About the book: 1997 / Ardently in love with the nature of his native land, R. Bedichek dedicated this book to the animal world of hot Texas. While maintaining a purely scientific approach to the presentation of curious observations, the author does not try to “overwhelm” the reader with an abundance of special terminology, but infects with fanatical devotion to the subject of his attention, thanks to which a scientifically competent study turns into an enthusiastic hymn to nature, its amazing diversity, wisdom, abundance of secrets and wonderful discoveries.
