Meet incredible animals with all kinds of highly developed senses and
learn about the jobs they do in this book full of amazing facts, cool
science, and activities.
Fly alongside a photo-delivery pigeon, discover a honeybee's electric
secrets, and sail the high seas with a poop-sniffing dog detective on a
mission to save endangered killer whales. All of these animals use their
super senses, from echolocation to electroreception, to help human
coworkers tackle real-world problems like pollution and global warming.
Each chapter introduces a different animal, such as Cynthia, the
pipe-fixing ferret, and Rosita, a goat who helps prevent wildfires. With
bright and entertaining text alongside colorful photos and
illustrations, this book examines how each animal's behavior and biology
makes it perfectly suited for the job it does. At the end of each
chapter, curious young scientists are invited to explore their own human
senses through fun guided experiments.
