<p> A spectacular collection of animals who are at home in the dark. </p><p> <i>Creatures of the Night</i> features more than a dozen extraordinary animals that live in the dark. These are mammals, birds, insects and spiders whose unique physical features help them to survive in the pitch-black darkness of jungles, fields and in the air. </p><p> The animals featured include: <ul> <li> Aye-aye -- A lifetime spent in rain forest trees where they curl up to sleep during the day </li> <li> Common Glow-worm -- Bioluminescent beetle that doesn't look like a beetle </li> <li> Fungi -- More closely related to animals than plants, fungi "expand" (rather than grow) over a damp night </li> <li> Kinkajou -- Night-roaming cousin of raccoons </li> <li> Mexican Red-kneed Tarantula -- Hunts at night, capturing insects, frogs, lizards and mice </li> <li> Net-casting spider -- A huge pair of forward-facing eyes help it to see at night </li> <li> Railroad worm -- The only animal that is naturally bioluminescent in the red spectrum </li> <li> Vampire bat -- Day-sleepers that hunt during the darkest part of the night. </li> </ul></p><p> Intricately drawn artworks give accurate details of each animal's anatomy and behavior, and stunning photographs show how each animal hunts. </p>
