Deep inside caves, at the bottoms of oceans and lakes, beneath the
ground: these concealed habitats are absent of sunlight. This
strange and fascinating world of complete darkness is not a
solitary place-it is inhabited by millions of life forms. Yet most
humans-creatures of daylight-have never seen any of them. Until
now. In this fascinating-sometimes eerie-book, extreme wildlife
photographer and scientist Dante Fenolio brings the denizens of
these shadowy haunts into focus. Life in the Dark shows us the many
ways in which life forms have adapted to lightless environments,
including refinements of senses, evolution of unique body parts,
and illumination using "biological flashlights." With more than 200
mesmerizing color photographs, Life in the Dark unveils bizarre
creatures like the firefly squid, the giant Amazonian catfish, the
Chinese cavefish, and even the human bot fly, which lives in the
darkness beneath its host's skin. Fenolio's rich and vibrant images
shed new light on the world's fascinating creatures of darkness.
