The book by marine biologist Helen Scales is dedicated to the most ordinary and mysterious, well-known and in some ways completely unfamiliar creatures - fish. Their bewitchingly interesting life passes hidden from us, under the surface of the water, in the depths of the ocean, and therefore remains largely underestimated and misunderstood by us. The writer, being a diver, spent hundreds of hours underwater, observing the life of marine life, and now, as a guide, she invites us on an exciting journey through the seas and oceans, along the rivers of Europe and America, along the reefs and the depths of the sea. We'll swim with manta rays and sharks, marvel at the cleverness of cleaner wrasses, and marvel at the beauty and whimsical habits of a wide variety of fish, from clownfish to piranhas and deep-sea anglerfish. And we will also learn a lot about why deadly poisonous fish do not poison themselves, how fish in a school do not collide with each other, how they manage to avoid the jaws of swift predators, why they draw secret graffiti on their bodies (and who reads them), what the sounds they make and how they made a deal with bacteria to glow and see in the dark. We learn that fish are far from being as primitive as they were imagined - they can count, use tools, comprehend the laws of physics, can solve complex logical problems, have social intelligence and are capable of cooperation. Fish exhibit behaviors that were previously thought to be limited to humans and some large-brained primates. On the pages of the book, we will also meet tireless scientists of the past and present, who have devoted their lives to the study of marine creatures, learn about the most ancient fish and how fish learned to live on land. A fascinating book filled with a huge amount of facts, no doubt, inspire readers to get to know these amazing creatures better and make them think that they are much smarter and live an incomparably more complex and interesting life than is commonly thought. • Half of all animal species that have a backbone are fish. • There are about 30,000 species of fish in the world and about the same number of species of birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals combined. • Pisces think, learn, remember, see colors, hear and sing. Quotes At first glance, fish are dumb and deaf creatures. <…> In reality, fish make and hear sounds, but it took a long time for people to realize how sounding the underwater world can be, partly because we are not adapted to hearing with water-filled ears. Underwater soundscapes are very subtle. Far from being a chaotic cacophony, recent studies have shown that fish scream when and how they want: they adjust their voices to the overall sound, like an orchestra creating a melody. The mating rituals of people can also take place with the participation of swim bladders of fish. Approximately 100 years ago, reusable condoms were made from them in Europe. The book is published in the "Animals" series, paperback with wide flaps. The book is supplemented with 16 pages of full-color illustrations. For whom The book will be of interest to those who are not indifferent to the underwater world and its inhabitants, as well as to everyone who loves the mysterious world of nature that surrounds us.
