cmbohn 's review for:
I love nature writing. I am a big fan of David Attenborough. I love it even more when it's funny nature writing. I'd never heard of Lucy Cooke, but I am definitely a fan now. This book was informative, hilarious and full of so much crazy stuff! Thanks for the chance to read it. I would recommend this one for sure!
"I joined Claudio on an expedition in search of one of the country’s most fabulous freaks, the incredibly rare Southern Darwin’s frog, which was discovered by the big beard himself in 1834 on his epic five year Beagle voyage. What makes this frog so extraordinary is that it has eschewed conventional pond-based metamorphosis for something more sci-fi: after mating the male guards the fertilized eggs until they are close to hatching, then gobbles them up. Six weeks later, like a scene out of Alien, he barfs up baby frogs. He is the only male animal other than the seahorse to give birth, albeit through his mouth."
