Of all the miracles of life, it is life's persistence that astounds the
most. In the endless black of the deepest caves, blind fish find their
way. In a frozen forest, snow monkeys find a cozy hot spring to keep
warm. Even in the salt desert's barren cold, flamingoes bloom like vivid
flowers. The 14 animals in this book defy the odds and make their homes
in the unlikeliest of places--under the weight of seas, in the belly of
tar pits, in the sandstorm's mouth.
