Weird & Wild Animal Facts

Fourteen familiar animals, including kangaroos, hippos, and giraffes, are presented through their less familiar traits. The facts show how animal characteristics can serve defense, feeding, cleaning, or camouflage. A kangaroo’s kick can be deadly, a giraffe can reach its ears with its tongue, and a hippo’s teeth may be as long as a child’s arm. Photographs accompany the short animal facts.
