Synopsis
Lesbian lizards, gay orgies of manatees, polyamorous oystercatchers, trans clownfish, bisexual red deer, and masturbating bonobos! Created by trans woman and ecologist Otter Lieffe, and richly illustrated by Anja Van Geert, this entertaining and educational coloring book celebrates the diversity of animals and how beautiful queer communities exist far beyond the realms of human culture, as well as challenge the cis-het norms pervasive in biology by showing that there is so much more to life than making little baby animals.
