The vividly and engagingly written reports by biology teacher Johannes F. Brakel allow for an intensive encounter with animals of various kinds. They are enjoyable to read, deepen initial personal observations of animals, or learn something entirely new and surprising. Therefore, the book is suitable both as a reading book for zoology in the classroom and for independent reading at home. The selection of animals does not follow any specific system. However, it takes into account zoological peculiarities that even some adults may not know. The following animals are presented: ant, beaver, great spotted woodpecker, dolphin, elephant, bat, fox, grebe, hedgehog, camel, crane, dung beetle, buff-breasted sandpiper, musk ox, robin, chimpanzee, swallow, swallowtail, and eagle owl.
