What is Weird Animals about?
Meet some of the animal kingdom’s strangest creatures and discover what makes them special. Learn how the platypus uses its duck-like bill, how a mudskipper can move on land, and why the Komodo dragon is such a powerful hunter. Penguins, lemurs, bats, octopuses and manatees are also explored, with clear facts about their unusual bodies, behaviours and habitats. Colourful photographs and simple explanations show that every curious feature has an important purpose.
