living room? In Family Beasts, zoologist and writer Andrés Cota Hiriart recounts his experiences with the unusual animals that have accompanied him throughout his life: from his earliest childhood, when his fascination with nature led him to become interested in the most varied insects, reptiles and amphibians and to turn his home into an improvised zoo; to his youth, when he traveled to such exotic places as the Galapagos, Borneo, Sulawesi and Guadalupe Island to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. Axolotls, orangutans, Komodo dragons, tarsiers and sea lions populate this hilarious and original book, with echoes of Gerald Durrell, in which the most surprising memories and anecdotes blend with the best scientific information sharing. Andrés Cota Hiriart transmits his passion for the natural world and invites us to reflect on the inescapable responsibility of human beings for the conservation of the planet. A wild and captivating memoir that teaches us to respect the life that surrounds us and lets us marvel at its amazing richness." -- Translation provided by NLS
