Animals Being Extra

Nature isn't subtle. Animals Being Extra: 35 of The Most Dramatic, Delightfully Unhinged Animals on Earth is not your average wildlife book, because nature itself is not average. For every humble pupper, there's a frog that snaps its own bones into weapons, a bird that redecorates his bachelor pad daily just to get a single date, and an octopus who says, "Eight arms. Independent brain. Mood ring skin. Let's go!" This is a celebration of the divas, the drama queens, the overachievers, and the evolutionary weirdos that make the natural world look like a Broadway production on a sugar high. In this lovingly-illustrated, full-color book, you'll find a dazzling cast of real-life creatures who do the most, from peacocks flaunting feathers like red carpet royalty to possums playing dead with full method-acting commitment. This is the animal kingdom, turned up to 11. So if you've ever looked at a squirrel launching off a bird feeder and thought, That was uncalled for, or watched a cat knock something off a table with perfect eye contact and whispered, Iconic, -this book is for you. Enjoy the chaos. Indulge in the flair. And remember: being extra isn't a flaw. It's a superpower.
