Mario Ludwig's recently unveiled publication, titled "Where Ugliness Is Not a Fault"
Dr. Mario Ludwig, a renowned biologist and columnist, has penned a new book titled "Not Everyone Can Be a Kitten." Published by Bastei Lübbe, the paperback book contains 192 pages and retails for 10 Euro.
In "Not Everyone Can Be a Kitten," Dr. Ludwig presents the peculiarities of lesser-known animal celebrities, shedding light on their unique qualities in a new and fascinating way. The book's chapters are divided to reveal the unique aspects of various animals, each chapter entertaining and filled with the author's sympathetic grin.
The focus of the book is on why animals that may not meet human standards of beauty often have an advantage in nature. Dr. Ludwig argues that nature values function and survival over aesthetics, and animals that don't fit human ideals of beauty can actually be more successful or advantageous in their environments.
One example of this is the bearded vulture, a scavenger that seems to have quite a bit of fun in its nest. Bearded vultures in Europe have remarkably tolerant sexual relationships, with about a third being a ménage à trois or involving homosexual relationships.
Another fascinating creature discussed in the book is the queen naked mole-rat. This small, hairless, wrinkled rodent keeps a male harem, similar to the bearded vultures. Naked mole-rats are known for their pain-insensitivity, resistance to cancer, and the ability to move their incisors individually.
The author also delves into the lives of animals like the African marabou stork, which defecates on its bird legs to cool off, and the tiger snail, a creature often wished for extinction by hobby gardeners. Tiger snails are lovers that mate hanging from a slime thread at great heights.
In addition, the book features the life of a tiny bear-like creature, resembling a steroid-inflated Michelin man, that can function under extreme conditions. The author also reports that the larger the nose of a male proboscis monkey, the better his chances with the females, similar to human folklore.
