Real animals are more bizarre than the most incredible fantasies and fascinate us no less than the illustrations of a medieval bestiary. This thought prompted Caspar Henderson to write a book full of tenderness and concern about our planet. The more we study nature, the more amazing discoveries we make. Scientists discovered the yeti crab living in almost boiling water only in 2005. The axolotl, capable of regenerating not only lost limbs, but also some internal organs, inspires hope among transplantologists. Mysterious sponges can tell a lot about the origins of animals and humans. The king of nature is given a separate chapter, although in fact the entire book is dedicated to him, because the author examines the animals themselves through the prism of their similarity and dissimilarity to humans, figuring out how evolution and variety of forms help to interpret human nature.
