Overview
CURIOUS CREATURES is a beautifully provocative view of nature's most unusual and memorable creatures. Fish that fly, birds that are flightless, beautiful but deadly insects, snakes that play dead, and well-camouflaged predators - no matter how bizarre in form or seemingly odd in behavior, each animal has a very specific reason for looking and acting as it does. This book explains striking behavior and vividly portrays animals that have specially adapted to their specific environments. Within you'll meet remarkable creatures that have developed odd physical features such as colorful faces and pendulous noses, poisonous tentacles, razor-sharp tusks and teeth, and brush-like antennae. The reasons for such strange characteristics are many, including deception, defense, camouflage and unique courtship displays. Illuminating in both words and remarkable pictures, CURIOUS CREATURES is just one title in the acclaimed Creatures of the Ocean series. For those who want to delve into the amazing and sometimes mysterious world of ocean life, these books are a wonderful resource filled with scientific fact and beautiful photography.
