Summary:
Ripley's Believe It or Not meets National Geographic in this book about some of the grossest yet most fascinating ways
animals
have adapted to survive. Survival of the Grossest explores how some of the most effective -- and often truly foul -- survival
adaptations
in the
animal
world involve poop, mucus, spit, foul smells and sprays, nasty eating habits, disembodied body parts and zombification. Organized into seven 4-page sections and including more than 30 creatures in all their
gross
glory, the book is written in an upbeat tone that delights in delivering the dirt on the almost unbelievable ways
animals
have adapted to survive and thrive. And in addition to appealing to readers' natural interest this wild world of
gross
, it also encourages them to think like scientists and appreciate how these
animals
are as incredible as they are
gross
. Endmatter includes a glossary, selected sources and an index. And although it doesn't, it probably should include a warning to keep a barf-bag handy, just in case.
