Water Monsters South of the Border

Cannibalistic snakes exceeding one hundred feet in length that cause the earth to tremble. Large cats with twelve-inch fangs thought to be extinct. Sauropod dinosaurs that flip canoes. A half-octopus, half-shark creature that pulls boats into the abyss. Plesiosaurs swimming in glacial lakes. These are but a few of the monsters lurking in the waters of South & Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. What are we to make of the mermaid legends of South America? Could there be dinosaurs roaming the remote reaches of the Amazon? What are water tigers? Is the Giant Anaconda a mythical creature, or does it actually exist? Though many of these creatures are written off as mythical, might they be based something that lived in the remote past? Is it possible that many of the ancient monsters never went extinct? Michaels explores these questions and many others in his work. However, some of the answers may be disturbing...FIND OUT WHY David Hatcher Childress calls Water Monsters South of the Border a unique book, and renowned cryptozoologist Loren Coleman placed it on his list of TOP TEN CRYPTOZOOLOGY BOOKS OF 2016."A truly fascinating read...an intriguing and well-written study of lake monsters and shouldn't be missed!" --Liz Konkel, Readers' Favorite
