Our world is full of

be found in this amazing guide. There are 4 categories featuring Strange
Animals, Gross Animals, Unusual Animals and Cool Animals. There are tabs that
have a Gallery which explores animals from around the world but have adapted to
their environments. The Featured Creature section introduces readers to
specific animals with detailed descriptions of its life, stat boxes and maps.
The Creature Collection shows a comparison and contrast of some selected
animals. The Macroview pages share tiny details of very small animals.
Photos and descriptions
show the red Vampire Squid, a Tonkin Bug-Eyed frog that looks like a green
mossy rock. The Jumping Spider is yellow and its prickly hairs are icky. The
Hoatzin bird has a long neck, small head and smells like cow manure. The
Blue-Ringed octopus is small enough to fit in your hand but 1 milligram of its
venom can kill. Animal lovers of all kinds will definitely find a favorite
bird, animal, insect or fish on these pages. The amazing photography puts these
critters in the spotlight. Short bursts of information share fun facts making
this a quick read.
