Why I love Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia
And I quote from the 2003 edition, vol. 13, p. 52:
". . . no reasonable person would ever risk crawling down a wombat burrow, but a 15 year old boy explored many burrows of the common wombat in 1960 and wrote up his observation in a now-famous article in his school magazine. . . "
The 1972 edition is far fuller of fascinating descriptive material than the 2003, but the 2003 edition has many more adorable photos of baby animals. (Aren't I shallow librarian?)
