Additionally, when introducing a species, it also briefly covers characteristics of related species listed in the Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as well as other closely related species and the entire taxonomic group.
Furthermore, the book collects many interesting anecdotes about animals in daily life, striving to make it a science popularization read that blends scientific rigor, knowledge, and readability.
