These are just a few of the quirky groupings artist Tai Snaith uses to categorise her favourite animals from around the world.

Discover the habits, traits and fantastic features of over 200 night-time creatures. Including facts and information about the curious nocturnal animals found inside, Wonders Under the Moon is a delightfully illustrated field guide for all the aspiring explorers, artists, environmentalists and taxonomists.
