Nature never ceases to amaze us, especially in the animal kingdom! In this book, children will accompany an explorer on her research, which has brought her face-to-face with some of the most bizarre and gross animals in the world. Young readers will discover that the Texas horned lizard will spray blood from its eyes to temporarily blind a predator, a hippopotamus scatters its feces with its tail, a giraffe cleans its ears and nose with its tongue, and many more fascinating and icky animal facts!
