Description:
Award-winning nature writer Richard Conniff sits down with African wild dogs and lets them sniff his neck to test the idea that they are vicious man-eaters. He sticks his hand in a fire ant mound. He flings chicken carcasses into piranha-infested waters to clock how quickly they disappear before diving in himself. Wherever these ill-advised journeys take him, Richard reveals little-known truths about various exotic species of animals and debunking myths about others.
