Extremely Gross Animals
It’s survival of the grossest kind! Snot. Vomit. Spit. Poop. Everyone knows these are gross, right? Well, for some animals, they’re crucial ingredients for survival! This book explores more than 30 of these animals and their grossest of the gross habits, from dung beetles who live for feces, to hagfish who cover themselves in gooey slime to escape predators, to bullfrogs who puke up their entire stomachs for cleaning purposes. It’s all so icky. And so awfully interesting! Kids will need to hold their noses before diving into this one! (Barf bags not included.)

A fish that walks on land, a frog that makes its own sunscreen, and an insect that can become invisible? Whether to avoid predators, to stalk prey, or to withstand extreme temperatures, Earth's creatures have evolved some outrageous features and tricks to ensure survival. For example, did you know that the geoduck (nope, it's not a duck, it's a clam) can live as long as 160 years? And that the aye-aye, a nocturnal primate, uses echolocation and a long, spindly finger to find and dig up food? Or that in its deep-ocean habitat, the vampire squid uses bioluminescence to startle predators? These are among the many animals that show evolution and adaptation at work.
