Reseña del libro "The Modern Bestiary: A Curated Collection of Wondrous Wildlife (en Inglés)"
A quirky collection of Earth's most compelling animals who give mythical creatures a run for their money The Modern Bestiary: A Curated Collection of Wondrous Wildlife mirrors the medieval tradition of an encyclopedia of incredible beasts, only this charming book with ornamental illustrations features 100 real animals who are stranger than fiction. Organized by the elements Earth, Water, and Air, the book introduces both unfamiliar creatures, like deep-sea harp sponges who catch prey in their barbs and digest them whole, as well as ones that have made headlines, such as cicadas who emerge from the ground in noisy broods every thirteen or seventeen years. Step right up and meet these delightful, unbelievable, and deliciously horrific animals, including: The endearing: same-sex albatross mothers who raise chicks togethertarantulas who keep frogs as petszebra finches who sing to their eggs to warn them of hot weatherThe ruthless: flukes who manipulate their host into getting eaten by a final hosthorned lizards who squirt blood through their eyes to distract predatorssouthern grasshopper mice who harness scorpion venom as a painkiller And the just plain weird: antechinuses who mate themselves to deathpearlfish who live, fight, and mate in sea cucumber buttsimmortal jellyfish who reverse their aging process when stressed Funny, entertaining, and illuminating, The Modern Bestiary is a book for anyone who wants to become more familiar with the natural world and all its astounding creatures.
