In ""Florida's Unexpected Wildlife"", award-winning author Michael Newton describes exotic species recognized by state wildlife authorities; ""extinct"" species whose passing is disputed or disproved; various aquatic ""monsters"" said to occupy Florida's rivers, lakes, and offshore waters; alien big cats; and the search for the elusive, enigmatic Skunk Ape - a local relative of Bigfoot. Newton's tales are riveting, and include a six-foot tall emu encountered by a jogger in a subdivision and a ""sea serpent"" carcass discovered at the mouth of the St. Johns River. The stories are illustrated with photographs and the incomparable paintings of artist William Rebsamen, hailed as the ""John James Audubon of cryptozoology."" While ""monster hunters"" can use ""Florida's Unexpected Wildlife"" as a field guide, casual readers can simply enjoy the many fascinating tales and the wealth of evidence collected in this book. Grab your binoculars and enjoy the quest!
Michael Newton is a professional writer and author of nearly 200 books, including the Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology, The FBI Encyclopedia, and The Invisible Empire: The Ku Klux Klan in Florida, winner of the Florida Historical Society's Rembert Patrick Award.
