La mer, la nuit / The Sea, at night

A NIGHT DIVE TO DISCOVER WHAT SEA CREATURES DO WHILE WE SLEEP…

 

What do sea creatures do at night? When the sun disappears behind the horizon and the water turns black? Beneath the surface, there’s still life. While orcas only sleep with one eye closed, some species camouflage themselves, while others hunt… The immortal jellyfish glows in the dark, the blotched picarel changes its appearance, the fish sleeps with its eyes open, the sperm whale sleeps vertically and the Cassiopea andromeda upside down… A book that reveals the fascinating and mysterious nocturnal behaviour of cetaceans, molluscs, fish, jellyfish, anemones, mammals, crustaceans and corals…

 

A visual as well as educational immersion, with 8 explanation pages at the end of the book overseen by Guillaume Lecointre, zoologist and professor at the Paris Natural History Museum.
