20078645bdGainesville: University Press of Florida 2007. First Edition. Octavo softbound slick full-color illus. wrappers xii 193 pp. Near-Fine with a touch of soiling to ffep. and half-title. From lower cover: Sightings of animals unrecognized by modern science -- from the Loch Ness monster to alien big cats from Big Foot to giant penguins -- are reported on an almost daily basis. Since the 1950s the study of these creatures has been known as cryptozoology. Though many of these reports have been exposed as hoaxes some continue to resist explanation. And more than a fair share of these creatures have made their home among the condos and theme parks of Florida. Award-winning author Michael Newton introduces the curious the strange and the unexplained in Florida’s Unexpected Wildlife. The ususal suspects -- giant squids sea monsters inexplicably huge animals unicorns and the Skunk Ape Florida’s relative to Bigfoot -- are all included. The book explores the history of each creature whether it is an extinct or merely exotic species and the ensuing investigations into its existence. Newton also delves into lesser-known mysteries: a ghost kangaroo; a dead shark on the edge of a lake; “extinct†birds; pink alligators; and El Chupacabra known mostly for leaving behind a trail of dead animals drained of their blood. While “monster hunters†can use Florida’s Unexpected Wildlife as a field guide casual readers can simply enjoy the many fascinating tales and the wealth of evidence collected in this book. Grab your binoculars and enjoy the quest! University Press of Florida, (2007). First Edition. paperback books
