living room? In Family Beasts, zoologist and writer Andrés Cota Hiriart recounts his experiences with the unusual animals that have accompanied him throughout his life: from his earliest childhood, when his fascination with nature led him to become interested in the most varied insects, reptiles and amphibians and to turn his home into an improvised zoo; to his youth, when he traveled to such exotic places as the Galapagos, Borneo, Sulawesi and Guadalupe Island to observe wildlife in its natural habitat. Axolotls, orangutans, Komodo dragons, tarsiers and sea lions populate this hilarious and original book, with echoes of Gerald Durrell, in which the most surprising memories and anecdotes blend with the best scientific information sharing. Andrés Cota Hiriart transmits his passion for the natural world and invites us to reflect on the inescapable responsibility of human beings for the conservation of the planet. A wild and captivating memoir that teaches us to respect the life that surrounds us and lets us marvel at its amazing richness." -- Translation provided by NLS

la belleza de una especie y el esplendor de otra. Se presentan, en sencillas fichas, los puntos esenciales para obtener híbridos fácilmente. Por ejemplo, de la unión del jilguero de Himalaya con el canario mestizo, se obtiene un pájaro precioso, de canto armonioso, que tendrá las alas del jilguero y la cola y los ojos del canario. En la ficha de cada híbrido se facilita toda la información relativa a las características físicas de los padres, con qué facilidad se pueden encontrar, comportamiento de la descendencia, alimentación, tipo de jaulas, etc. Las descripciones están acompañadas de ilustraciones en color. Naturalmente, si queremos experimentar, podremos combinar animales de plumaje muy llamativo para intentar otras hibridaciones (siempre que las especies no sean muy diferentes y que se sigan los consejos que se dan en el libro). El lector encontrará también capítulos en los que se tratan los tipos de jaula, los cuidados diarios, la alimentación, los síntomas del pájaro enfermo, etc. Gianni Ravazzi es un gran aficionado a la ornitología que se dedica a la cría de muchas especies de pájaros. Colabora en algunos periódicos con artículos sobre temática medioambiental. Es autor de varias publicaciones en Editorial De Vecchi, entre las que destacan El jilguero, Ruiseñores, mirlos, tordos y otros insectívoros, Loros y periquitos, Pájaros domésticos de jaula y pajarera, Los camachuelos.
