Description

Richard Conniff (au). With wit & elegance, Conniff persuades the queasiest of readers to share his fascination with the extravagant variety of animals & their strategies. He states that “I have never quite overcome the gut feeling that fear of nature is normal -- it can also be pleasurable. What I really find creepy & wonderful about nature are not its great terrors, but its weird, unsuspected minutiae. For instance, that some sharks practice sibling cannibalism in the womb. I am captivated by the sight of a keyhole limpet which carries a sort of vicious pet under its shell.” This book is full of such fascinating information about bats, cormorants, mice, sharks, porcupines, snapping turtles, & many other creatures.
