Opis

Wombat poos are box-shaped to stay where they're deposited and serve as messages to other animals. Baby golden tortoise beetles pile poop on their backs to create a shield as protection from predators. Silver-spotted skipper caterpillars can shoot their poops 40 times their own body length to conceal their true locations. Baby hoopoes squirt their poops into the eyes of attackers and who wants feces in their faces? Baby Ozark blind cave salamanders use gray bat guano for food. The bottom ( ) line: Ever-inventive Nature finds a thousand uses for poop. Nothing goes to waste ( ). This book is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser with a lot of information to share.
