Exploring the Wondrous World of Bizarre Beasts

We are accustomed to marveling at the majesty of the lion, the agility of the monkey, and the grandeur of the elephant, and rightly so; their strength and beauty truly proclaim Hashem’s might. In this book, however, you will encounter creatures that are much less familiar…but possibly even more fascinating and amazing!

The binturong. The great potoo. The gerenuk, echidna, fossa, and dugong. No, these are not made-up words; these are real creatures from the animal world! And just like their unusual names, these creatures have some of the most bizarre characteristics. From animals that look like a mixture of three different animals to creatures with humongous eyes or weird bills and mouths, this book is your go-to source for a sampling of the strangest, yet most fascinating, fish, reptiles, and mammals that Hashem created.

Exploring the Wondrous World of Bizarre Beasts is a fun journey of discovery, as well as a celebration of the One who created so many different things, all with such precision and care. The pages in this book offer us a chance to deepen our awe and gratitude, and to realize that even the oddest of creatures bear the signature of their Creator.
