Purrrrfect Pictures and Other Critter Capers Featured in Ripley’s Newest Book

Animal Radio

From cat cameras to porky Picassos, there are 29 pages of amazing animal facts in Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Prepare to Be Shocked! book. The book also contains more than 2,500 weird, wacky, bizarre and quirky facts, feats and events from around the world.

Some of the amazing animal stories include:
• Cats that take pictures with tiny cameras strapped to their collars
• A dog ate $750 of its owner’s money – and gave some back the hard way!
• Baby pigs create works of art by painting with their feet and snouts
• A dog so smart that it can serve customers and collect money in a shop in Taiwan
• A bearded dragon had to go to the vet after eating a 7-inch rubber lizard
• A cat in China says its own name – Agui- when it gets scared
• A cockatoo spent two weeks trying to hatch a bowl of chocolate Easter eggs
• “Desmond”, a Jack Russell terrier was rushed into surgery after eating his owners false teeth

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Prepare to be Shocked! offers a full-color, wide-ranging glimpse into the wonderful world of the weird. From Canada to China, from cats to chimpanzees, the listings cover every aspect of life and geographic region of the planet. Among the pages the reader will find a chocolate dessert served in a New York City restaurant that costs $25,000 and a hamburger dished up in Tokyo that costs $125! Turn a few pages and there’s a beautiful replica of the Last Supper tattooed on a man’s back and a few pages later, there’s a photo of an 86-pound tumor removed from a woman in Serbia.

Since 1929, hundreds of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! books have presented the weird, the beautiful, the disgusting, the macabre and
the amazing for public consumption.
