Cryptozoology and the Investigation of Lesser-Known Mystery Animals compiles chapters by several investigators, looking at cryptids that are rarely mentioned in the cryptozoological literature, or in some cases are brand new to cryptozoology. Some mystery animals turn out to be hoaxes or misidentifications, some can not yet be distinctly discerned from a background of cultural folklore, but others may very well point to unrecognized species awaiting zoological discovery.
