Ever wondered what animals eat? This book has all the answers!
Did you know that a hyena's teeth are strong enough to break elephant
bones? Or that ostriches don't chew their food so they eat stones to
grind it in their stomach? Or that pelicans have airbags that help them
to float and fish? Believe it or not, there are not a lot of books that
answer these questions!
Animals need their food just as much as people do. But they eat in very
different ways than we do... some eat plants and their mouths are
adapted for chewing a lot; some attack and hunt and need sharp claws and
fangs to do so, and others just have the strangest ways of digesting
their food!
The piranha can grow back teeth in just 100 days, the baby koalas -
called Joeys - eat their mother's poo as it helps them get used to
digesting plant fibre. Some spiders can eat lizards and mice and inject
paralyzing venom into their prey.
This book shares hundreds of fascinating facts about animals' behaviour:
from what they eat and how they hunt, to their favourite snacking time
and how they reproduce and communicate.
