[Fake media release made for Uni]
Crazy animals are everywhere, not just in Australia, but it shouldn’t be a surprise that two Australian researchers have taken a keen (and weird?) interest in them. Fun facts are great when they’re also enlightening, and that’s just what Nic Gill and Roman Cristescu managed to do in their latest book “Poo, Spew and other Gross Things Animals Do”. Yes, an unusual angle to say the least, but a great way to talk about evolution, mating, surviving in the wild or making a home in the animal kingdom. Through this unusual title, they make sure that readers know what to expect. And once you get into the reading, there’s nothing to be disappointed about. Their work, released in April 2022 through CSIRO Publishing, is full of interesting anecdotes to make the reader more knowledgeable on the environment and shine through this amazing, unexpected knowledge. Did you know that the bird-dropping spider can conceal itself in the wild by taking the colours of a bird’s poo? The CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) enabled the authors to go in-depth in their research and thus deliver a comprehensive scientific and evolutionary perspective on animal nature. Authors took the time to analyse data to make it available for a greater audience. They are now publishing their book and are ready to explain more in-depth how their work process unfolded. After all, potential readers will be very much interested in how two minds had the idea to come up with such an unexpected concept. Giving them a call to discuss their original book would be a great idea! About the authors: Nic Gill is a Tasmanian author, environmental writer, and conservation dog handler. Her dog, Zorro, is a Tasmanian masked owl vomit detection dog, and is also an avid consumer of books, albeit in a more literal sense than Nic would like. Her first book, Animal Eco-Warriors, was a Children’s Book Council of Australia Notable Book. Dr Romane Cristescu trained and worked as a vet in France before relocating to Australia to study koalas. She is also a poo science evangelist, who likes nothing more than discussing the illuminating qualities of animal excrement at otherwise polite parties. Rachel Tribout is an illustrator and graphic designer from France based in Tasmania. She's the illustrator of Hold On! Saving the Spotted Handfish, the author and creator of The Monsters of Tasmania and is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
