"Jam-packed with fascinating information with plenty of the ick
factor to keep kids (and adults) turning the pages." -- San
Francisco Book Review
Sometimes nature can be nasty: snakes that spit poison, insects with
exploding bottoms, and tigers that have you for dinner. Throughout the
animal kingdom, creatures are equipped with lethal weapons, from
finger-length fangs to toxic tentacles, and have ingenious ways of
killing one another, from poisoning to dive-bombing to strangling and
even electrocuting! Discover the murderous methods of attack and defense
that make animals armed, dangerous, and deadly. Kids will sink their
teeth into this fascinating look at nature's fiercest creatures. Back
matter includes an index and a glossary.
