Weirdest animals on the planet / [Jennifer Szymanski, writer].

Summary:

Meet the most unusual, most fantastical, creepiest, and-yes-grossest creatures that call Earth home in this lively, fact-filled guide to the world's oddest animals. Did you know that the axolotl can regrow nearly any body part? Or that the hagfish can fill a bucket with slime in less than a minute? Get ready to say "WHOA!" in this wacky book about the most bizarre animals in the world! Readers will encounter hundreds of far-out facts about animals with bizarre behaviors, strange superpowers, and mind-blowing mannerisms. They'll learn where these animals live, how their strange skill sets help them survive, and what makes them so wonderfully weird. There are animals of all shapes and sizes to ogle here-from the spindly-fingered aye-aye to a sea slug shaped like a fuzzy bunny to a shrimp that launches bubbles from its claws. With jaw-dropping photos and upbeat, straightforward text, this fast-paced book will delight animal-obsessed readers.
