Make way for the worlds weirdest, most wonderful creatures-from the author of the forthcoming A Curious Collection of Dangerous Creatures Publishers Note: A Curious Collection of Peculiar Creatures was previously published in Australia as The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Ugly Animals.Whats your favorite animal-a majestic lion, a graceful horse? Those are great choices, but have you considered the fangtooth moray eel? It has two rows of icicle-shaped teeth! And the monkey slug caterpillar is ready to cuddle . . . just look out for the stingers all over its body (and its six limbs that technically arent legs)!Its true, these animals are a little different-but their unusual features often give them incredible superpowers. Take the nearly blind star-nosed mole: Its pink, flower-shaped nose can detect the microscopic texture of everything it touches, and it does this at warp speed-up to 12 objects per second!Whats more, many of these weird, wonderful creatures need our help: Theyre endangered, and we cant afford to ignore their well-being any longer. Its time to find a peculiar creature to love! Why not the blobfish? 60 color and 175 B&W illustrations
