Ocho cerditos : Reflexiones sobre historia natural

Within its pages, we find astonishing stories (such as that of Lonesome George, the last survivor of a species of tortoise that will have disappeared by the time he dies), discover unknown aspects of the history of living things (that the first terrestrial vertebrates had eight fingers on each hand —and how we came to have only five)—, and curious episodes from the history of science (what Bishop Ussher based his claim on that Creation took place in 4004 BC, on October 23rd at noon). Alongside these and other surprising stories, we find accompanying essays.
