Adaptation and Survival

The world can be a treacherous place and only the fittest animals--that have evolved methods of adapting to their environment--will survive. This intriguing book surveys the clever skills, tools, and features that animals and plants have developed to survive. Some fish and butterflies have patterns that look like eyes to fool predators into thinking they are much larger creatures than they really are. Some creatures camouflage so well that they're invisible to predators and prey. Readers will be delighted to learn about the awesome and adaptive powers of nature.
