Our planet is a veritable cornucopia of wondrous life, popping at the seams with marvellous and peculiar creatures. Life has wriggled its way into every conceivable nook and cranny, and nature has belched out organisms in even the most inhospitable environments. The Weird Animal Almanac is a compendium of 100 of these most curious of creatures. From beasts that could fit on a pinhead and survive a saunter into space, to sea creatures just waiting for an excuse to smash a ship into smithereens. This beautifully illustrated collection will delight and bedazzle in equal measure.
