Beautiful

Spring, William

£18.99

All of nature is beautiful. This book shows how a variety of amazing creatures have evolved to look and behave the way they do. As humans, we like our animals to be cuddly and furry, or smooth and sleek. We shy away from those creatures that, to us, look odd. But we should drop those opinions – everything has evolved for a reason, and is perfect in its own way. Take a look at the vampire squid, or the duck-billed golden line barbel – both have evolved in interesting and amazing ways to find food, deter predators or attract a mate. Everything is perfect. Everything is beautiful.
