What does it mean to be a mother? It all depends on the species. Continuing her captivatingly offbeat investigation into the myriad oddities of the animal kingdom that she began with the acclaimed GREEN PORNO series, Isabella Rossellini explores the maternal instincts of creatures great and small with wit, creativity, and often-surprising insights. From the sociopathically selfish cuckoo to the self-sacrificing spider to the cannibalistic hamster, these resourceful mothers keep their species going—by any means necessary.
