Publisher's Synopsis
The Unseen Creatures: Mythical Beasts That Could Exist by Dinesh Deckker explores the fascinating intersection of mythology and science, delving into legendary creatures from cultures around the world and examining the possibility of their real-world origins. From the terrifying Kraken and majestic dragons to the elusive Yeti and bloodthirsty Chupacabra, this book blends cryptozoology, biology, and folklore to speculate on how these myths may have been inspired by actual animals or natural phenomena.
With wit, insight, and a sense of wonder, The Unseen Creatures invites readers to question what we know about the world's mysteries. Could the Kraken have been inspired by sightings of giant squids? Did ancient peoples create dragon myths after discovering dinosaur fossils? And is it possible that creatures like the Phoenix or the Loch Ness Monster still remain hidden in the depths of our planet?
Engaging and thought-provoking, The Unseen Creatures doesn't just explain myths-it keeps the magic alive, leaving readers with a sense that, in the vast, unexplored corners of the world, there may still be mysteries waiting to be discovered.
