A fascinating cross section of strange marine animals I used my monthly Prime free borrow to read this book, and I didn’t regret using it, since I really enjoyed the book. I’ve been fortunate to have scuba dived for many years, and I’ve seen and photographed many of the creatures in the book. The author has included a nice sampling of weird-looking fish and invertebrates. The majority are relatively common, at least in certain locations, but some, like the Colossal Squid and Oarfish are extremely rare and are seldom seen. There are hundreds of other fish that could have qualified as “funny and weird,” but the book includes many of the best examples.The photography is excellent, as is the text which lists each species’ range, what they feed on, and a general description. At the end of the book is a 21-question quiz about what was learned in the reading. (Answers are also included.)The book is a nice introduction to the gallery of bizarre creatures that dwell beneath the seas of the world.
