What are people seeing when they look in the lakes, forests and skies? Is there any record of such things in our collective history? What does the fossil record say about such creatures? New Jersey Native Dr. Dana Ehret has some thoughts!
“To Be Clear! My interest in Cryptozoology is of an academic, historic and pop culture nature. I grew up in central New Jersey hearing stories of the Jersey Devil and borrowing Roy Mackal’s ‘The Monsters of Loch Ness’ book from my elementary school library. My background in ecology, zoology and paleontology and my penchant for the strange and unusual has aided me in teaching people about the myths behind some cryptids and the science behind why most could not exist. “
