Even as babies we humans pay close attention to faces. Observing another person's features and expressions tells us whether they are happy angry excited or sad. And when we look at an animal it's hard not to imagine that its face is communicating human feelings. This isn't true of course. Squinty eyes an upturned mouth or another odd expression is probably there because in some way it helps that animal survive. Packed with many cool facts and visuals on where certain animals live and what they eat this book captures twenty-five humorousand very trueexplanations of why animals look the way they do in order to exist in this world.
