The creatures in this book are hidden in various ways. Some survive by means of symbiotic relationships with other creatures, like the clownfish living among an anemone's poisonous tentacles. Some are closely related to seemingly unconnected animals, like the elephant and the manatee. Some change color. Some change sex. Some disguise themselves."These are my love letters to Planet Earth, celebrations of her amazing creatures--those that are breathtakingly beautiful and those that are homely, bizarre, or rarely seen at all.--Ben Rothery
