The bedside ark: A riotous assembly of unrespectable southern African creatures

Plot

"This riotous assembly of unrespectable creatures comprises 42 short accounts of southern Africa's vibrant collection of wild animals. ... Basing his accounts on accurate, true-to-life detail, but always looking on the light side, author David Muirhead captures the weird and wonderful lives of his subjects, investigating their often-exaggerated reputations, their habits, weaknesses, armouries and modi operandi."--Back cover.
