Why Elephants Have Big Ears: And Other Riddles from the Natural World

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Why Elephants Have Big Ears expresses a wonderfully quirky curiosity about biology. Chris Lavers skillfully melds physiology, evolution, biomechanics, and ecology to answer questions almost too big to be asked. A delightful read." - Pat Shipman, Rhone-Poulenc Prize-winning co-author of The Wisdom of the Bones and author of Taking Wing

"If you want to understand evolution, read this. A pachyderm of a book!" - David Bellamy, author of Bellamy's New World

"A book which evokes a deeper fascination for nature's marvels." - Richard Leakey, author of The Origin of Mankind

"Holds delights for readers of all ages." - Publishers Weekly

"An excellent introduction to both physiology and biogeography." -- Booklist
