There are strange monsters in Indiana. Some are grudgingly called "hypothetical" species by the state's Department of Natural Resources; others are merely exotic, overlooked, or "hidden" animals, that people think are extinct or just not possible in the Hoosier State. In this book, you will read about: · Exotic reptiles and fish overlooked on official rosters · "Extinct" cougars that refuse to disappear · Alien big cats (including lions and black panthers) · Lake and swamp monsters · Freshwater cephalopods · Phantom kangaroos and "Devil Monkeys" · Bigfoot, mer people, lizard men, giant birds · A 40—foot dragon. Explore the Indiana monsters that date from the early nineteenth century to modern times. Indiana's creatures will fascinate you as much as the intrepid hunters who stalk them.
