The World's Most Pointless Animals is a witty, quirky, colourfully
illustrated book featuring fascinating facts about some very silly
animals ... who we find are perhaps not so pointless after all.
From familiar animals like giraffes (who don't have any vocal
cords) through to those that surely should not even exist, such as
the pink fairy armadillo (absurdly huge front claws, super tough
protective shell in baby pink, particularly susceptible to stress),
our planet is full of some pretty weird and wonderful animals. For
example: Koalas spend up to 18 hours a day asleep! Pandas are born
bright pink, deaf and blind. Dumbo octopuses flap their big
fin-like ears to move around. A Narwhal's tusk grows through its
upper lip - ouch! With hilarious text throughout and bright,
contemporary illustrations, this guide to absurdly awesome animals
contains funny labelled diagrams and some excellent made-up Latin
names (n.b. the jellyfish's scientific name is not actually
wibblious wobblious ouchii). Carrying an important message of
celebrating diversity and differences, The World's Most Pointless
Animals inspires a drive to conserve our amazing planet and the
creatures we're lucky enough to share it with. Quirky Creatures is
a series dedicated to seeking out the weird and wonderful denizens
of the natural world and explaining why they are so strange, from
the ridiculous to the truly terrifying. Also available in this
series is The World's Most Ridiculous Animals and The World's Most
Atrocious Animals.
