Synopsis:
Some people think monsters are the stuff of nightmares - the stuff of scary movies and Halloween. But monsters can also be found right in your backyard. Animals like aye-ayes, goblin sharks, and vampire bats may look scary, but they pose no threat to humans. Others, such as the prairie dog, seem innocent - cute, even - yet their behavior could give you goose bumps.
