To wdsasquatch: The dark creature under the water on the right side of the painting is the Queensland Sea Serpent hoax perpetrated by Robert Le Serrec, a known fraud. It was supposedly photographed near Hook Island in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Here's a great treatment that explains Le Serrec's nonsense straight away.

Dear YowieLover

Think beyond what they taught you in school with one projection of the globe. Australia is certainly there, in the upper right quarter of Rockman’s map, between the saola and the seagull.

Look again, for depending on how you view it, Australia is certainly not “downunder” on this map, but it is there, nevertheless.

I would be interested in buying a poster of Alexis Rockman’s Map of Cryptozoology to support the International Cryptozoology Museum!!

When and how can I do this!

While we are on the topic where can I buy some of his other art?

What is the dark creature under the water on the right hand side of the map? Above Trunko? I remember the picture in a magazine I had when I was younger. I really liked the story of it as a kid, and it boosted my interest in cryptids.

I’m not criticizing it’s use, I love that picture. I just thought it interesting to note, at first I thought it was supposed to be a North American catfish. I have a copy of the book and recall the chapter on catfish but mine is the copy with the mystery fish postcard on the cover.
