Platypus: World's Strangest Animal [B0799]

2015 HC in nice clean condition. Whitley Award Winner for nature/conservation 2016. From the back: "This book will take you on a journey into the bizarre world of the platypus and echidna - the world's only egg-laying mammals - and offers clues as to where in Australia you may go to see these intriguing animals. Written and photographed by Emmy award-winning wildlife filmmakers Elizabeth Parer-Cook and David Parer, this book incorporates up-to-date scientific knowledge about the platypus with fresh new photographs of the animal's unique behaviour. Featured are extremely rare images of baby platypuses interacting with their mother inside their nest deep underground, and mesmerising photographs of pairs courting in the wild.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A true highlight of my life was seeing platypuses in the wild. I devoured this book and all of the details about this amazing animal, which I have adored ever since I first was introduced to the platypus via Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood!"; "Short but informative book on the lifestyle, feeding and breeding habits of the platypus, with full page colour photos. Also has a short section on the other monotreme that lays eggs, the echidna."
