I was curious about the reality of many claims over the centuries of sea serpents or large ocean monsters, so I thought I’d research this subject myself. There were many amazing stories, such as the giant whale which attacked a ship in the 19th century. This event was the reason Herman Melville wrote the book Moby Dick. There are many records of giant fish and serpents in the water. The question is which of these have some basis in reality. In this book, I tried to do some comprehensive research on the giants of the deep. I hope you find this interesting.

In this book, we examine the history of dragons, stories about them, and evidence for their possible existence.

The Hebrew Bible offers countless examples of how God intends for there to be a compassionate and caring attitude toward animals and the planet. This attitude has been a constant theme throughout Judaism to the present day. Dr. Richard H. Schwartz, Ph.D. speaks on Judaism and vegetarianism with an introduction by Rabbi David Rosen.

From the snake in the Garden of Eden to the lost sheep in Luke's parable, stories about fish and birds, rams and goats abound. We read about them, but they have no voice of their own. Here we allow the raven and the dove on Noah's ark, the big fish that swallowed Jonah, and the donkey on which Balaam rode, to be the narrators of their own stories, to inform us and help us to re-imagine our stories. We learn something about the intrinsic value of all living beings, and something about ourselves.

A spirit animal is a guide that takes animal form. People often see their spirit animal in visions or dreams, but they can also appear in physical form as a natural animal. Some people even have mythical spirit animals, such as dragons, which of course cannot appear in their physical form. A spirit animal's power comes from its wild nature, so domesticated animals are rarely spirit guides.

There are thousands of reports of Bigfoot in North America and other sites around the world. These sightings include videos, pictures, and the stories of witnesses. I’ve researched and written about many types of cryptids and the reports of bigfoot sightings are orders of magnitudes greater than any other cryptid sightings. These witnesses definitely saw something which is not human but bipedal.

Thunderbirds are giant birds which have been known by the North American Indians from time immemorial. These birds are part of the culture, totem poles, and Indian history and mythology. The giant birds have also been seen in modern times. Some observers say they are just giant, regular birds, while others say they have the appearance of pterodactyls. In this book, we review American Indian beliefs and legends about these giant birds. We also review the many reports not only in North America, but all over the world of giant birds and/or flying reptiles.
