100 Bizarre Animals, by Mike Unwin |
|
 Ever wondered what a blobfish looked like? Or perhaps a mata mata? Mike Unwin can tell you. His latest book 100 Bizarre Animals has just been published by Bradt (£16.99, www.bradtguides.com) and contains a fascinating collection of the world’s wackiest creatures.
Meet the beetle which stands on its head to drink from fog on the breeze and the horned toad which squirts blood from its eyes at attackers. Illustrated with more than 160 glorious – and sometimes grotesque – photographs, this is a welcome companion guide to Mike’s previous book 100 Animals to See Before They Die.
Purchase from Amazon.

“By the Singapore River the skyscrapers of the Central Business District flash through momentarily, unreal and unnatural, wearing their windows like twinkling chain mail. If there exists any beauty in this vision, it is not the Creator’s; it is the elegance of geometric lines and curves fashioning a horizon shaped by Man as master of the jungle’s anarchy.”
John Malathronas, Singapore Swing, (Summersdale, 2007) |
