Creatures of the Night

The secret world of nocturnal wildlife is seldom observed, even by the keenest of nature enthusiasts.

This unique book offers a window into the lives of little-known and studied creatures and their remarkable behaviour and adaptations in order to optimise their ability to go about their business in the hours of darkness.

Nocturnal creatures from around the world are covered by the series of stunning images, and these include flying squirrels, sugar gliders, skunks, foxes, cats (including Ocelot and Jaguar), raccoons, owls, bushbabies, genets, bats, frogs, toads, salamanders, snakes, geckos, spiders and a variety of insects.

Extended captions explain interesting facts about the creatures and behaviours shown, and also give advice on photography.

Authors and photographers Joe and Mary Ann McDonald have been photographing wildlife for many decades.

Their work has appeared in just about every major natural history publication and they are both editors for Nature Photographer magazine.

They have published many books and won a number of awards for their work.

One of their specialist areas is flash photography and taking images of nocturnal wildlife.
