Chris says “ Marine creatures don’ t always receive the attention of
their ‘ landlubber’ counterparts” but his engaging and often hilarious
writing style turns an animal which at first appears ordinary into the
extraordinary! For instance, did you know that the father seahorse
gives birth to the babies and keeps the young in a pouch, just like a
kangaroo? Or, amazingly, that the venomous blue-ringed octopus has
a beak in it its mouth just like your pet budgie, only with a toxic saliva
sting!
