. Ideal for readers who love natural history and the thrill of solving mysteries, it shows how curiosity can turn monsters into questions worth answering.
