书籍简介

呼唤所有的爱鸟——或者猫、袋鼠和大蟒蛇!《不可能爱》是畅销书作者对动物依恋的探索，在人类看来，这种依恋只能被称为爱。举个例子，一只生活在野生动物保护区的狗把一只豹子孤儿当作自己的小妹妹一样对待。或者是一只被遗弃的新生羊羔的妈妈——一只碰巧像她的养母一样满身斑点的小羊羔。还有狐狸和猎狗的故事，它们像兄弟一样深情。甚至是与天鹅船形影不离的黑天鹅!在每一对不同寻常的情侣背后都有一个美丽的爱情故事。霍兰德采访了世界各地的科学家和动物学家，找到了第一手资料，采访了目击者来核实每一个故事，并附上了美丽的——有时真的难以置信的——照片。

Calling all love birds - or cats, kangaroos, and boa constrictors! From the bestselling author of Unlikely Friendships, Unlikely Loves is an exploration of animal attachments that, in human terms, can only be called love. Take, for instance, the dog living in a wildlife sanctuary who treats an orphaned leopard cub as his little beloved sister. Or the dalmation who mothers an abandoned newborn lamb - a lamb who just happened to be covered in spots like her adopted mama. Or the story of the fox and the hound, who are as affectionate as brothers. Or even the black swan who becomes inseparable with a swan boat! Behind each of these unusual pairings is a beautiful love story. Interviewing scientists and zoologists around the world, Holland has tracked down firsthand sources and interviewed eyewitnesses to verify each of the stories, which are accompanied by beautiful - and sometimes truly unbelievable - photographs.
