Animal Records by Mark Carwardine

Animal Records is the definitive guide to the most exceptional creatures on Earth, from the strongest and shortest to the longest and laziest. Packed with thousands of amazing facts and all the latest discoveries from the animal kingdom, it features world record holders from each of the main animal groups including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. Find out how the okapi can lick and clean its own eyes. Discover the tiny cat flea that jumps with an acceleration equivalent to over 20 times that needed to launch a space rocket. The book is written by award-winning writer and broadcaster Mark Carwardine, and fully checked and approved by Natural History Museum experts. With stunning photographs and all the latest discoveries, this fully revised and updated paperback edition is a celebration of creatures both great and small that will appeal to all the family.
