书籍简介

诗人戴维·艾略特带领我们来到动物世界的边缘，探索地球上奇特、稀有的生物。

为什么墨西哥钝口螈总是面带微笑？马克霍尔山羊真的擅长跑酷吗？孔雀蜘蛛的舞蹈，包括它那隆隆作响的臀部，如果不能取悦它的心仪对象，会发生什么？从鳞片闪闪的穿山甲到鸭嘴兽，从指猴到永远闷闷不乐（却又可爱）的黑雨蛙，戴维·艾略特的诗意小品以诙谐幽默又富含知识性的笔触，带我们一窥世界上一些奇特的动物。本书由拼贴艺术家克洛弗·罗宾绘制了精美的插图，生动地展现了这些独特的生物，必将令所有动物爱好者欣喜不已。

Poet David Elliott brings us to the edge of the animal world to explore the weirdest and rarest creatures on the planet.

Why does the axolotl salamander always seem to be smiling? Is it true that the wild goat known as a markhor is excellent at parkour? What happens when the peacock spider's dance, complete with its rumble-rumps, doesn't please the object of its affection? Providing a peek at everything from scaly pangolins to duck-billed platypuses, from the lemur known as an aye-aye to the perpetually grumpy (and adorable) black rain frog, David Elliott's poetic vignettes deliver a witty and informative take on some of the world's oddest animals. Brought to life in striking illustrations by collage artist Clover Robin, this roundup of unique creatures will delight animal lovers of all stripes.
