Description: 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.
