World Bestiary

This is a book of various mythical and legendary creatures, beings, entities that exist around the world. Many of them are familiar, some are whimsical and quite a few are outright dangerous.There is a foreword that cautions that these creatures aren't imaginary but tell of beings whose natures haven't been verified by scientific discovery--yet. The author(s) make references to various beings that were thought to be imaginary until they were discovered (examples being the colossal squid, Basking Shark and muntjac deer).The illustrations are detailed, colorful and vibrant. Each is accompanied by a worded description on the facing page about their natures, habitats, habits and behaviors.
