In this hilariously funny and charmingly illustrated book, readers are introduced to incredible animals and the strange things human scientists do to understand them. Did you know that crows never forget a face? Or that jaguars have a favorite scent? Have you ever wondered how to pet a yeti crab? Or if dogs can tell if you're smiling? And what exactly is a sunken bettong?

From making fake poop to drinking bugs with a straw, there's nothing these amazing scientists won't do to help us learn more about the animals around us. Packed with fascinating facts, this humorous book reveals secrets such as why roosters start turning red and how meerkats make decisions as a group - and how humans can better understand the wild creatures we share the planet with.
