Living Night: On The Secret Wonders Of Wildlife After Dark by Sophia KimmigBrand fresh HardbackGenre: Mammal Zoology When the sun sets, things start to get interesting among wild animals. Wherever we live, whether in the city or suburbs or country, darkness conjures a hidden world of wildlife that extremely of us rarely glimpse. Foxes, wolves, and bears prowl while skunks, opossums, and porcupines lurk; fireflies send flashing signals to potential mates; raccoons rummage for food; owls and bats fly overhead.

Introducing us to night’s wild inhabitants, she reveals what life for them is like in this parallel world―how it looks, feels, and smells―and the ingenious ways some creatures thrive after sunset.
