When Nature Takes Shape 当自然有了形状

Who wears armor covered in vertical spikes? Who possesses ears resembling two pointed towers? Whose eggs have acquired the shape of a spinning top, firmly perched on precarious cliffs? And which animals are adorned with stripes from head to toe?

Understand the six shapes: spherical, circular, angular, oval, linear, and annular, manifested in animals and plants, and learn the stories behind their shapes.

This book categorizes and organizes 360 animals and plants using a familiar classification method for children—shape classification—sorting them into different categories.

This natural classification guide, based on geometric shapes, has six categories: spherical, circular, angular, oval, linear, and annular.

It features sketches and portraits of nearly 360 animals and plants created by French biologist × and nominated illustrator, interpreting nature in a poetic manner.
