Do you know what species of bird can sew? Do you know what species of octopus has females that can be 6 feet, 6 inches long, and males that are 1 inch long? And, do you know the answer to the question that baffles many pet owners, why do dogs eat poop? This book answers all of these questions and many more. It also talks about interesting and disgusting characteristics of animals, even some species you probably have never heard of.

Opinion: 

I enjoyed reading this book, however at some points, I wished that the author had explained how or why something happened in more detail. It's written in a question-answer format, so it gets you curious about a topic, and then dives into it. After reading the book, I think that it would have been more enjoyable if I had skimmed through the questions in the book, and only read the ones that made me interested in the topic. Overall, this was an interesting and informal read, but not a cover-to-cover one.
