From the familiar to the improbable, the gross to the endearing,
The Modern Bestiary is a compendium of curious creatures. It
includes both animals that have made headlines and those you've
probably never heard of, such as skin-eating caecilians, harp
sponges, or zombie worms - also known as bone-eating snot flowers.
Arranged by elements (Earth, Water, Air), The Modern Bestiary
contains well-known species told from new, unexpected angles (rats
that drive cars; fish that communicate by passing wind), as well as
stranger and lesser-known creatures, including carnivorous mice
that howl at the moon, cross-dressing cuttlefish, and antechinuses
- small marsupials that literally mate themselves to death.
Finally, there are the 'aliens on Earth' - the incredible, the
surreal, the magical - such as tardigrades, tongue-eating lice and
immortal jellyfish, creatures so astonishing that they make
unicorns look rather commonplace. Written by a zoologist with a
flair for storytelling, this is a fascinating celebration of the
animal kingdom.
