Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I’ve encountered many non-human creatures on my life’s journey. I’ve owned snakes, turtles, canaries, parakeets, pigeons, dogs, and cats. I’ve had hilarious encounters with such diverse creatures as a kamikaze bee and a pot-bellied pig who thinks she’s human. I’ve studied and observed black bears, eagles, osprey, red-tailed hawks, moose, deer, loons, raccoons, ducks, geese, opossums, skunks, and many other wild creatures. I have found each and every one of these animals to be a unique and wondrous being. Animals have truly brought fullness to my life. Some of them have also brought deep anguish and pain. Each person or animal depicted in this book has taught me something. Some of these lessons have been humorous, some painful, and some extremely sad. Yet I truly believe that my encounters with all sorts of animals have been an integral part of making me who I am today – an avowed ‘animal person.’
