Ahmed El-Deeb captures the amazing in science and narrates it with the beauty of literary and artistic performance, producing contemplative texts that are engaging and invite deep reflection and contemplation. What an achievement! In the pages of this illustrated book, we will encounter fish that can recognize themselves, mice that communicate through song, whales that manipulate their prey, beetles that play with light and use it as a weapon for survival, snakes that are adept at cooking poisons, spiders that are masters of acting, frogs that build castles, real dragons armed with heavy armor, wasps worthy of a horror movie star, an owl that terrorizes its prey by moonlight, lions that successfully threaten an empire on which the sun never sets, unknown creatures that inhabit the darkness of the depths, legends of ancient creatures that dominated the Earth for millions of years before becoming extinct, tales of new creatures that may threaten the entire world with extinction, and other limitless wonders from the animal universe. Louis Leakey was not disappointed. Soon, Jane Goodall sent him a strange observation that no scientist had ever recorded—and perhaps even imagined. An old chimpanzee with a gray beard—for this reason, Goodall named him David Greybeard—was stripping a thin twig of its leaves, then drenching it with his saliva before pushing his sticky “hook” into the visible holes in termite burrows, extracting from their depths his precious catch of protein-rich insects! Just days later, the entire clan was following the example of the gray-bearded old man, hunter, toolmaker, and teacher! In November 1960, a telegram returned to Goodall with Leakey’s reply: “Now we must redefine the tool. Or redefine the man. Or accept the chimpanzee as a human.”
