Many people might be surprised to find that new species of animal are discovered every year. Most of them are relatively small and insignificant, but large animals still await discovery across the globe. The CFZ maintain files on dozens of unknown animals such as the tylacine or Tasmanian wolf (see opposite), a large carnivorous marsupial which officially became extinct in 1936, but is widely thought of as the unknown animal most likely to be discovered. Other well-known cryptids include the yeti of central Asia - a bipedal ape which may reach a height of seven feet, the `monsters` of Loch Ness and other lakes in North America and northern Europe, and Megalania prisca - a giant monitor lizard from Australia which is supposed to have become extinct thousands of years ago, but which many people believe still lurks in the outback.
The latest discoveries, theories, and speculations, are all in the pages of this magazine...
