(cover image from http://www.mike-wilks.com/cover-ultimateno.html) Finely sketched drawings of impalas and toucans and ibexes - 353 pairs of exotic animals - are jumbled up on the large lively pages. The reader's challenge is first, to detect every animal appearing on each page (dense descriptions of each animal follows). However, there is one animal which is unpaired, and the grand challenge of this eye-bending puzzle is to identify this solitary creature.
