The High-flow Cow (pictured below and on the front cover) is just one of many remarkable organisms recently created by the biotechnology industry. Here the author guides readers on a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey into the little-known world of genetic engineering. Field marks, behaviors, and geographic ranges are provided for 35 of the world's most top secret genetically engineered species. Also described are the historical sagas and personal dramas behind each creature's artificial manufacture. From Migratory Chickens and Marijuana sniffing Dogs to Fire-retardant Trees, Square Tomatos, and Oil-drinking Bacteria, the creatures described in this Field Guide give new meaning to the old adage that "fiction is stranger than truth."
