A World of Their Own!

Penguins that shoot poo, drunken birds and intoxicated cows leaping over small twigs. There are a world of zoological curiosities out there just begging to be unleashed. Matt Walker tells you why zebras have stripes and more in this hilariously interesting and first professionally researched miscellany guide to the bizarre animal kingdom.

Want to find out which Ants keep their kidnapees as slaves? Why kangaroos thump their feet? Or the price chimps will pay to get sloshed? Did you know virgin male butterflies make better lovers? Or that male flour beetles can impregnate beetles they have never met? Written by one of the best science journalists in the world, Why Do Moths Drink Elephants Tears unearths all of this and more in an addictive collection of eclectic insights into the wondrous diversity of the animal life that surrounds us.
