For fans of 'What If?' and 'New Scientist' comes this brilliantly funny and informative look at the stranger side of evolution. Featuring: the Zombie ants mind-controlled by a fungus; beautiful salamanders that can regenerate any part of their bodies, including their brains; the mantis shrimp, which fires its club-like appendage so fast that the surrounding water becomes as hot as the surface of the sun; the Antechinus, whose runaway testosterone levels cause them to have so much sex during their three-week mating season that they bleed internally, go blind, and drop dead.
