Follow on Google News | New book of dolphin science trivia for young adultsAmazing stuff you didn’t know you didn’t know about dolphins
“This book is a lovingly curated collection of weird, unexpected, and remarkable bits of dolphin trivia,” said Gregg, “the kind of factoids I regularly break out at parties to get people talking about the zany world of dolphin science.” Showcasing some of the less well-known dolphin traits like their ability to call each other by name, sense magnetic fields, or their immunity to drowning, this book aims to impress even the most knowledgeable dolphin aficionado or trivia buff. Gregg has travelled the world studying dolphins in the wild, and supplements the scientific information in the book with his own (often humorous) take on dolphin behavior. Aimed at an audience ages 12 and over, 22 Fantastical Facts about Dolphins translates the latest scientific findings into fun and witty prose that will delight dolphin lovers everywhere. Outside the Lines Press is a family run independent publisher based in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. “Throughout the publication of this book, I have relied on local editors and designers,” said Gregg. “Nova Scotia is chalk full of amazing artists and writers, and I am proud to show that a small indie press based in a tiny rural town can create world-class books using only local talent.” 22 Fantastical Facts about Dolphins retails for $9.99 US and can be purchased from Amazon, or other online retailers.
