{"product_id":"9781775844617","title":"The Bedside Ark - A Rioutous Assembly of Unrespectable Creatures","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis riotous assembly of unrespectable creatures comprises 42 short accounts of southern Africa's vibrant collection of wild animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the one-of-its-kind aardvark to the wilfully ignorant ostrich; the Houdini-like honey badger to the precariously specialised klipspringer; and from the curvaceous, sports-model springbok to the recklessly insensitive hyena - this book airs the dirty laundry (and shares the trade secrets) of some of our wackiest, most eccentric fauna. Many of the stories are illustrated with delightful line drawings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBasing his accounts on accurate, true-to-life detail, but always looking on the light side, author David Muirhead captures the weird and wonderful lives of his subjects, investigating their often exaggerated reputations, their habits, weaknesses, armouries and modi operandi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once informative and hugely entertaining, this riotous assembly will appeal to anyone with the slightest interest in wildlife and - for its excellent entertainment value - will make a particularly wonderful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+David+Muirhead\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDavid Muirhead\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Muirhead","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47375833399459,"sku":"9781775844617","price":190.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781775844617_3be5b57c-d9cc-4688-b10d-b24f3ef0c0a7.jpg?v=1776574474","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781775844617","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
