Animal Earth : the amazing diversity of living creatures
Piper, Ross2015
Books
The animal kingdom is staggeringly diverse, but the animals that most easily spring to mind - the tigers, elephants, eagles and crocodiles, or perhaps amphibians, fish and even humans - account for only a tiny proportion of known species. What's more, there are estimated to be many tens of millions still unknown to science. 'Animal Earth' is an unbiased tour of this world, highlighting the bizarre appearances, hidden lives and mostly small scale of the creatures we share our planet with.
