About this ebook
Beginning with Yuka, a 39,000-year-old mummified woolly mammoth recently found in the Siberian permafrost, each of the sixteen essays in Animals Strike Curious Poses investigates a different famous animal named and immortalized by humans. Modeled loosely after a medieval bestiary, these witty, playful, whipsmart essays traverse history, myth, science, and more, bringing each beast vibrantly to life.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5And a half star. I think everyone will have their favourites. Mine were Arabella, Lancelot and Vogel Staar. I didn't get through them all but it is the sort of book that rewards dipping here and there to enjoy whatever you fancy.... and there's some quite disturbing parts.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you love animals, you will never see them the same way again after reading Elena Passarello's brilliant, soulful collection of essays based on the stories of fascinating animals and our human interaction with them.
I loved this book. I learned so much and had so much fun learning it.
