Description
From slime mold to the sea slugs and the gerenuk to the leaf-tailed gecko, the Einstein Sisters bring you some of the weirdest creatures of the world, on land and in the sea: • The Shoebill from Africa can stand so still when hunting fish to eat that it looks like a statue. • The pink meanie is a newly discovered species of jellyfish that eats other jellyfish. • Tardigrades, or water bears, are micro-animals that live at the tops of volcanoes and at the bottom of the sea. • A frogfish catch its food by swimming close very slowly then opening its mouth quickly and sucking in its prey. • Fireflies have special organs in their abdomens that produce light. • Thorny devils can drink water from any part of their bodies.
