Things that make you go yuck! : odd couples / Jenn Dlugos & Charlie Hatton.

Dlugos, Jenn, (author.). Hatton, Charlie, (author.).

Summary:

"It takes two to tango--but in the wild, two can do much crazier things than dance. In "Things That Make You Go Yuck!: Odd Couples," you'll find out about nature's strangest dating rituals, cooperative couples, and parasite pests. You'll explore symbiotic pairings like the plover bird, affectionately nicknamed the "crocodile dentist," and hybrid "franken-species" that seem like something out of a science fiction tale. Whether it's nature's slimiest organizations or the weirdest mutations, "Things That Make You Go Yuck!" celebrates survival of the fittest, grossest, craziest, and creepiest things in nature, proving once and for all that life in the wild is anything but ordinary."-- Provided by publisher.
