The Wildlife Companion

The Wildlife Companion is for anyone who has ever heard a bird sing, watched a moth flutter against a light, or ambled through a bluebell wood and wondered, just for a moment, how such a diverse and beautiful natural world could possibly have come about. Just leaf through these pages and discover the real truth about lemmings, how ladybugs retract their wings, the bizarre mating habits of dragonflies, how Aristotle cured elephants of insomnia, and how to say “blackbird” in Klingon. The Wildlife Companion will introduce you to a Cawdy Mawdy, a Mouldiwarp, a Hornywink, a Fiddle Dock, and more than 500 more animal amazements, ornithological oddities, and botanical beauties.
