Summary: ... There lived on the ground birds giants - bigger than an elephant! In the forests of the Congo there is a water monster devouring hippos ... zoologists of one expedition in Cameroon attacked by pterodactyl... The liner "Sita Clara" collided with a sea snake in the ocean, and the Norwegian ship "Brunsvik" was attacked by a giant squid... What is true, and what is fiction?.. If you are fond of zoological adventures and the hidden secrets of the jungle, you will read the book “Traces of unprecedented animals” with interest. You will learn about dragons from Komodo, and about the terrible nunda (a cat growing up from a donkey!), about the fabulous phoenix bird and about how many new animals and birds have been discovered by scientists over the past half century and what still unknown creatures are hiding in the forest wilds and sea depths of our planet.
