Fun without being silly, or losing sight of factuality and scientific rigor (though a few of details listed here are definitely worth a double-check to see where there's room for doubt). I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Cryptozoology. And heck, put it in the camper the next time you head out to the woods. It couldn't hurt...

While I don't buy all the stories, it's interesting to read about some of the creatures that could exist: lesser known apes, for example. A very interesting fact is that for years they thought sightings of the giraffe were made up! I personally believe a type of "Bigfoot" could exist, though perhaps not in North America like they claim, but rather the wilds of Africa. Well, they supposedly have 6-foot tall violets in the Amazon! Plus I'd love to see one. :D

This was an intereting collection of stories and sitings of what people call Bigfoot. I will always be skeptical about Bigfoots existence but will always read about it because the thought one them existing is pretty exciting.
