What if evolution took a different turn and we ended up with creatures of a different sort? What if we could mix and match DNA from any species? One theory is that all life on Earth developed from one universal ancestor and that a natural selection process led to our current biodiversity: a kind of matrix from which all living things evolved. Here our mad scientists push the limits of their photo-montage skills and create some of the most unusual creatures that spring from the depths and shallows of their imaginations. They can be beautiful, often disturbing and sometimes hilarious, but they are always fascinating. Fantastic Beasts 2018 features a collection of 12 unusual animals, insects and reptiles that are blended together to form new species. Informative captions help you imagine the impossible.
