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.[AuthorName]By Michael Newton[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Michael Newton, awarded the American Library Association's 2006 Outstanding Reference Sources award, has written 190 books since 1977.
