Nature is replete with wonder and terror in equal measure. Our planet
is a veritable Eden of biodiversity, with huge tracts of its surface
only now being explored for the first time…
As more and more of these last, heretofore undiscovered, havens are unearthed, charted and catalogued, before being relentlessly laid bare at the feet of Human curiosity, we have to imagine what wonders might still be unearthed.
…Equally, however, we should also worry about the terrors.
The creatures that appear on this list, though fantastical and extremely unlikely to actually exist by all accounts, are all considered by significant numbers of people to be living, breathing animals.
If these poor, fright-stricken souls are so certain that the monsters listed here actually do exist, how can you be so sure that they don’t?
…And how genuinely terrifying would it be if they were really out there?
