Reviews
Twenty-four different animals are highlighted in this book about animals who have physically adapted to their environments. Some of the animals include: Geoduck, Vampire Squid, Waxy Monkey Tree Frog and Naked Mole Rat. Each animal has their picture, a classification, their adaptation and some interesting facts about them. At the end there is a glossary as well as references for videos and other books to find more information. This book is very visually appealing with bright photographs of weird looking animals. I was fascinated and sometimes repulsed by the different animals and enjoyed reading about lesser known species. The information is text heavy with higher level vocabulary so it is geared towards older readers-maybe middle school or high school. Also, sometimes the author tries to be funny but it's such a factual book that the jokes seem random and aren't consistent throughout all the animals., "Both budding zoologists and children with even just a mild interest in the natural world will slurp this down."--Kirkus Reviews, "From the Camel spider's giant jaw to the vegetarian diet of the manatee, Rosen explores the peculiar and unique adaptations that have allowed a number of species to survive and thrive in their sometimes harsh ecosystems. Vibrant photos, helpful call-outs (including basic species information, adaptation highlights, and curious facts), and longer summaries fill the book. Covering a wealth of phylums and classes in the animal kingdom, Rosen's text is bound to pique the interest of readers as he skillfully covers each animal. The bold color palette of red and lime green give the book an eye-catching look, while cross sections and diagrams explain geoducks and more. Whether exploring the book as a resource for a science project or to satiate curiosity, readers will have trouble looking away from the occasionally gross-out photos and lively text. Both public and school libraries should consider adding this to their collections."--School Library Journal, "Profiles of 24 curious creatures, from the waxy monkey tree frog to Vampyroteuthis infernalis (literally, 'vampire squid from hell'). In introducing his diverse menagerie, Rosen focuses particularly on how each creature uses one or more of its distinctive physical features, such as the claws that give mole crickets 'major mining mojo' or the jaws of the Tasmanian devil, which can deliver a bite over 15 times as powerful as the average dog's. Along with covering basic adaptations to various habitats or niches, he also points to examples of convergent evolution and highlights intriguing recent discoveries--notably a type of fish that can begin altering its body to cope with a drier environment in only a few months, thus hinting at how quickly life might have first moved from the sea. Full taxonomic classifications for each animal accompany side notes on other features and behaviors worthy of mention, and at the end, the author adds generous lists of print and web resources for readers with a yen to dig deeper. The stock photos are a weak point, being too small to have much impact, but Rosen's narrative ('Finally, the camel spider sprays digestive juices onto the victim, which quickly dissolves into a protein shake that the spider can slurp down with a satisfied ahh!') offers imagery that's vivid enough to compensate. Both budding zoologists and children with even just a mild interest in the natural world will slurp this down."--Kirkus Reviews, "Whether exploring the book as a resource for a science project or to satiate curiosity, readers will have trouble looking away from the occasionally gross-out photos and lively text."--School Library Journal

Synopsis
A fish that walks on land, a frog that makes its own sunscreen, and an insect that can become invisible? Whether to avoid predators, to stalk prey, or to withstand extreme temperatures, Earth's creatures have evolved some outrageous features and tricks to ensure survival. For example, did you know that the geoduck (nope, it's not a duck, it's a clam) can live as long as 160 years? And that the aye-aye, a nocturnal primate, uses echolocation and a long, spindly finger to find and dig up food? Or that in its deep-ocean habitat, the vampire squid uses bioluminescence to startle predators? These are among the many animals that show evolution and adaptation at work., Examine nature's diversity through profiles of twenty-four fascinating animals. This book showcases animals whose survival strategies are among the planet's most extreme. Every creature here shows how, over thousands of generations, a species can transformsize, shape, color, behavior, or abilitiesto meet the challenges necessary to ensure the future of its kind. The axolotl's "mane" of frilly gills, the naked mole rat's squinty, buck-toothed face, and the proboscis monkey's reddish honker may seem bizarre or outrageous, but they provide insight as to how every creature, in its own competitive and harsh niche, has evolved ways to compete for territory and mates, and to eat and not be eaten.
