Dragons of Babylon, and Dinosaurs in the Bible ShukerNature

Dr. Karl Shuker, whose latest book, Karl Shuker's Alien Zoo: From the Pages of Fortean Times, was released late last year, attempts to get to the bottom of the longstanding puzzle of the sirrush, the enigmatic creature continuously presented in the same form on all Babylonian seals and stamps - was it a remnant dinosaur? - and looks at the "great dragon or serpent" slain by Daniel in the Biblical Apocrypha and Behemoth described in the Book of Job. Elsewhere, Nick Redfern takes on the history of a creature to which magical powers were ascribed in Lair of the Beasts: Hell Hounds on the Loose. Meanwhile, Richard Muirhead tries to unravel the mystery of how the ancient Chinese seem to have known of an iconic African animal in Muirhead's Mysteries: Chinese Knowledge of the Giraffe Part Two. Also, there are illustrations accompanying Dale Drinnon's Traditional Northwest-Coast Sea Monsters which examines Native American traditions of strange sea beasts from the Pacific Northwest.
