Description
The Worlds Most Pointless Animals is a witty, quirky, colorfully-illustrated book featuring fascinating facts about some very silly animalswho we find are perhaps not so pointless after all.
Overview
From familiar animals like giraffes (who dont have any vocal cords) through to those that surely should not even exist, such as the pink fairy armadillo (absurdly huge front claws, super tough protective shell in baby pink, particularly susceptible to stress), our planet is full of some prettyweird and wonderful animals.For example:
- Koalas spend up to 18 hours a day asleep!
- Pandas are born bright pink, deaf, and blind.
- Dumbo octopuses flap their big fin-like ears to move around.
- A Narwhals tusk grows through its upper lipouch!
Withhilarious textthroughout andbright, contemporary illustrations, this guide to absurdly awesome animals containsfunny labelled diagramsand someexcellent made-up Latin names(n.b. the jellyfishs scientific name is not actually wibblious wobblious ouchii).
Carrying an importantmessage of celebrating diversity and differences,The Worlds Most Pointless Animalsinspires a drive to conserve our amazing planet and the creatures were lucky enough to share it with.
