Description
Literally looking inside the animal world, from turtles to triceratops, from the oesophagus of an octopus to the entrails of an elephant, this book uses illustrations to reveal nature's innermost workings. Each spread focuses on a different creature, getting under the skin to reveal what a camel really keeps in its hump, what a mosquito does with all the blood, and what happens to a rat after a rattlesnake has swallowed it whole. This book features a range of animals including sea creatures such as starfish and insects such as the bee. Additional illustrations compare the anatomy and physiology of each animal with mechanical equivalents - some real and some imaginary. - from Amzon
