Deep inside caves; at the bottoms of oceans and lakes; beneath the ground: these concealed habitats are absent of sunlight. This strange and fascinating world of complete darkness is not a solitary placemdash;it is inhabited by millions of life forms. Yet most humansmdash;creatures of daylightmdash;have never seen any of them. Until now. In this fascinatingmdash;sometimes eeriemdash;book; extreme wildlife photographer and scientist Danteacute; Fenolio brings the denizens of these shadowy haunts into focus. Life in the Dark shows us the many ways in which life forms have adapted to lightless environments; including refinements of senses; evolution of unique body parts; and illumination using "biological flashlights." With more than 200 mesmerizing color photographs; Life in the Dark unveils bizarre creatures like the firefly squid; the giant Amazonian catfish; the Chinese cavefish; and even the human bot fly; which lives in the darkness beneath its hostrsquo;s skin. Fenoliorsquo;s rich and vibrant images shed new light on the worldrsquo;s fascinating creatures of darkness.
