Mystery on Monster Island -- La búsqueda del Monstruo de Loch Ness ha cautivado al mundo por décadas, pero ahora una increíble conclusión sobre Nessie podría poner en duda este antiguo mito. Podría estar el Monstruo de Loch Ness muerto, y sus restos yacen en el fondo del lago? Mystery on Monster Island -- Uno de los predadores mas mortales del océano, el tiburón sarda, puede tolerar el agua dulce. Puede nadar cientos de millas contracorriente, y una rara foto de los anos 1930 sugiere que incluso podría llegar a Illinois. Mystery on Monster Island -- Acaso los grandes osos se están convirtiendo en mas asertivos y agresivos? En los tiempos de la prehistoria, los osos gigantescos pesaban hasta una tonelada y acosaban al hombre.
