5.0 out of 5 stars This Classic should be in every library, May 22, 1999

This review is from: On The Track Of Unknown Animals (Hardcover)

The "Father of Cryptozoology" wrote most of this book in French in 1955, and it remains as important today, as it did then. Furthermore, the master chronicler of as-yet-to-be-discovered animals has an updated introduction for this edition. A must for your cryptozoology collection, this book should be in every library, public and private, around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars isn't Enough, this is a TEN !, May 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: On The Track Of Unknown Animals (Hardcover)

For those of you who do not know Mr. Brenard Heuvelmans (1916-2001) was one of the true pioneers in Cryptozoology (study of hidden animals) "On the Track of Unknown Animals" is certainly a must for those who find this topic interesting.
In 2003 Jerry D. Coleman released his book continuing on the work of Heuvelmans in "Strange Highways", also found here at Amazon.com. It was "Strange Highways" open, logical, fresh story's that peeked my interest in this subject.
You couldn't go wrong reading them both.

This review is from: On The Track Of Unknown Animals (Hardcover)

A magnificent text that can be difficult to get your hands on. If you see it then BUY it.

Quite simply Heuvelmans reviews 'crptids' and breaks them down, analysing sightings, discussing possible explanations and then concluding with logic on an identity.

Of most interest to non-cryptozoologists is the lengthy list of creatures to have been discovered since 1900. White rhino, Giant Forest Hog, Komodo Dragon, Okapi. A more modern list would also add the megamouth shark and the various animals of the Vu Quang region of Vietnam.
