Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a book about some of the most unusual members of the animal kingdom. The cases related here are most bizarre, yet very real.
Male seahorses can get pregnant while some slugs are hermaphrodites and there really are succh things as blood sucking bats. Male deep sea anglerfish parasitically attach themselves to their females for life. Horned lizards are known to squirt blood from their eyes as a means of self-defense. Likewise, animals ranging from lizards to starfish sacrifice body parts to escape from predators and then they later regrow those same parts. Female preying mantises bite off the head of the male while the male is couplating and the headless male keeps right on with the impregnation.
This book is written in the form of short essays and with a whimsical writing style to boot. This is a good book.
