Modern Bestiary: A Curated Collection of Wondrous Creatures

This book is a compendium of curious creatures that includes both well-known and lesser-known animals, such as skin-eating caecilians, harp sponges, and zombie worms.

Arranged by elements, the book features well-known species with new perspectives, like rats driving cars and fish communicating through wind. It also includes lesser-known creatures like carnivorous mice that howl at the moon, cross-dressing cuttlefish, and antechinuses that mate themselves to death.

Written by a zoologist with a storytelling flair, this book celebrates the animal kingdom.
