Weird and Wonderful Animals

Follow the adventures of an intrepid explorer, and meet some of the world’s most bizarre animals!
Did you know there’s a wasp that looks like a panda, a basilisk snake that runs over water, a butterfly with a large skull on its body, and a fish that seems to be wearing lipstick? Kids will discover all this and more, as they join an explorer doing research in the wild and see a world of curious animals. Along with detailed illustrations of these cool and surprising creatures, young naturalists get lots of fascinating information from a team of experts.
