For thousands of years, we have been captivated by the wildlife species around us. We've observed them, understood and misunderstood their behaviour, loved them, exploited them, and written them into our folklore. In recent decades, the dedication of curious and talented scientists has revealed remarkable physiological and behavioural adaptations that are simply astounding.
In this delightful compilation, ecologist Dr. Julie O'Connor explores some of the mysteries of nature that scientists have uncovered. From red foxes aligning with the Earth's magnetic field to a blind burrowing amphibian named after a former US president, 'Currawong Pie' offers a banquet of wildlife revelations. Incorporating scientific research, historic texts, and beautifully complemented by photographs from the author, 'Currawong Pie' invites you to savour the rich tapestry of life into which we are all woven.
