About this listen
The 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.

Today I look back from the generation of Mermaid & Megalodon mockumentaries and assume that this show was probably an early prototype of those that got axed without discussion following a bombardment of complaints about journalistic integrity. Younger me of course assumed that they had found something they shouldn’t and had been silenced. I concluded then and there that, even if such mysteries could be solved, it was futile trying because it would never get out if you did.
I didn’t pay much attention to my Arthur C Clarke’s Crystal skulls books or my Fortean Times magazines much after that. Focusing instead on real mysteries such as “how did Stegosaurus mate?” and “how did sauropods pump blood all the way up to their heads?”
These interests led me to Darren’s tetzooniverse, which discusses zoology, palaeontology, cryptozoology, and science fiction movies in equal measure. I felt I had to at least understand the latest in cryptozoology just so I wouldn’t die sitting through them, waiting for the latest news on flapling pterosaurs (a strategy that may lead me to learning much more about rodent teeth than I ever cared to).
So here I am, having finished the book and loving every minute of the meticulous scrutiny of the subject but wanting more: what about the Mongolian death worm? For example. Will there be a sequel? I hope so.
The narrator? Great but I gave you a 4 for the pronunciation of Heuvelmans (sorry, it just grated every single time).
Thanks Darren for dragging me back kicking & screaming to an old fascination
