A LIVING DINOSAUR! In Search of Mokele-Mbembe
Roy P. Mackal
Reports of possible living dinosaurs in the Congo fired Dr. Mackal's imagination and, together with the results of his research, provoked him to lead two expeditions to look for the "Mokele-mbembe." This book describes those exciting expeditions into the Likouala region of the Congo, the results of which, the author feels, indicate that large unknown animals may await discovery. Dr. Mackal also includes much previously unpublished data about other possible living dinosaurs. Hardcover, 360 pp., illus., $29.95.

OUT OF THE SHADOWS: Mystery Animals of Australia
Tony Healy and Paul Cropper
Many of Australia's most mysterious animals are known to have existed, others may be legend. The Tasmanian Tiger, a.k.a. the Thylacine, is one of the former, and proof exists. But what of the latter, including the Bunyip? This beast was first known from Aboriginal folklore, and now is part of the country's legend; was it based on sightings of an unknown animal? Is the gorilla-like Yowie related in any way to the Bigfoot mystery? Other down-under crypto-creatures include the Queensland Marsupial Tiger and many Alien Big Cats. Healy and Cropper sort through the evidence for and against the existence of some of the world's weirdest wonders. Excellent references are included. Imported from Australia. Paper, 200 pp., photos, illus., maps, refs., index, $21.95.
