Oceanus

A breathtaking visual encyclopedia of the world's most fascinating ocean animals.

Featuring more than 125 amazing creatures of the deep and hundreds of vintage zoological illustrations, Oceanus is the gorgeous guide to the fish class (a.k.a. animals that live in the water!). Enchanting artwork from some of the world's most accomplished zoological artists adorns over 140 pages of facts, charts, and taxonomic trees. Written by Lindy Mattice, author of How to Speak Animal and Mammalia, this visual tome is as stunning as it is informative and a must-have vintage treasure.

Lindy Mattice has always had a deep love for animals. When she was just seven years old, her family joined a wildlife rehabilitation organization where Lindy spent countless hours caring for young, orphaned animals who were eventually released back into the wild. She also worked with a local group as a pet detective, helping train dogs to search for lost pets. She was a member of the FFA (Future Farmers of America) organization, where she competed on the horse judging team and showed sheep. Lindy received her bachelor of science degree in agriculture science from Cal Poly. She currently resides in Bakersfield, California, with her husband and three children. She loves their family’s two dogs and cat and her weekly horseback riding lessons.
