In a world where people are always looking for the newest, strangest, and most exotic of things Danté Fenolio is able to deliver this in his new book, Life in the Dark.
Life in the Dark exposes us to the importance of biodiversity in a new rarely seen animal world. Animal hobbyists both beginners and experts will find new never before seen diverse specimens ranging from amphibians, arachnids, fish, and invertebrates. The colored picture quality is amazing and full of detail. Through these pictures we are lead down a path to learn even more through his examination of these animals and their shadowy habitats. Various habitats range from his exploration of subterranean caves, rivers, lakes, and to the deepest of ocean depths.
Danté is currently the director of conservation and research at the San Antonio Zoo and the information presented is easy to understand. I especially enjoyed his varying explanations on bioluminescence and its critical role in the lives of animals. Having been an exotic animal/nature enthusiast of over 35 years, it was a pleasant surprise that I was only aware of about 1/5 of the animals presented in his book, highlighting numerous undescribed species. Given over 200 detailed colored photographs and 300 pages of fascinating information, this is a must read, and comes at a good cost, for any animal/nature loving enthusiast.
