This review is from: Searching for Hidden Animals: An Inquiry into Zoological Mysteries (Hardcover)

Simply a must-have book for anyone with any interest in cryptozoology or mysterious animals. Dr. Mackal gives fascinating accounts of his many expeditions in search of mysterious zoological mysteries. Everything from lake monsters to surviving flying dinosaurs is covered. The chapters covering the Buru (an aquatic lizard) and the Mokele Mbembe (a possible surviving pachiosaur) are especially fascinating. Written in a professional, factually-based tone, it is incredibly interesting reading. This work rivals Bernard Heuvelman's classic 'On the Track of Unknown Animals' in it's importance to the study of cryptozoology. Although difficult to find now that it is out of print, it is certainly worth the effort.
