How does a mudskipper fish manage to “walk” on land? Why is the
Hoatzin also known as ‘The Stinkbird’? And once the female Pipa
toad has laid her eggs, where does she put them? The answers? The
mudskipper can “walk” using its pectoral fins, the Hoatzin has
a unique digestive system which gives the bird a manure-like odour,
and the female Pipa Toad embeds its eggs on its back where they
develop to adult stage. Illustrated throughout with outstanding
colour photographs, Strange Animals presents the most unusual
aspects of 100 of the most unusual species. The selection spans a
broad spectrum of wildlife, from the tallest land living mammal,
the giraffe, to the light, laughing chorus of Australian kookaburra
birds, from the intelligence of the Bottlenose dolphin to octopuses
that change colour when they dream to the slow pace of the
three-toed sloth. Arranged geographically, the photographs are
accompanied by fascinating captions, which explain the quirky
characteristics of each entry. Including egg-laying mammals, birds,
reptiles, amphibians, cannibalistic insects and other
invertebrates, Strange Animals is a compelling introduction to some
of nature’s most curious beasts.
