Did you know that fish can walk, snakes can fly and eggs can talk? What about the electric eel that could light up your house, or the lemur that every day eats enough poison to kill a dozen humans? Rick Wilkinson shows how animals adapt to their environment in bizarre and unexpected ways. If you don't want to get spewed on by a sea bird, slashed by a mantis shrimp or slimed by a hagfish, you'd better read this book!
