Beschreibung

'Everyone who loves wildlife - especially fantastically weird and cringingly gross wildlife - should read this masterful book'
MARK CARWARDINE

From the familiar to the improbable, the gross to the endearing, The Modern Bestiary is a compendium of curious creatures. It 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 cross-dressing cuttlefish and mouse-like 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.

With illustrations by Jennifer N. R. Smith
