Parasites

In nature, parasites are only out for themselves, often to the detriment of their host. This fascinating book puts the spotlight on some of the nastier organisms in nature—like the louse that lives in a fish's mouth! Readers will discover through the inviting, at-level text that parasitic behavior is just a part of life, one of the necessary adaptations that help certain creatures survive in the wild. They'll love this volume's colorful photographs and fact boxes that highlight more interesting information.
