Produktbeschreibung

Baby golden tortoise beetles pile poop on their backs to create a shield as protection from predators.  Silver-spotted skipper caterpillars can shoot their poops 40 times their own body length to conceal their true locations.  Baby hoopoes squirt their poops into the eyes of attackers -- and who wants feces in their faces?  Baby Ozark blind cave salamanders use gray bat guano for food. The bottom (!!) line: Ever-inventive nature finds a thousand uses for poop.  Nothing goes to waste (!!).  This book is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser with a lot of information to share.

Autorenporträt

SARA MARTEL endured innumerable close encounters with poop during her eleven years as a zoo-keeper at the St. Louis Zoo. Mostly these were from species dear to her, including the multiple fly-by poopings she received from rainbow lorikeets. She served, too, as an assistant field biologist helping with seabird research for organizations including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Sara has since written about wildlife conservation efforts for regional and national publications including Sierra, National Wildlife, Birder's World, Birding, and the Boston Globe Magazine. Her husband Rick, along with Scout the dog and Maverick the cat, heard countless dinner-time poop tales during this book's writing.
