SynopsisA fascinating compendium featuring over 70 unusual animal species. What's in a name? This lively, illustrated celebration is jam-packed with creatures notable for their bizarre, baffling, and just-plain-funny names. Meet the White-Bellied Go-Away Bird , whose cry sounds like someone screaming, "Go away!" Or the Aye-Aye , whose name means "I don't know" in Malagasy because no one wants anything to do with this bad-luck creature. Some are obvious, if still weird--guess what the Fried Egg Jellyfish looks like. Others sound like an inside joke: It's easy to figure out what was on the taxonomist's mind when he christened a fly he discovered Pieza Pie . Along the way you'll learn all about these curiously named animals' just-as-curious habits, appearances, and abilities., An illustrated compendium of animals with funny, fascinating, or just-plain-weird names (like the sparklemuffin peacock spider or the fried egg jellyfish) teaches kids about unusual animals as well as scientific taxonomy.

Introducing The Screaming Hairy Armadillo and 76 Other Animals with Wild, Wacky Names , a science-based illustrated celebration of creatures notable for their bizarre, baffling, and just-plain-funny names. Meet the Waxy Monkey Tree Frog, who lives high in the forests of South America--the "waxy" refers to its skin secretions and the "monkey" comes from its long, simian fingers, perfect for climbing. The White-Bellied Go-Away Bird--guess what its cry sounds like? Plus the Fried Egg Jellyfish, the Sparklemuffin Peacock Spider, the Bone-Eating Snot Flower Worm, and many more. While the names of these species are undeniably curious, the heart of the book is their just-as-curious habits, appearance, abilities--and the stories of how they acquired their unusual monikers. There are over 70 creatures in all, brought to life with full-color illustrations and photographs and detailed, engagingly written text.
