Lake and Sea Monsters

Sporting fins, scales, and sometimes horns or fur, a host of unidentifiable water creatures have poked their dripping heads above the waves throughout recorded history. Eyewitnesses to water monster encounters are usually left puzzled, terrified, and questioning the origins and elusiveness of the creatures. Most people can describe what a typical sea monster looks like, yet no museum boasts a skeleton, and an irrefutable photograph of a sea serpent or the legendary Loch Ness Monster does not exist. Lake and Sea Monsters thoroughly explores humanity's fascination with these wet wonders and separates fact from fiction by examining ancient legends and myths, contemporary eyewitness accounts, and the latest scientific discoveries.
