}}Exotic Zoology is a cryptozoological book[1] by Willy Ley, a science writer and space advocate.[2] The illustrator of the book is Olga Ley.[3]

Content

Ley had written a number of books containing scientific oddities; Exotic Zoology collects the cryptozoological matter from those books.[4] Throughout the book he shows examples of organisms that were rumored to exist, or were thought to be impossible, that were shown to be real; and others that were accepted as fact, that were discovered to have never existed: "He speculates about dragons and sea serpents, wingless birds and Abominable Snowmen."[5] The book, in its description of (fictional) peoples and creatures, has been compared to John Mandeville's Travels.[6] Some of the claims have been criticized or ridiculed, for instance the statement that giant squids had left scars on whales of two feet in diameter.[7][8]
