I would like some recommendations for good books for folks just getting started in their study of cryptozoology. When I was a teenager I lived up in northern California and Bigfoot sightings were somewhat common. My dad and I used to collect newspaper articles about the various encounters. But as I entered adulthood I laid my interest in cryptozoology aside. Now at 60 years old I have got my interest back--mostly from seeing the threads in this section!
thanks,
Brian

This really isn't meant to be dismissive.. but there inust isn't any chance any of the popular cryptos are real..
One animal isn't enough..
You need a breeding population and that requires thousands... maybe tens of thousands..
Sure we will still discover mega fauna , but it 99% chance won't be Bigfoot or Nessie.
I found history (mainly military) and space documentaries super fascinating...

The kraken is still a myth. A giant squid isn't anywhere near big enough to take down a ship.
With Bigfoot how many people have looked?? How many tens of thousands and not one speck of verifiable evidence..
Every other week some one is getting this or that DNA tested because "we finally have proof", but you never hear the follow up..because it turns out to be nonesense.

Good Evening,
I appreciate folks taking the time to give me some help on this. I look forward to starting my book collection and thanks too for the leads on the podcasts and websites. It all sounds like great places to start. I look forward to talking with folks here about new developments in the area. I lived in Taiwan for many years and if I remember right the island of Taiwan has a couple of legends concerning rarely seen animals. I will talk with my Taiwanese wife about it.
So I will head over to Amazon with the list!
thanks much,
Brian
