Book Description
"For centuries, Indian myths and Hispanic legends have told of a mysterious large wildcat, the Onza, said to inhabit the mountains and jungles of Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental. Not a jaguar, not a mountain lion, the Onza is considered more elusive and ferocious than either. In the 20th century a variety of American hunters, writers, cryptozoologists and roustabouts have sought to unravel the mystery of the Onza. These men, including J. Frank Dobie, the Lee brothers, Robert Marshall, and Russell Annabel, have ranged the Mexican wilds to give the truth or lie to the Onza legend. This book slays the myths, celebrates the lore, and tells their stories of adventure."--Back cover

Cryptozoology A To Z
Author: Loren Coleman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439147795
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The ultimate quest for the world's most mysterious creatures The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman -- these are the names of the elusive beasts that have caught the eye and captured the imaginations of people around the world for centuries. Recently, tales of these "monsters" have been corroborated by an increase in sightings, and out of these legends a new science has been born: cryptozoology -- the study of hidden animals. Cryptozoology A to Z, the first encyclopedia of its kind, contains nearly two hundred entries, including cryptids (the name given to these unusual beasts), new animal finds, and the explorers and scientists who search for them. Loren Coleman, one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, teams up with Jerome Clark, editor and author of several encyclopedias, to provide these definitive descriptions and many never-before-published drawings and photographs from eyewitnesses' detailed accounts. Full of insights into the methods of these scientists, exciting tales of discovery, and the history and evolution of this field, Cryptozoology A to Z is the most complete reference ever of the newest zoological science.
