"100 Animals" is inspired by the Zoological Society of London's recently launched conservation project EDGE - Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered. EDGE targets some of the world's most bizarre and unusual creatures, which are extremely distinct in the way they look, live and behave. Some EDGE species, such as tigers, elephants and panda are well known, but this title features dozens of lesser known and extraordinary animals such as the Yangtze River Dolphin, the Bumblebee Bat and the egg laying Long-beaked Echidna. Colour photographs, distribution maps, 160pp. 2007
