Newfoundland and Labrador has a rich history and storytelling tradition
concerning unknown creatures of the deep – and on land. Some of them we’re certain exist, others we’re not so sure. We just don’t
know enough to say one way or the other. ‘Here Be Dragons: Strange Creatures of Newfoundland and Labrador,” is a
discussion of our province’s oddities of the animal world – our cryptids, or
animals whose existence is alleged but not definitively proven. Bruce Hynes’s book is a very respectable examination of cryptozoology, the
study of such ‘hidden’ creatures specific to Newfoundland and Labrador.
