Those that survive in extreme conditions—such as the desert frog that can survive after being buried for years; certain plants can self-ignite. At the same time, this book introduces creatures from different eras and spaces than we live in, such as the extremely short-lived insects, while for reptiles, time is, in fact, eternal. Finally, the author also discusses the relationship between supernatural animals and humans—for example, the healing effects of pets and dolphin therapy. Numerous exquisite images complement the engaging text. This book transcends our current understanding, turning science fiction into scientific fact.
