Olga Arnold's book is dedicated to debunking popular myths about animals and exploring the facts that served as the basis for their emergence. However, not all myths are so far from the truth, and reality is often much more interesting than legends. Everyone, of course, has heard about the famous Nessie, but are there any facts that confirm her existence? What did the people who went in search of the yeti actually find, and what real stories could serve as the basis for the legends about werewolves? What was the fate of the real, and not the fairy-tale, Mowgli children? Are man-eating animals really that scary and is it possible to ride on the back of a white shark without fear? Can animals predict earthquakes and tsunamis, and how did snakes once save an entire city? Read about all this and much more in Olga Arnold’s new book. The author is distinguished by his easy style, masterful command of many interesting facts, and most importantly, the ability to speak simply and with humor about complex things.
