On every continent of our planet live amazing, if not bizarre, animals and birds. Some of them are striking in their appearance, others in their habits, which seem strange at first glance, and still others in their remarkable abilities.
The book "Whims of Nature" by the well-known science popularizer, biologist, and writer Igor Akimushkin will tell you all about these animals and birds. You will learn whether porcupines shoot their quills, whether crocodiles build nests, who jumps the highest and farthest, which bird has claws on its wings, whether snakes spit... Special attention is paid to rare and endangered animals that require protection. A separate chapter describes the amazing phenomena of the Earth's plant world.
