<p>Dozens of strange animals have been discovered since the beginning of the 19th century when Georges Cuvier, the "Father of Paleontology," categorically stated his doubt that any large animals were still unknown. In this book, translated and abridged by Richard Garnett, Heuvelmans examines the evidence about animals in lost or little-known worlds—still undiscovered or unrecognized by science. He traces the history of the moa, the giant sloth, and the mammoth, and tracks down the Ape Man of Sumatra, the Not So Abominable Snowman, the Incredible Australian Bunyips, and the Little Hairy Men—enlivening (if that is possible!) his search with 78 drawings and 32 halftones.</p>
