In Search of Real Monsters

Adventures in Cryptozoology, Book 2

De: Richard Freeman

Narrado por: Derek Perkins

From animals long believed extinct, to monsters that we thought never existed—this book acts as both a guide to, and an unbelievably true account of, legendary cryptids.

Cryptozoologist Richard Freeman has spent years researching and tracking down mythical monsters. In this book, he recounts riveting monster hunt stories, globetrotting adventures from the dense forests of Sumatra on the trail of a mystery ape known as the orang-pendek, to Tasmania in search of the thylacine or Tasmanian wolf. Every corner of Earth has its own monster—even the traceless Gobi Desert as he searches for the Mongolian death worm, a creature so feared by the nomads that it can send a whole community into a panic.

The author provides you with excellent advice on how to carry out your own cryptozoological expeditions from scratch. This includes advice on what equipment to take, inoculations, how to choose which mythical animals to hunt, planning ahead and the importance of getting good local guides to name a few.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A deep dive into whether extinct animals are truly extinct
• A journey beyond a textbook definition of the world’s largest animals
• A ton of advice, including information on how to join the Centre for Fortean Zoology

Join a fascinating adventure on the hunt for mythical animals!

Fascinating tour through the world

I really enjoyed the section on the thylocine. The fact that Tasmanian wolves likely are not extinct is awesome news and the evidence presented is compelling to me

Fantastic

An absolute gem of a book for anyone who even remotely enjoys true, crytpozoology. The book is down to earth and realistic about the scientific search for proof of new animals and the revival of those previously thought to be extinct.

Interesting from start to finish

I'm a big fan of Richard Freeman, and also purchased his other audio book. It's great for those long drives. I also enjoyed the narrator's voice. if you are a fan of cryptozoology, you should enjoy this.

Great listen for anyone interested in strange and possibly “monsters”!

Great book with very well written and preformed. Anyone interested in animals that may or may not exist should check this book out!

Great Book on Cryptozoology Hunts!

Great book on cryptozoology, or more accurately, a realistic look at things that do exist and were either written off as 'extinct' too early(Tasmanian Tiger) or are just on the cusp of being explained (Orangpende). Presented in a factual manner with some lovely travel tales in-between, the only thing that saddened me about this book was when it ended. I wish there were more!

Gross comments about women

The author consistently makes comments about women’s attractiveness even though it has no effect on the book. Gross.
