A remarkable read, that sheds light on the diversity of the animal kingdom and their sexual makeup. There were quite a few surprises and laugh out loud moments. The creator of the kingdom and evolution are simply amazing.

This is a great read for biologists, students and every day individuals who are simply curious.

I actually loved this book! It was fascinating as a zoologist! I wouldn’t use it for my students as i think it might be a tad innapropriate for our curriculum but would definitely use some of the information about evolution and behaviour in my lessons
