I like to read about animals. In fact, I went to the library yesterday and I got books on skunks, camels, marsupials, snakes, pandas, and monkeys. The thing is - I usually get these books from the childrens' area. (The librarians think I am getting these books for my kids - I don't disillusion them.)
I don't necessarily want to read a 250 page book about skunks and about how some naturalist spent a year learning to be stinky. I do want to read a book that I can finish in half-an-hour and which tells me everything I want to know anyway.
Didja know there are no skunks in Africa, but there is an African polecat? It can spray its musk, but for some reason it isn't considered a skunk. Here is a cool website I found while researching the African Polecat. I liked it so much I wanted to share it.
