Charles Darwin: "In terms of size, mammals are an anomaly, as the vast majority of the world's existing species are snail-sized or smaller."

Sowbug, a relative of the insect - a terrestrial crustacean

Strange - unity and harmony of our world,
creatures big and small living as one;
moving on a common path of evolution 
guided by no other than an unseen Hand.  

Author's daughter Anna, in disbelief of a "new" species of lizard.

Move over Darwin, Lamarck, Oparin,
pioneers of life, its origin and evolution.
Give way to the artist, creator of a world
of his own concept and interpretation.

"It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest."- David Attenborough
