Re-reading the blurb on the back of this book I'm not sure why I bought it. The pretty cover? The really interesting title? To this day I'm not sure but I'm glad I did.
This book is a series of small chapters each of which features a different animal which through evolution has developed a unique talent. I was fascinated. This is a great book to dip in and out of and then annoy your loved ones with amazing, and at times gross, animal facts.
