The animal review : the genius, mediocrity, and breathtaking stupidity that is nature / Jacob Lentz and Steve Nash.

Lentz, Jacob. (Author). Nash, Steve. (Added Author).

Summary:

"From Aristotle to Charles Darwin, Carolus Linnaeus to the Crocodile Hunter, humans have been studying animals for thousands of years. Sure, we've learned some stuff. Snakes lack arms. Fish breathe water. Bears have complicated biochemical nervous systems. But in all this time, no one has ever answered the most important question of all: Are these animals any good?" "Here, at long last, are the authoritative listings and ratings of dozens of your favorite (and least favorite) animals. Expanding on their popular blog of the same name, Jacob Lentz and Steve Nash give you facts, charts, and photos with which to make your own judgment ... and then they make it for you."--BOOK JACKET.
