Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
An amazing collection of animal stories, the emphasis in which, as a rule, is placed on their strange behavior, including sexual. In his book, translated into 18 languages, the famous British writer, zoologist and TV presenter Lucy Cook tells that it was the thinkers, writers and scientists of the past that thought about these animals, in which they were mistaken, what kind of outlandish experiments they put, and what is the truth in fact. Truth is often more incredible than the most incredible inventions and myths.
“We are used to considering the kingdom of animals through the prism of our rather limited existence. The woody lifestyle makes him like an alien and one of the most incomprehensible animals in the world, but he is far from alone in this category. Life accepts brilliant myriads of alien forms, and even the simplest of them are difficult to understand. Evolution arranged many magnificent draws, unpredictably creating incredible creatures, and gave little tips to explain their actions: mammals like bat who want to be birds, birds like Pisguins, who want to be fish, fish like an acne with a mysterious life cycle, from -For which for two thousand years the search for invisible Gonads continued. Animals are reluctant to reveal their secrets. ” (Lucy Cook)
“This book is a modern bestiary, backed up by a wonderful evidence base, which should be expected from the Oxford zoologist. And moreover, it is written with unsurpassed humor! ” (Richard Dokins)
