I wonder if Ms. Clark would know the identity of Cryptomundo’s “Mystery Fish.”

Fabulous lady. I met her during the work being done with the female Tektite team. Those were the days of really pushing the exploration envelope. Only one thing she did that I didn’t care for and that was the stunt with the Jim suit for TV. Of course she probably had nothing to do with the outcome of that.

I remember her working with the late great Jacques Cousteau in the study of sharks and their behavior in National Geographic and on his tv series. Truly a remarkable woman and exemplary marine scientist. Thanks for the great bio.

Along with Valerie Taylor, Eugenie Clark is my favourite female diver. What a great lady. It’s wonderful that she has a big interest in cryptzoology as well.

She’s always been a favourite of mine, although I never read any of those children’s books as a kid. I can only assume that they came out after I had grown up, as I was a voracious reader on all things shark, dinosaur, or cryptozoological (Not that I knew of the term back then) when I was in grade school.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that she has CZ interests, as she always struck me as being a very open-minded scientist. Indeed, I think that’s one of the main things that makes her such a good scientist in the first place.
