About this book

Language: Japanese

Chins that come off, males that are absorbed by females, shrimp that love toxic hot water, parenting with a corpse. This book is filled with full-colour photos showing creatures that are cute, scary, funny, and very strange, and have an unimaginable, splendid way of life. These strange and mysterious creatures live in the deep sea, the last unexplored region of the earth. This book introduces them with beautiful pictures that will take your breath away. Their unusual ecology shows the hard work they have to put in to be alive.
