From its duck-like bill and beaver tail to its egg-laying habits and venomous spurs, this remarkable animal is a living impossibility that thrives in its natural habitat through some genuinely strange biological tricks. A fascinating look at one of nature's true oddities and how it survives in the wild.

The Buried City

TangiKalaChief KnakaAlilleAbacabe

When an ancient Egyptian city buried deep in the jungle is discovered, the Arabian schemer Alille sees only treasure—and the slaves he'll need to claim it. As Tangi, queen of the Umbaa tribe, discovers her people captured and her mate Kala enslaved, she must navigate a treacherous path through the buried city itself to stop Alille and his brutal overseer Abacabe before the Umbaas are worked to death. With cunning as her only weapon against overwhelming odds, Tangi fights to free her people and expose the greed that threatens to consume them all.

The Wolverine
1 pp · non-fiction; animal

Despite weighing just 35 pounds, the wolverine is a fearless and cunning member of the weasel family—a vile-smelling thief with the strength of a man and a savage reputation that makes creatures far larger give it a wide berth. This 1953 account explores what makes the wolverine so formidable: its ability to raid even the most carefully concealed traps, its explosive fighting prowess, and the unique properties of its prized fur that makes it invaluable to those braving the far north.
