Book Description
Excerpt from On Some Remarkable Forms of Animal Life: From the Great Deeps Off the Norwegian Coast Preface. Under the above title I purpose, if I can obtain the necessary assistance, to make known little by little the most important discoveries which I have had opportunity to make during my deep-sea investigations in recent years; and I shall consider it my duty first to treat those animal forms which my Father has already partially examined and designated. The present university-program comprises some of these belonging to 6 diiferent classes of animals, namely 2 Polyzoa, 2 Conchifera, 3 Cephalophores, 2 Annelids, 2 Corals and 3 Sponges. These animal forms had already been partially destined by my Father for more detailed notice in a university-program similar to that composed on the subject of the Rhizocrinus; and application for the requisite assistance was already sent in to the academical college, when his unexpected death put a sudden end to the important investigations which he had commenced. It is therefore with deep gratitude that I here acknowledge the kindness of the college, in confiding to me the elaboration and publishing of the intended program; and although I am well aware of my want of that thorough acquaintance with the invertebrate animals, and of that clear and precise method of treatment which always distinguished my Father's works, it is still a pleasure for me to have opportunity given for prosecuting to the best of my power those investigations, to which my Father devoted himself with so much zeal and perseverance, until the day of his death. Although, as above stated, the present program was intended to be published by my Father, still the necessary detailed investigations were scarcely more than commenced, for which reason also no manuscript had been compiled. I find however, among my late Fathers papers, notes on most of the animal forms mentioned in the following lines, and with respect to some of them also more complete descriptions, which have been of great help to me in the elaboration of the present program. I have also always quoted as conscienciously as possible my Father's more coherent remarks, which certainly will have their important value. Where this has taken place, I have always expressly remarked it in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Animals have existed on Earth for many hundreds of millions of years. In that time they have evolved into a great variety of forms, exploiting nearly every habitat the planet has to offer. In the dark depths of the oceans, in the seemingly inhospitable Polar Regions, in the driest deserts, even within the bodies of other animals, there are animal species that have developed unique and extraordinary means of surviving and thriving. Extraordinary Animals: An Encyclopedia of Curious and Unusual Animals is an exploration of those members of the animal kingdom who possess strange and bizarre adaptations that allow them to survive in the most extreme environments, or whose complex lives can only be said to be bewildering. From the tar-baby termite to the blue whale, from the harpy eagle to the naked mole rat, these species reflect the exceptionally broad spectrum of life, showing just how diverse the animal kingdom is. Extraordinary Animals has been thoroughly researched for scientific accuracy, but is accessibly written in everyday language. Each entry includes a description of the animal, an explanation of its odd behavior, other interesting scientific and trivial facts, and black and white illustrations. In addition, a fun and interactive Go Look section encourages readers to go look for the animals in the outside world.
