Discover the astonishing truth about our aquatic cousins: how they think and what they know, their experiences and unique behaviours, and the many things we have in common. The Secret Life of Fish brings you up close and personal with:
- The parasitic vampires that attach themselves to other fish to drain their blood.
- The sharks that can live for up to twelve hours out of water.
- The inhabitants of a geothermal pool in Death Valley, Nevada.
- The amazing transforming eels that migrate thousands of miles to breed.
He also lists their habitat, distinguishing features, their likes and personality. Did you know a stickleback is defiant and likes plankton and vegetation and a Peter’s Elephantnose Fish is Bookish and likes rooting around? I wonder if he has read this one. Doug Mckay-Hope, a trained biologist, profiles the secret lives of fifty of planet earth’s strangest, largest, tiniest, rarest and most prolific underwater residents in this insightful and myth-busting text, complete with charming watercolour diagrams, maps and expert insight.
