On the Track of Unknown Animals presents evidence for the existence of numerous other large animals which have been reported by local people, but which have not yet been identified and described by science. The still 'hidden' animals presented here include the man-faced creatures of Southeast Asia, the living fossils of Oceania, the reported giant sloth and still unknown apes of South America, stories of mammoths still ranging over the Siberian taiga, as well as descriptions of many as yet unexplained strange creatures of the African jungles. A current topic of leading interest in cryptozoology is the accumulating body of evidence that Neanderthal Man - a relative of modern man but a separate species from Homo sapiens - almost surely lived simultaneously with modern man into historic times, and is probably still living in remote jungles and mountain fastnesses of the Asian Continent.

The late Bernard Heuvelmans, founder of the science of cryptozoology and explorer, researcher and writer on the subject, presents the account of his revolutionary and pioneering account of the great beasts that inhabit our oceans.

Cryptozoology is the science of hidden animals, and aims to discover and describe animals of the present. Taking account of "new discoveries", this book serves as both a popular introduction to cryptozoology and a scientific presentation of "hidden" animals.
