Outrageous Animal Adaptations: From Big-Eared Bats to Frill-Necked Lizards

This nonfiction book looks at the unusual traits animals have developed to stay alive. Examples include a fish able to move across land, a frog that produces its own sun protection, and an insect that can disappear from view. The book explains that adaptations can help creatures escape predators, pursue prey, or endure severe temperatures. Color photographs, source material, and additional back matter accompany its survey of many kinds of animals and their survival strategies.
