The Modern Bestiary: A Curated Collection of Wondrous Wildlife by Joanna Bagniewska EPUB
A carefully curated collection of some of the world's most weird and wonderful animals, in a modern version of a medieval bestiary.
From the familiar to the improbable, the gross to the endearing, The Modern Bestiary is a compendium of curious creatures. It includes both animals that have made headlines and those you've probably never heard of, such as skin-eating caecilians, harp sponges or zombie worms—also known as bone-eating snot flowers.
Arranged by elements (Earth, Water, Air), The Modern Bestiary contains well-known species told from unexpected new angles (rats that drive cars; fish that communicate by passing wind), as well as stranger and lesser-known creatures, including carnivorous mice that howl at the moon, cross-dressing cuttlefish and antechinuses—small marsupials that literally mate themselves to death. Finally, there are the 'aliens on Earth'—the incredible, the surreal, the magical—such as tardigrades, tongue-eating lice and immortal jellyfish, creatures so astonishing that they make unicorns look rather commonplace.
Written by a zoologist with a flair for storytelling, this is a fascinating celebration of the animal kingdom.
