That’s so gross!
Presented in partnership with Ranger Rick and the National Wildlife Federation, prepare to be grossed out by an engaging and unique look at some of the more disgusting survival techniques from the animal kingdom.
From blood-squirting reptiles to blood-sweating mammals to nose-picking primates, learn about some of the ickiest creatures in the animal kingdom and the amazing purposes served by their grotty behaviors. From cleanup to dinnertime to self-defense, each off-putting act is actually an aid to survival!
Author Dawn Cusick and the National Wildlife Federation have compiled a volume as attractive as its subject is nasty.

Welcome to a world that will make you say ewww!
We share Earth with millions of animals. Unlike our family pets, though, wild animals have to take care of themselves. The gross things they do are usually adaptations that help them survive.
Elephants and rhinos, for example, feed poop (also called feces) to their young so they will be able to digest plants. If the calves did not eat feces, they would starve to death. When gorillas and orangutans pick their noses and eat it, they aren’t trying to gross us out. Instead, they are removing the dead skin and dried snot (called mucus) so they can smell food and nearby predators.
On your mark . . . get set . . . say ewww!
