Schon gewusst? Drei Herzen hat der Oktopus und Mantiden können ihren Kopf um 180 Grad drehen. Giraffen schlafen nur 5 Minuten und das höchstens 6-mal am Tag und Koalas schlummern mit 18 Stunden noch länger als Faultiere. Für dieses Buch wurden kurze Fakten über Tiere zusammengetragen und mit vielen Farbfotos in Szene gesetzt. Die Rekorde fallen Schlag auf Schlag und haben in der Aufmachung manchmal etwas Reißerisches an sich. Die größten, kleinsten, schnellsten, langsamsten, lautesten, kuriosesten sowie tödlichsten Tiere wurden in einzelnen Kapiteln zusammengefasst. Neben Spezies der heutigen Zeit wird je 1 Doppelseite einem Urzeit-Tier gewidmet. Und natürlich dürfen Quiz und "Challenge" nicht fehlen, bei der zwei Tiere mit ihrem Können gegenübergestellt und eines als Sieger hervorgeht. Hier wird schon sehr nach menschlichem Ermessen kategorisiert. Von eigenwilligen Visagen ist die Rede, heimtückischen Tieren und Tötungsraten. Wen wundert es, nachdem es auch eine Ugly Animal Preservation Society gibt
