There are strange monsters in Indiana. Some are grudgingly called "hypothetical" species by the state's Department of Natural Resources; others are merely exotic, overlooked, or "hidden" animals, that people think are extinct or just not possible in the Hoosier State. Read about: - Exotic reptiles and fish overlooked on official rosters, - "Extinct" cougars that refuse to disappear, - Alien big cats (including lions and black panthers), - Lake and swamp monsters, - Freshwater cephalopods, - Phantom kangaroos and "Devil Monkeys," - Bigfoot, mer people, lizard men, giant birds, and - A 40-foot dragon. Explore the Indiana monsters that date from the early nineteenth century to modern times. Indiana's creatures will fascinate you as much as the intrepid hunters who stalk them.
