Welcome to the charmingly funny and perfectly peculiar world of Aussie animal mums and dads and their awesome kids. Peculiar Parents explores 60 Australian native animals, focusing in particular on all things family, including their courting practices, gestation periods, births and the raising of their young. Discover the weird and wonderful, the cute and cuddly--even the slimy and ugly! You will find parrots that play the drums and cuttlefish that can change the colour of their skin to attract a mate, as well as dancing spiders, kissing lizards, parading pelicans, plonking pobblebonks and many more.
