Illustrated in lifelike full-color paintings, Astonishing Animals details ninety-seven of the most amazing animals from around the world. You'll find the hairy seadevil, the spectacular Sulawesi naked bat, and, in the depths of the limestone caves in Slovenia, the olm, a pink, four-legged, sightless salamander that lives for a hundred years. In vignettes, Flannery offers the true evolutionary tale of how each of these bizarre creatures came to look the way it does. Alongside each historical account is a stunning hand-painted color reproduction by Peter Schouten.
