Description
What is behind these mythical beasts and fantastic creatures? Do these strange creatures just spring from our imagination? The zoologist Heinz-Ulrich Reyer takes a biological look at the cultural history of mythical creatures and shows that many mythical creatures surprisingly have real role models. A visually powerful search for traces between myth and reality.
