Atlas Obscura: Wild Life

I was honoured to be one of the contributing writers to this amazing book for adults, with my pieces about sea slugs (and their secret superpowers) and the world’s ugliest orchid. There are many more to discover, so I’ll let the book’s official blurb tell you a bit more about it …

From the curious minds of Atlas Obscura, authors of #1 New York Times bestselling Atlas Obscura and Gastro Obscura, comes an unputdownable celebration of the world’s living wonders. Learn how dung beetles navigate by the stars, and trees communicate through their roots. Pay your respects to a 44,000 year old shrub, float along flying rivers, and explore a garbage dump overseen by endangered storks.

Featuring over 500 extraordinary plants, animals, and natural phenomena, with illustrations and photos on every page, the book takes readers around the globe-from Antarctic deserts to lush jungles, and into the deepest fathoms of the ocean and the hearts of our densest cities. Teeming with detail and wildly entertaining, Wild Life reinvigorates our sense of wonder, awe and amazement about the incredible creatures we share our planet with.
