He spent his childhood in Plzen in west Bohemia.〔 He developed a fascination with legendary creatures from a young age, especially the Mongolian death worm (''Allghoi khorkhoi''), and extensively read adventure books by Jaroslav Foglar, and the children's magazines ''Vpred'' and ''Junak'', illegal reading material under communist Czechoslovakia at the time.〔 Other authors that influenced him were the Russian paleontologist and science fiction author Ivan Yefremov, and also Charles Fort, the American investigator of the "unexplained" who was nicknamed the “patron saint of cranks.”〔
Mackerle moved to Prague at the age of 16, where he attended the Czech Technical University in Prague, studying mechanical engineering, having already learned much about zoology and electronics.〔 After graduation, Mackerle worked as a designer and was a director of an automobile firm before he decided to take up cryptozoology more seriously.〔
