Most people have heard of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Far fewer have heard of animals like the buru, a lungfish-like monster reported from India; Washington’s eagle, supposedly bigger than the bald eagle; the yemish of South America, also called the water tiger; or the Mongolian death worm.
The world is full of mystery animals that might just be real. Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie examines nearly 100 of the world’s most plausible cryptids, discussing sightings, background and context, and possible identities of each animal. Some of the mysteries are solved, some are not, but they’re all amazing!
Join the host of Strange Animals Podcast for a science-based animal adventure all around the world!
