Who Are You Calling Weird?
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
Delve into the forests, burrow under the ground and dive into the deep to discover nature's most peculiar creatures and learn about their behaviour, diet and habitat, as well as folk beliefs about each animal.
Hidden away in Earth's forests, caves and oceans, these creatures might look or behave in peculiar ways but, as you will soon find out, every oddity serves a purpose:
the long, skeletal finger of an aye-aye, used by this lemur to tap on trees to locate hollow tunnels where delicious insects hide
the barrel-shaped eyes of a Pacific barreleye fish that turn upward to watch for prey above through its transparent head
the big, bulbous nose of a proboscis monkey designed to attract mates
the armor-like scales of a pangolin that are so tough that even lions and tigers can't bite through them
Come face-to-face with the most curious creatures from across the globe, and decide for yourself who's the weirdest of them all.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
