Exploding Ants: Amazing Facts about How Animals Adapt

40 pp. | Atheneum | April, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81739-8 $$16.00
(3) 4-6 Settel describes the specialized, if unappetizing, adaptations some animals and insects have developed to survive: birds that eat vomit, worms that live in dogs' noses, ants that explode to defend their colony. A colorful, contemporary design makes up for the limited, textbook-caliber visuals. At once a page-turner and a stomach-turner, this book offers a wealth of en-"gross"-ing information. Bib., glos., ind.
