"Animals are a wild and wonderful part of our world. However, some animals and their stories are a little wilder than others! This fascinating book explores some of the animal kingdom's freakiest specimens and strangest scenarios--like the true tale of a two-headed housecat named 'Frankenlouie,' and of a chicken named Mike who lived for 18 months after getting his head chopped off! High-interest subject matter and amazingly freaky photographs will captivate readers, and enthralling sidebars and fact boxes present even more unbelievable--but true!--information about some of the most outrageous animals on Earth"--Provided by the publisher.
