Mates For Life: Devoted couples from the Animal Kingdom

Mates for Life is an affectionate and amusing look at our neighbours in the animal kingdom that opt for monogamous relationships. The message is: if they can do it, why can't we?

Stunning colour photography captures cuddly, cute or cooing couples in their natural habitats - designed to melt even the hardest heart, while informative text describes their mating rituals, the often elaborate display of feathers or fur, the special relationship the couples enjoy, family life with their offspring, plus fascinating facts about the species.

Gibbons and guinea fowl, jackals and wolf eels, swans, seahorses, angel fish, beavers and vultures are just a few of the creatures that prove that devotion to one partner is a way of life we should aspire to.
