The Fortean Times Book of Exploding Pigs and Other Strange Animal Stories

by Ian Simmons (Editor)

Collected from accounts the world over. Among these 375 brief, mind-boggling reports of animal mishaps and misadventures-from the drunken monkey who defended a pantry-corner foothold by hurling potatoes and oranges a the hapless homeowners to the team of rebbits, that overtook a coastal Russian town by marching in formation to feed on sea kelp-are the animal stories you never heard as a child.

[Graham · Rating 4 out of 5]

A compendium of short, amusing or unusual animal stories culled from the pages of the Fortean Times, and taken from newspapers and periodicals from around the globe. This is a follow-up to their excellent BOOK OF STRANGE DEATHS and, although not quite in the same league, it's still a fast, fitfully funny read.
