Michael Largo's
The Big, Bad Book of Beasts describes both some of the world's most unusual and mundane creatures, real and imagined. For example, under "D" you'll find entries for Dodo, Dog, Dolichorhynchops (aka Prehistoric "Sea Wolf"), and Dragons. I particularly enjoyed Largo's well-researched asides on the folklore of various beasts, as well as the numerous illustrations and renderings (such as the detailed Harpy skeleton on p. 187). Definitely worth checking out! HM
